>Manchester United plucked "the roundest and juiciest orange from the top of the tree" by beating their rivals to sign Alexis Sanchez, says Jose Mourinho.
>Sanchez agreed a deal worth £14m a year after tax to move from Arsenal, having been linked with Manchester City.
>"You like the ones at the top. They are so nice and so orange and so round and so full of juice," said Mourinho.
>"When you see a tree with amazing oranges at the top of the tree and then you cannot get there and you say, 'I got the lower ones because I don't like the ones at the top'.
>"But you can't get there, so you say 'I don't want to go there' or 'I prefer the other ones'. I think it reminds me a little bit of that story."
Julian Allen
Haha yeah, Man City BTFO. They're only on track to win 4 trophies this season.
Alexander Anderson
He spent $14m to make this joke about a team that's 20 points clear ahead of him all the competitions
Samuel Rogers
>20 points ahead in the FA Cup
Xavier Foster
Not even that far ahead in the only competition that actually uses points, welcome to football threads though, let us know what you think when you’ve watched your first game! :)
Owen Rogers
$$$$Chez
Jayden King
I'm going to laugh when mouyes and the manures realize signing alexshits gets you closer to arselel than city
David Parker
Haha yeah not far ahead, just 12 points, which will be easy to claw back, on account of how City have been losing games left right and centre this season
Haha yeah you're right, utd are better than City and definitely have a chance of catching them
Haha yeah

William Wilson
Sanchez is City's sloppy seconds though. They rejected him at the last minute when his agent was being a Jew. Mouyes is being cringey af
Elijah Baker
i like oranges desu
Jordan Gonzalez
>Mourinho boiling more ABU piss No news here
Oliver Barnes
Sounds like he wants to get sloppy with those seconds t b h
Wyatt Parker
When it comes to football Pep is sat at the top of the orange tree gorging on its juicy fruit while mouyes gnaws on the bark below

>12 points >Still have to play United so that's down to 9 >Still have to play Liverpool, Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea again >Likely to drop at least 3 points so it's down to 6 >Still have to play all the mickey mouse teams who are fighting for their lives in relegation scraps >Will be playing CL games mid-week, league cup and FA cup games as players get injured, tired and suspended
If you think the league title is over, wow. Just wow. It's like you've never watched the PL before.
Man United were at the same points difference (12) against Newcastle 22 years ago and they still won the league.
They've also been 18 points behind at Christmas and still won it.
People forget that when City won the league with that AGUEROOOOO goal, that they were 10 points clear with only 8 games to go and THEY STILL SOMEHOW FUCKED IT UP and ended up needing a last minute goal to snatch it in the last seconds. Pretty pathetic, but let's not get in the way of a 'fairy tale' season, amirite?
City are favourites but the league is far from over. Teams are starting to figure them out.
Levi Lee
Whereas united are going to win all of their games lmao
Eli Scott
I think he is celebrating getting Alexis too much. It is really disrespectful. Pepe should punch him for it.
Jace Powell
Didn't say they would. It's not outwith the realms of possibility that United will drop 6 points and City will drop 19.
Anything can happen. It's stupid to write the season off when we're only a little over half-way through and only starting to get into the 'business' end of the season.
Pep could have a meltdown and the players lose confidence - draw or lose 5 in a row. Aguero or KdB could get a season ending injury.
Something happens every season. Lots of twists and turns.
If you doubt this, it must be your first season watching football lad.
Henry Smith
City is going to buttrape you 6-1 like in the fairy tale season
Colton Wood
Why didn't they at Old Trafford then when we were missing our best player?
United outplayed them and City scored two lucky goals courtesy of two stupid Lukaku clearances. Pure luck.
Full strength United with Pogba and Sanchez wins that game 9 times out of 10.
Camden Wilson
I thought De Bruyne was the best player in the League though (the player Mourinho sold).
Easton Harris
>I thought De Bruyne was the best player in the League
Michael Hall
you thought wrong
martial sanchez pogba de gea
all comfortably better players
lukaku rashford matic
about on a par with him
Dylan Adams
>mouyes on full meltdown Loving this episode tßh
Jack Miller
klopp with get at least 3 points off pep with his meme pressing, but is likely to give united points due to being allergic to defensive teams so that's an easy 6 point swing
Henry Gomez
i don't get it
Bentley Collins
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA fucking kek >Utd beating City >Utd bettering City's from now until the end of the season Fucking love yanited fans, their delusion and arrogance will never end
Jonathan Robinson
>United will drop 6 points and City will drop 19 pmsl. United sign a 30 year old winger who wouldn't get into City's starting XI and all their fans think it's the 90s again. City will win the league by 15+ points you salty proto-scouser
Bentley Anderson
fucking lol you are too much mate. Everything you believe is a lie
Ayden Stewart
'Tis but a trolle!
Leo Foster
>United outplayed them No, >we were shit. Their goals were lucky but >we were still shit
Ryan Young
You retarded? City and Liverpool have already played twice
Nolan Morris
City will drop more points. 100%. But they will not be caught this year without a major injury to De Bruyne or Fernandinho.
United are stronger with sanchez and will win those couple of draws that shouldn't happen (but usually end up happening).
Top 6 should be:
City United Liverpool Chelsea Arsenal Tottenham (and so long to Kane)
Isaiah Turner
holy shit mou actually extended his contract. we are entering uncharted mou territory. just how bad will things get?
