MANCHESTER, England -- Jose Mourinho has cut an unhappy figure during Manchester Uniteds first wobble in his time at Old Trafford.The smile has gone. The answers in interviews are getting shorter. His list of targets for criticism is getting longer. He is even starting to feel sorry for himself.The worst manager in the history of football, Mourinho said of himself, sarcastically, on Friday.Three losses in nine days led to widespread criticism of Mourinhos management style and the makeup of his United team. Beating third-tier club Northampton in the English League Cup on Wednesday gave Mourinho some brief respite, but there will be more scrutiny if United loses at home to Leicester in the Premier League on Saturday.Mourinho won his first four games in charge of United but the honeymoon period is over. He has been typically outspoken in railing against refereeing decisions, those he described as Einsteins in the media, and against even his own players on occasion over the past two weeks.Mourinho insisted Friday he was upset with nothing and was a lucky guy, saying his only gripe was what he perceived as unfair criticism of his players from outsiders.I should protect them, I would love to protect them, (but) I cant, Mourinho said. It is something that is completely out of my control.But with me, its fine and with the Einsteins its fine, he added. They can speak, they can write, they can criticize the work of other people, but I am a good man.Yet, it was Mourinho who was criticizing United players Luke Shaw, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Jesse Lingard after poor performances or individual mistakes during recent matches. Mourinho was the same with some of his Chelsea players during his second spell at Stamford Bridge.One player he continues to support is captain Wayne Rooney, who has taken the brunt of criticism during Uniteds poor run.Mourinho said he believes there is a direct correlation between Rooneys slump in form and some criticism Englands record goal scorer received after his performance in Englands 1-0 win over Slovakia in World Cup qualifying on Sept. 4.Honestly, I think there was a Wayne before the Slovakia-England and a Wayne after Slovakia-England, Mourinho said, adding that he in no way held England manager Sam Allardyce responsible for any loss of form.I am not blaming Sam, not at all. I am blaming the people who, after the England-Slovakia were, in my opinion, too strong with somebody that is a very important player in the history of English football, Mourinho said. I think it was too much. But I still think, a big boy like he is, he has to face it in a strong way.Mourinhos comments came a day after Rooney said he wasnt affected by the disparaging remarks made about him.Ive had that my whole career, Rooney said, a little bit more of late, I think, but thats football. I listen to my coaches and my teammates, the people around me, and I dont really listen to what a lot of people out there are saying because a lot of it is rubbish.Mourinho has a big call to make on Rooney, who was the only first-team regular to play the full 90 minutes against Northampton. That means he might be left out for a match against Leicester that comes less than 72 hours later.Mourinho said Anthony Martial will miss the Leicester game because of calf and ankle problems sustained in the 3-1 loss at Watford on Sunday.

The world No 1 recorded the highest average in a televised match on night four of the Premier League, ending with 124.3 in his 7-1 win over Michael Smith in Aberdeen.Van Gerwens mark could have been even better as he missed match darts while on an average of 136.

Hes hit a treble each and every time hes gone to the board, said Mardle. Its just one of those nights and one of those games, one of those performances which we may never see the like again.Weve only ever seen that once. Once have we seen over a 120 average - and that was it. It was just an absolutely mind-boggling performance. Like Michael said, he knows he can get better. He can hhit a 136 average, because he had a chance at it.dddddddddddd Wayne Mardle It could have been a hell of a lot better. It would have been roughly 136 if that 36 goes in, and the last leg he messed up the 50. Look, it was just one of those games that I could watch time and time again.Like Michael said, he knows he can get better. He can hit a 136 average, because he had a chance at it.
