Aye, you're probably right (Stan knows :emoticon-0148-yes:) Tho' I do think he maybe at the stage of his career where he wants to prove he can handle a rebuild and proper development of his side, and build a real legacy. Whether he will succeed or not is another question.

He also had a quality squad to start out with. They may have only spend £10m or so more than us over Guardiola and Mourinho's first two seasons, but City were spending it on full backs and wingers as they already had De Bruyne, Aguero, Fernandinho, Kompany, Silva etc. as a strong backbone to the...

Fred has been frustrating, but he does at least have the excuse of being new to the PL. Took Vidic, Herrera, Lindelof etc a bit of time to get caught up so I think Fred deserves the same. Sanchez however has no excuse and can **** right off

That, and it's also changed the media narrative around him. Just look at Jenas mouthing off today. Before the PSG match it was: "Why does he have to beat PSG to get the job? That’s a weird kind of statement to make. Has he not [done enough already]? I feel like there has been a huge turnaround...

Same here. We'll be behind City and Liverpool for another year, but better to do it right than try and rush to the top a la Mourinho, fall short and then fall down again. After all, Klopp is now beaten Rodgers' record as the Liverpool manager who has gone longest without a trophy since joining...

Pretty sure we've never lost a two legged European tie against Barca Another record for Ole to aim for them <ok>

Against Arsenal, we looked too much like Arsenal did against Rennes. Same way they thought it would be easy in France, I think we put everything into the PSG game and were thinking ahead to Wolves and just took our eye of the ball. I don't reckon we need at least 4 points from City and Chelsea...

2007 - Liverpool lose CL final 2008 - Utd win CL 2016 - Liverpool lose EL final 2017 - United win EL 2018 - Liverpool lose CL final Just saying.....

Aye, under the current rules, no matter how bizarre, it was a pen. Problem is always how to balance consistency and common sense. The current rules give consistency, i.e. if the arm is away from the body at all it's a penalty. Obviously he wasn't trying to handle it, but as soon as you bring...

Isn't that largely subjective on their performances since he left as well? There comes a point at which all the CL titles in the world won't make up for one league title in seven seasons and getting regularly battered by their arch rivals. That was always going to bring out the rose tinted...

Don't think it's down to a media 'narrative' around Pogba. Simple fact is when a player scores and gets an assist, in a game with only two goals, they get MOTM more often than not. The media and all the 'expert' pundits rarely look past the headline stats, just check any 'team of the week' and...

They are nothing short of mental imo. It's not like there's a queue of suitors waiting to snatch him up, so what would we gain by giving him the full job now? Let him manage till the end of the season and make a call then, Mourinho has just burned us for £20m, far too early to risk making the...

Having a baby. Well, technically my wife had the baby, but I had to hear about it. Still on the fence tbh. Ole has done well so far, and is the first manager since SAF to actually understand the club. But we are still well inside the honeymoon period. Big tests coming up against Chelsea...

I still think Woodward is the easy target. He's made plenty of funds available for players of all ages and positions, not many of the players we've bought in the past five years or so can really be called 'patch repairs', except maybe Felliani and Darmian. Can we really blame him for...
