If I fell …
The unconditional reversal of loyalty of Jose Mourinho to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer of The sunNeil Custis was really something to see.
This has never been more evident than in his reaction to the release of Manchester United's Marouane Fellaini in China, which he describes as "worthy of celebration," as well as the new contract with Anthony Martial.
"The decisions showed the direction in which Ole Gunar Solskjaer wants Manchester United to go, and yes, although he is just acting manager, he will have been consulted on the decisions.
"His philosophy meant that instead of standing up to the big man, he wanted it to the big fast man – Fellaini just did not fit.
"The fact that he played 177 games with the club shows how much he has gone astray under the three leaders since the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson."
Lost his way? But Custis continued Sunday supplement in August, claiming that Mourinho did an excellent job at Manchester United and "made them relevant again". He said that any criticism of the Portuguese was "far worse than anything I think he's done to Man Utd".
And a month laterCustis spoke of Mourinho's use of Fellaini in a game against Burnley as a "master stroke". A real master stroke.
"The Belgian has always felt uncomfortable with the firefighter label.He thinks his game is more than that.
"It's clear that Jose Mourinho is also doing that, which is why he fought so hard to keep Fellaini at the club after the end of his contract at the end of last season.
"Many Manchester United fans would have been happy to see him come back.
"But Fellaini has a habit of bouncing back and proving that people are wrong in his five years at United, and he's ready to do it again."
From a "master stroke" to a sign of the path traveled by the club in only five months. Oh Neil. Is there no spit you would not lick?
Mediawatch rewinds
Neil Custis, The sun, On November 22, we tried to convince ourselves that Jose Mourinho's Manchester United was not a shit at all:
"Nobody should judge his team in a match against this team in the city, they are so much better than others.
'The top of the table suggests that there is still a title race.
"There is not really, the city will have won this victory of about ten points in May, nothing can stop them."
Are you okay if Newcastle is judged in a match against this team in the city, Neil?
The shop of someone else
According to the UEFA report, the payroll in Tottenham amounts to 148 million euros.
Thus, you could double the salary of every Tottenham player, they could sign seven new players with £ 100,000 per week and they would still have a lower payroll than Manchester City.
That's why Pochettino is congratulated.

"As noted" is simply excellent Lipton. And when we say excellent, we mean … [redacted].
Who is Sarri now?
Mediawatch removes its ceiling at The sun really excellent title at the end of "Sarri seems to be the most difficult word". But cap remains firmly on the head when we look at the Daily Mirror"The title of the last page, really puzzling, of" Sarri seems to be the hardest word. "What did they think shivering with this plural? This is not the correct name of the song and it has no grammatical meaning, you do not know how angry it was.
The Sun returns to his title with a 'THIS IS A BAD, BAD SITUATION', but it gets more and more absurd while Neil Ashton and Andrew Dillon team up to write a hatched job on Maurizio Sarri in which all logic is discounted.
The essence of the story on the last page is that Sarri told his players "He will not be moved". Come back to us when he says that he will be moved, guys.
The pair – although we suspected that Ashton's hand is on the bar here – then write that "N'Golo Kante's position is wide, Jorginho's continuous selection and Gary Cahill's informal hat were openly discussed. at a higher level ".
First, Kante does not play clearly off. As Dillon himself notes on the opposite page, Kante was moved "to a more offensive role right from midfielder three". Think Ander Herrera. Do not think Nani.
With respect to Jorginho, we believe that Sarri could argue that the club that sells these Cesc Fabregas and does not provide a replacement could be a contributing factor.
And the Cahill line just made us laugh. Only Manchester City and Liverpool have a better defensive record than Chelsea this season; We do not think that Ashton's mate, Cahill, is the problem here. And we'll be stunned if Chelsea's leaders say "well, we're in the cup final, two other cup competitions and looking for Champions League places, but what the heck is it to Gary Cahill?"
Sarri, not Sarri
Keep this title in mind on the last page of The sun then read this from one Sun online Exclusive published Friday morning about a conversation between Sarri and a fan of Chelsea off the ground in Bournemouth:
"But Sarri showed his clbad by facing the inquisition and listening to what the disgruntled fans had to say.
"And then he apologized sincerely, apologizing several times before shaking hands and leaving on good terms."
It does not sound this difficult.
Comic
Of The sun: "In the locker room survey 50 minutes after the shameful 4-0 defeat at Bournemouth …"
Of Daily Mirror"The Blues boss was surprised by Wednesday night's 4-0 defeat at Bournemouth and locked his team in the locker room for an hour after the match."
Oh and we suspect he does not have Actually lock them. Because it would be a criminal offense.
I want to start something
Sorry / Sarri to work this but Andrew Dillon made a point in The sun comparing Chelsea boss to his Premier League rivals, writing that "all around Sarri, leading the Premier League, Chelsea rivals have an alternative when things get complicated".
He then quotes Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola as examples. It should be noted – unless you work for The Sun – that Sarri scored eight more points than Klopp in his first 24 games, and only two points behind Guardiola. He is also doing better than Mauricio Pochettino at the same time and is currently tied with Unai Emery. It's almost like management takes time.
Oh, and he's still in three cup competitions.
What an absolute disaster.
Question of the day
"Is Sarri a genius or a myth?" – Martin Samuel, Daily mail.
Uh, probably neither one nor the other.
