Would like to think they'll share a glass of red and agree on which rats need wiping out.

The c@nts get paid millions and they think it's ok to not try so hard, well the Chelsea fans think they are a bunch of w@nkers, not all of them, they know who it was. Over 90% of Chelsea fans wanted to keep him as manager they know he's the best manager in the world and if we are lucky enough to get him, they will be gutted, gutted I tell yer, which makes his appointment all the sweeter.

Abramovic ordinarily wouldn't have stood for Chelsea being mid-table heading into October let alone hovering around the relegation zone half way through the season. He gave Mourinho enough time to turn it around, more than he'd give any other, but he had pissed off the players so much change had to happen.

It didn't wash with the Chelsea fans, they were and still are gutted at his sacking again.

Like they were with Ancelotti and Di Matteo

They'll stop caring once Conte starts work.

led the club through a difficult period and although we were often equally difficult to watch, there were some great moments and he was always good value. also brought silverware back to united and has hopefully left behind a genuine legacy after just two years.

i hope cardies and outers alike can come together in appreciation.

23% of the minutes played in the Premier League this season by teenagers happened in a United shirt.

Straw grasped firmly

Slightly nostalgic for that first balls out summer of optimism. Not going to miss most of what followed. Good guy who quickly lost his way, for whatever reason - partly him, partly the club.

Excited that once again we are getting a manager that everyone suddenly hates

Some of the football was torturous on the eye, but I've always been under the impression that it was all part of the weening process to get these players educated and adapted to a fluid continental style. It was never going to be a seamless transition, especially with a core of English players.

Ultimately, it hasn't worked, for a variety of reasons, but I don't think any of those reasons are because Van Gaal is a bad manager. Hopefully some of the wisdom he would have passed on to the younger players will stay with them, just like his team's name will always stay on the FA Cup.

Well said.

It's the relentless shit he's had to fend off and the shallow analysis that will stay with me. I do think it's the right thing for him to go. He'd reached a tipping point, but he was deserved better than this week and then press and revolting slugs. Custis looks as every press member should.

There's a club full of players if have binned before him. Hope you enjoy your days in the sun Louis. Thanks for the 2 years you gave us a rollercoaster yeah enjoyable hell yeah would I have changed anything. Bar Powell in the cl not a jot.

I would never let you send emails if you were in my team.

They won't of course but Custis and his ilk should be banned for life from OT.

As another one of his buboes ruptures.

Right up until the moment it was confirmed that he could not foist any more of his soul destroying joyless shite on us, I couldn't stand the @#%&! and wanted him out by any means necessary, preferably catapult.

As soon as his departure was confirmed and the pain at an end, I felt a tiny modicum of sympathy for the way his dismissal had been leaked, just as he was enjoying the cup win. A move devoid of class from all involved.

He is, by all accounts, a good bloke and I wish him no particular harm now he's gone.

Moyes didn't get United, insomuch as he still thought he was at Everton.

Van Gaal didn't get United, insomuch as WE DO NOT PLAY LIKE THAT.

Mourinho had better get his shit together quickly.
