The firepower they have is incredible and they're ripping teams up on the counter. 

Cool stat I saw recently (could be bogus) is that Jose's teams have always finished the year in the exact same position as they were after 12 league games. Basically he's a great front runner. The anti-fergie in a way. He used to almost prefer to hunt down teams from behind.

I don't think so.. I think whoever finishes above United wins the league, personally.

That's a decent little stat.. I've not heard that one before..

Being that i am a chelsea fan, i personally hate jose. He has a special place in my HoF of hatred lol. one that can only be achieved when you like someone at one moment only to have them let you down in a huge Kind of way. 

It isn't the fact that he won the league one year only to do soo bad the next, he not only got sacked, but it almost appeared we could be relegated. No, the reason i have can't stand "the special one" is because after all that he went to the one team i can't stand.

 Most chelsea fans hate arsenal or tottenham because of the london rivalry. But seeing as how i am across the ditch i dont really care about location. I know alot of you guys in the UK hate chelsea because of the fact that we have alot bandwagon fans because our recent success. But the same is true over here for Manure. 

So many people who know very little about football like man u simply because they dont know of any other team. I was watching a Game the other day at Lynches pub here in jax and bumped into a couple manure fans. we hung out and watched our games and i asked them why the they chose to side with man u. "because of that movie Euro trip bro."  was their awesome response lol. Thats a fantastic reason.    those are generally the type of people who like the reds over here lol. 

Now that i got that awesome rant off my chest, I cant get to the point at hand lol. I completely agree. Manure has made some excellent moves this offseason.  since i am a blues fan, The lukaku and matic move especially piss me off but i think they are pivotal to making that squad as dangerous as they now look. I am still scratching my head trying to figure out why we let matic walk. we have had to spend nearly 70 mil to fill that hole he left and im not completely sure we have done it. Bakayoko and drinkwater are good but im not sure they are better than the Serbian giant. He instantly made the center of manure better and was a great addition to the counter attacking style they have been playing. 

Jose Got his team that is willing to spend big and attract huge talent from around euro. I dont think my boys are going to win the EPL but my hope this season is that we can make a push in the champions league and maybe knock manure around like we did last year. They kicked our [BLEEP] at home but we drilled them at old trafford twice(once in league and once in fa cup iirc.)

I personally think the only team who has a shot at finishing above manure is pep's city. They still have a fantastic team and really are the ones who look up to matching untied. On paper at least.
