Sanchez don't give a toss as long as he gets the coin.

He was complaining of a team doing it against Chelsea when he was manager there. No one in England had ever heard of the phrase before but it quickly became a common quote. All these years later, he's manager of Manchester United and he's becoming known for mass bus parking himself.

*edit* After some quick googling, my hunch was correct and he actually used the phrase way back in 2004 after a match against Tottenham as Chelsea manager.

"Tottenham might as well have put the team bus in front of their goal," Mourinho said. "Sometimes when you are a big club, a very small club comes to your stadium. Tottenham got a point they shouldn't."

"As we say in Portugal, they brought the bus and they left the bus in front of the goal."

"I would have been frustrated if I had been a supporter who paid £50 to watch this game because Spurs came to defend."

"I'm really frustrated because there was only one team looking to win, they only came not to concede - it's not fair for the football we played."

*2nd edit* Here's the BBC link to the game I'm referring to: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/c/chelsea/3665180.stm


Is it my memory playing tricks or did he also say it about us when we beat him in his first season?

Just saw MoTD. Dele Alli is a petulant bastard of a player.
Although I don’t mind him kicking Sanchez.
There is nothing mistimed about what he does. He just decides to lash out and is lucky again not to get a red. I suppose the fact that he wasn’t out of control keeps it a yellow. He was very much in control of the kick he gave him.

2-0.

It was an absolute beauty as well


Just seen both Spurs goals. Hilarious. Jones' was a true classic. I bet Lukaku wishes he could finish like that.

I think you're being unfair to Lukaku. He's also lethal in United's penalty area :lol:

The SCUM's propaganda unit are now trying to claim that Fellaini's cameo performance was curtailed after only seven brief minutes, because of an injury.

Mourinho has claimed "he had something in his knee"............

It was probably his elbow, as it gets everywhere else.
