It's easy to jump to sweeping conclusions and say Mourinho is "finished", but I don't think that's true. I still don't quite understand what happened at Chelsea last season, but the two aren't linked. That was some revolt, this is different. Mourinho probably bit of more than he could chew - this United team is the worst he's coached since he started at Porto. Yeah, he's achieved great things, but also with already good teams. He hasn't had to build something from scratch since he got "big" so in that sense he's not finished, he just never started.
Anyway, moving on from that terrible team, pretty fun season it's been in multiple leagues. Some great title races, England and Spain particularly unpredictable atm. Years of underachievement make me struggle to take Spurs and Liverpool seriously but maybe I should. I do need to watch more of them (although I was psychologically scarred by that diabolical game between 'Pool and United on Monday).
Leicester to win the Champions League? yes please.
Mario Balotelli is back. Granted it's in the league where 34-year-old Zlatan was a god.
might need to make a few posts for my quarter-season thoughts...
