I fear that Liverpool's amazing run could be coming to an end, losing Coutinho to an ankle injury I fear the worst and with the loss of Sturridge, Ings still injured, Lallana not quite there and only Origi and Firmino as a strike force it could be curtains BUT we do have some good youngsters around so maybe they can step up to the crease and go into bat for Liverpool(as it were) Have to try them out sometime.

What about Steven Gerrard? I think he might be available.

Jose Mourinho has ben charged by the FA for improper conduct, after being sent to the stands for viciously kicking a water bottle. After several hours of treatment the water bottle was pronounced unusable and sent to a recycling unit.

If found guilty JM will be taken to the Tower and beheaded for this heinous crime.

So Mourinho the so called saviour by some quarters actually has a worse record after 13 games than both LVG and Moyes. Not only that but his on field antics are making the news and backpages as much as the team.

Someone said earlier online that he is fine when his teams have momentum but when they don't he struggles to get the best out of them. It would seem to be true as at Chelsea once things got tough he couldn't turn things around. The same at United seems to be happening. The team is struggling and he cannot get that extra out of his players that Fergie for example could.

He needs to step up his game because United simply cannot afford another season outside of the CL. On current form that looks likely to be the case again and will cost them big time. Not only the CL loss of earnings but Adidas will also reduce their sponsorship payments. On current form and at this time the phrase be careful what you wish for seems apt. They wanted him, they got him and he is no better than the previous managers so far. Things will likely change but its going to take something now to finish top 4.

I would urge Man Utd to bite the bullet ~ now

Sack Jose and pay his redundancy ~ now

Get in your 'old boy', who would be much cheaper anyway.

Jose out ~ Brucie in ~ besides I don't like what he's doing at the vile

You know it makes sense

I see Pulis is going to be a little bit poorer now he has lost the case against Palace. He will have to cough up nearly £4m.

I am very happy with the work Jose Mourinho has done at Old Trafford. They knew what he was like when they made him manager, let him finish the job he's started.

Fingers crossed!

Didn't the same thing happen to Arsene Wenger when he kicked a bottle?

Oh smeg! If Phillipe Coutinho has ligament damage he could be out for five to six weeks which means unless we have get a miracle for Christmas and New Year there is no way Liverpool can keep up and may well blow another chance for a title shot-ONE day that bloody title will be Liverpool's, oh yes, ONE day it will be ours! I just hope I am alive to see it
