    As ours were.....strange how things have looked up immediately that man left, despite his weird brief reemergence on our board.

    It wasn't long ago that Chelsea were backed into corner with no option but to make Di Matteo their permanent manager, after somehow winning the CL with them. That lasted all of what, three months?

    Think he'd have to win the FA Cup and reach semis of CL to even be in with a shot tbh.

    To be fair though if we thought not keeping Hughes on would have been unpopular then with OGS it'd be a whole different kettle of fish...

    I will never not enjoy OGS' hybrid Norwegian/Mancunian accent.

    Just realised that that substantial win for United means we are going to get an angry lecture from Gary Neville about professionalism. <doh>

    It comes in waves, sometimes it’s pure Manc, and sometimes it’s Norse.

    Yeah, that's what makes it brilliant. We have a large Acadian population here, and most of them are fully bilingual...to the point where I've listened to conversations between two people I worked with where they randomly shifted between French and English and back again, because they grabbed a word from one language first and continued on. OGS is like that, but with accents and football cliches.

    Strange, I am sure the bought said when they appointed him he matched the attacking philosophies of the club. I now suspect the homework should be a C-

    Adding what’s probably been said; Townsend’s goal will be goal of the season. Unbelievable strike

    We also said that Pellegrino, a manager who had made his name by dragging Alaves to midtable through being effective but miserably boring and defensive, was the man who would bring pressing, attacking football back.

    We said and did some rather strange things in the Reed era.

    Almost like Reed was more interested in his own benefit than that of the club...

    I'm amazed we have 11 players every week - forget Liverpool, there are 5 ex-saints in the Everton / Tottenham squads today.

    Ok, I hate the tossers for plundering our club in recent seasons and van Dijk for being a dickhead, but flair play; this is class

    All that money spent by Everton (including on Sam's pay-off), and it looks like they'll be spending Xmas Day in the bottom half, just three points ahead of Brighton.

    Great game this, mind.

    Only seven goals so far. Come on, we want ten.

    Blimey, spurs don't half take it personally when you score first against them.

    Poch not half taking it personally when Ole gets five goals as part of his audition for the Utd job.

    That Everton v Tottenham score is insane!! It just shows the gulf between the top 6 and the rest.
