Bread and butter team on Saturday which I somehow feel will be pivotal for Vince and maybe the team as a whole. Lose it and then lose to City won't be good for morale.

Gary Neville's claiming that there's someone within Man Utd's dressing room leaking information to the press.
He believes that they have an inside man, who's already disillusioned with Mourinho.
Can't think who that might be. Now here's a totally irrelevant picture:

Fair play to the unnamed player. He looks much fitter than he has recently. Looks like the latest round of hair plugs aren't taking, though, for some reason.

Updated odds on the first manager to be sacked this season
2/1 - Mark Hughes
3/1 - Francesco Guidolin
6/1 - Tony Pulis
12/1 - Slaven Bilic
14/1 - David Moyes
16/1 - Alan Pardew
25/1 - Aitor Karanka
33/1 - Claude Puel, Walter Mazzari
40/1 - Arsene Wenger, Eddie Howe, Sean Dyche,
50/1 - Jose Moronho, Mike Phelan
66/1 - Claudio Ranieri
80/1 - Antonio Conte, Mauricio Pochettino, Ronald Koeman
100/1 - Jurgen Klopp
125/1 - Pep Guardiola

No, it's not a typo that Conte has the same odds as Poch or Koeman. It should be, but it's not.

Wenger should be 1000/1. It seems the Arsenal board have exactly zero expectations from him, so he cannot really fail. The waste of resources from him would have meant the sack anywhere else, but luckily for him the Arsenal board don't seem to care.

It's not a great sign that my first thought was, "2/1 for Hughes? That's not bad, is it".
The odds don't normally dip that low before a manager gets the boot.

I've no idea why Swansea felt the need to give Guidolin was given a new contract in the summer, to be honest.
The club made some decent signings in the summer, but he's done nothing to impress me at all.

Both of those managers could easily be shown the door with one or two more bad results.
If West Brom were to nick a win at the Britannia on Saturday, then you'd be surprised if Hughes lasted the week.
 
Poch is 80/1? Awful odds. Should be 8000/1. How Ranieri isn't similar either is crazy, Leicester could go through a relegation spiral and end up in League 1 or 2 and I'd still be surprised if they sacked him after what he's done for them.

Random question as you lot had 2 trips to the San Siro fairly recently, did anyone on here go? And if so where abouts did you drink/congregate?

Thanks in advance <ok>

I didn't, but they put on a booze ban in 2013, IIRC.
Irish bars and no club colours are the rules of the day, from what I've heard.

Good point I forgot about '13 <doh>

Will be pretty gutted if there is a booze ban tbh. So will 8,000 other Saints! When there's a will there's a way though <ok>

It was because it was us, specifically. Lazio fans attacked us earlier in the same season.
Can't think why...
