He's not being applauded, he's rightly being criticized for not getting the best out a team full of great players. What I was raising a point of discussion around was not that, it's that Potter is being praised for something OGS did better, which in turn is being used as a stick to beat him with. Those two viewpoints doesn't add up if held at the same time. You can't praise Potter for his "amazing job in Sweden" and bash OGS for his "time dominating in a tinpot league" at the same time.

His record at Man Utd is the third best in their history. I'm not even defending OGS, I fully believe Man Utd could get a better manager. I'm just pointing out the shithousery of the arguments given when there's decent actual arguments against him being in the job.

It's a comment on how people are discounting what OGS did in Norwaty, taking a team that's never won the league in their history to becoming the powerhouse in the country for a decade. It's like if Dundee had dethroned Celtic. Finished top of their league in the EL ahead of Celtic, Fenerbache and Ajax. If you praise Potter as being a good manager for his Swedish record, you should do the same for OGS. That's the argument. You can't praise one manager for his feats in a "shit tier" league and trash the other when that person's feats objectively are better. Not saying OGS should have been given the Man Utd gig at all based on his record. Just that people praising Potter are victims of a stupid double standard.

Both made their bones in the Scandinavian league with no-mark clubs, one brought them trophies and European nights and has the third best win ratio of Man Utd managers in their history - the other has had a few good games with Brighton and did well in the Swedish league and is one of two managers in history to hold a lower win percentage in the PL than Steve Bruce

1) Pep Guardiola 2) Marcelo Bielsa 3) Jurgen Klopp 4) Thomas Tuchel 5) Antonio Conte 6) Rafa Benitez 7) Eddie Howe 8) Claudio Ranieri 9) OGS 10) Brendan Rodgers 11) Patrick Viera 12) David Moyes 13) Mikel Arteta 14) Thomas Frank 15) Ralph Hasenhuttel 16) Graham Potter 17) Bruno Lage 18) Sean Dyche

Sheffield United is already owned by the House of Saud, though. If there's any club in the English pyramid who'd be open to business with us it would be them.

They're my "local" (by Norwegian standards) team, what even how is this

bldjksdhsdjds how can this team do this

He's really leaning into being Italian with that catchphrase tbh

I want to watch us be attacking, so for that reason alone I'm happier with Howe than Emery. That said, I've never been sold on Emery even before we almost got him. I was hoping for a "bigger" name as a statement of intent, but Howe plays entertaining football and is a likable guy. Who knows what the future holds, he might stay here for the next 20 odd years and this was the beginning of a dynasty.

What a fucking strike

fUCK Off what is this magic

GLIIIIIIIIMTTTTtttttT

Bit underwhelmed, but I don't mind Howe in the grand scheme of things.

No matter what it will be a dumb move by Emery if he doesn't turn things around at Villareal quickly. They've been shit this season.

We ran a threadbare ship, he's one of the few people with intimate knowledge of how NUFC the business was ran. Him staying on for a good chunk of time during the transitional period was kind of inevitable.

Emery's not done very well in the league with Villareal though, or am I mistaken?

Not to say Manorpark knew factually or not, but you are doing the very same thing you are complaining about here. Saying something is fact when you have no idea of actually knowing if Manorpark knew or not. Some people will have known for a variety of reasons. Not really adding anything to whatever the discussion was, just wanted to point that out.

Don't forget it will be sprinkled with insisting intercourse with cousins is not illegal in some states.

I sincerely hope the racist gammon without any football knowledge is not an actual supporter of Newcastle United.

I remember getting tons of threatening DMs from fans of other clubs as a 16 year old having written for the "Who the Fuck are..." section Happy to participate here as well with written content. Can also help run socials and could participate in a podcast (but wouldn't have the time/capacity to produce one).

The most disturbing fact about the Scholes thing is that, in the mind of his daughter, that is not cringe-worthy to put on social media. In her mind, her friends, family or strangers seeing that would not react to it? That is what disturbs me. It makes it seem like a regular normal thing between them.

Why would he black out publicly available information (flightradar) if this was not bullshit?

No need to with multi-account users. Happy to discuss with others.

Didn't know we still allowed multiple accounts, yet here Joey Linton still is.
