Ageing Arsenal facing a bleak future without Sanchez & Ozil. (Well they have reached a semi final.We weren't interested(?)

Lukukoo has found his scoring touch. (When?)
 
The peperoni man is right. City have been second best to Man U since the war,pretty much....and every dog has it's day (they say!)
 
Mark Hughes has claimed that he's not on the verge of the sack and that the media are just embellishing rumours.
So, who do you think's going to get the Stoke job as a Christmas present, then?
 
Clement sacked by Swansea.

Come in Tony Pulis ?
Not in the running, apparently. I'm quite surprised by that, but it kind of makes sense.
Swansea's managers have played a similar style of open, attractive football for quite a number of years. Pulis is not going to do that.
Frank de Boer and Bilic are the current favourites and I'd understand the former, even though his past couple of jobs have been disasters.
It would be a tall order for him to get Swansea playing good football and keep them up too, though.
 
I understand that Swansea are bottom and have had to do something, as they aren’t getting the results.
But was Paul clement really doing that bad a job? They are hardly adrift at the bottom, and they’ve looked like quite a decent side from what I’ve seen of them this season, but just lack 2 or 3 quality players that would make the difference.
I don’t know who is going to come in and get much more out of that squad.

8 defeats in the last 10 games will get most chairmen twitchy in this day and age. They probably looked at other clubs who have been struggling and seen what impact a change of manager has achieved.

The fact that Paul Clement comes across as an arrogant dick wouldn't have helped him.

Yeah that’s completely understandable.
But to get much more out of that squad will take a miracle, and finding the right person to do it could be very difficult. There’s not a lot to choose from, and January could see players like Mawson get picked off. Worrying times ahead for Swans fans.
 
2-2. Now. Not sure how Liverpool are drawing this. Should have had at least 4 or 5 so far.
