I also don't think a new manager will change things, the rot goes deep. JM has looked awful since his father died, but also something not right football wise. Bereavement lasts 2 years, minimum, but there is no time for that in business.

If I was a friend of Pochettino, probably the favourite at OT, I would say to him, don't touch it with a barge pole. OT is a meatgrinder, which will suck you in and spit you out.

I would have that the Real would be more tempting for him. Eddie Howe? Zidane?

Good. Can't stand the geezer. Miserable ****! Finally been found out for the fraud he is.

I reckon Blanc is favourite as caretaker, ex-player as well. Calling JM a fraud is weird.

Supposedly top a top manager, he goes on about how good he is, spent 400 million and still can't get his team to play. Definitely a fraud.

Yeah, but he's burned out. In his pomp, what was it, 8 league titles, and 2 CL. Ironically, his win percentage at MU is the 2nd highest ever. Career wins, 64.8%.

Wow, I didn't think they'd have the bottle. I guess the carnage at Anfield settled it. I will miss him in a way, but his negativity was like a black cloud.

So they are now on their fourth manager since Ferguson and, unless Solskjaer get the job permanently, come the summer they will be on their fifth. At some point you have to say, maybe it's not the manager's fault.

The Dildo Brothers finally came to their senses and gave Declan Rice a new contract till 2024. Watching the game against Southampton the other day he was awesome. He has been all season. Only 19 years old but has the head of a 30 year old. A future West Ham captain and legend.

I really thought that the Arsenal record of being the only team to go unbeaten for a season in the EPL was under threat this year.

I thought it might aswell but City are still a good team. They were bound to beat Liverpool at some point.

Bollocks! We're never going to draw Millwall.

"No-one. Literally no-one is going to win the “SPL”."

That's just nitpicking innit?

It is a bit, yes. The SPL no longer exists. It's called the Scottish Premiership now.

COYI! Good game. Could have gone either way for much of the game but we played well. High press and first to most balls. Delighted for Rice getting his first goal. He really is something special. Nasri had a good game. Also good to see Antonio and Cresswell getting into form.

Ah, the intellect of the supporter.
For those not au fait with the rivalry which verges on warfare between the towns of Auchinleck and Cumnock, the latter strip is identical to Talbot's beaten opponent, Ayr, on Saturday.
As the minutes drew to the whistle, "Eeeka Peeka, which normally graced "Cym Rhonda", became:

"You're jist Cumnock,you're jist Cumnock,
You're jist Cumnock in disguise....."
