god var has been slow tonight

oh that was sensational stuff

really can't afford to lose either group is really tight

Varane crocked again

oof horrible by de gea

Also I would like to know what did OGS offer to the devil to get the kind of luck he gets, any time he's looking in trouble oh look they try for 5 minutes and keep him in a job, lose 5-0 to your biggest rivals somehow don't lose your job and the obvious replacement goes to Spurs instead.

probably after their CL game tonight if it's happening.

it'll end horribly alright, hell jan should be entertaining as Conte will want signings (he always does) and Levy doesn't like spending money

it's an odd time for him to choose to go into it, the current problems would test the very best managers let alone a relative novice. But I suppose with the exception of Guardiola himself no one else is likely to get more patience and time from the supporters unless he makes a complete balls of it and is threatening to relegate them

that can't be right

it was kind of ludicrous OGS got the job even on an interim basis in the first place tbh, fair enough once he was in the job and did well enough to earn a chance

Ole's at the Wheel!

didn't howe get homesick at Burnley? hard to see him venturing too far away from the south coast again if he can help it

the fact it even had to be said is what annoys me

theres not saying anything negative and what ASM said

got to admit, nice last piece of fuck you all by Ashley

simpler to get someone in who's available right away rather than having to agree compensation with a club to get someone

regardless of whether sacking Bruce is the right decision to brief to the media basically: "lol he sacked before Spurs" without having everything ready to go was a stupid idea rather than some non committal line like going to make a full assessment of the club etc etc then sack him when your ready

officially I don't think they can but most do anyway via agents or whatever, see how quickly clubs generally have a replacement on hand when they sack someone mid season. Different post season as you aren't under pressure to get someone in so can do a more extensive search

to say I'm fairly conflicted on this would be putting it mildly, fact is as unpleasant a person and bad an owner Ashley is and was he pales into insignificance in comparison to the current regime in Saudi Arabia. They are probably the most evil regime on Earth right now tbh or at least in the conversation for it and to have NUFC associated with them is troubling to say the least. Now this goes well beyond football as the fact that most Western Democracy's buddy up to KSA and sell them weapons they use vs Yemen is disgusting. Quite how its permitted for the likes of them (or any state) to buy a football club in the first place is beyond me and quite how the Premier League have come to the conclusion that the Saudi state will have no influence on PIF or the running of NUFC is an impressive piece of mental gymnastics.

there is a big difference between a local guy buying the club he supports and pouring money into the club to win things and whats happening with nufc

its fairly simple stuff for new owners to get fans onside by finding random roles for club legends ashley's ultimate mistake was giving keegan the manager job rather than honorary president or non executive board member or something if it was anyone else in the job at the time and the same events happen is there anything resembling the kind of complete break in the relationship between him and the fans?

why did Belgium go for Martinez in the first place, he was hardly a top calibre manager when they hired him

that was enjoyable

what a finish!
