Which bald dickhead gets fired first?

Pep or zadkid?

United fired ten hag and are only 5 points behind city

Just 1 win in 12 for City now and 0 away wins in their last 8 :joy: Great to see Haaland staying humble!

City could lose every game the rest of the year and pep still isnā€™t getting fired.

Bit hard to blame injuries as well as they only had 5 first team squad members out and only 3 of them would be guaranteed starters.

I think the issue is that Guardiola hasnā€™t refreshed their midfield. He went into this season with 4 of his 7 midfielders being the wrong side of 30 with the only player he brought in being a returning 34yo Ilkay Gundogan.
Unlike Chelsea, its not like theyā€™ve got a plethora of players out on loan that they can bring back either. Thereā€™s 2 young Argentinians (18 & 21) who are both injured and a 29yo Kalvin Phillips.

Theyā€™re not going to sack him but I think heā€™ll walk if he isnā€™t given the money to bring in 2 midfielders with Martin Zubimendi being the #1 target.

Fingers crossed they should be relegated in February anyways.

Ange is taking the piss with those tactics this morning, deserved to cop 6 and lucky not to cop 10.

Do Ange and talay share tactic ideas?

Reckon they have a little group chat sharing memes about pressing?

1 in 13 now for City, couldnā€™t even beat Everton at home after humble pie Haaland missed a pen.

Amazing that the one win was comfortable against a high-flying Forest.

United lose to wolves
Spurs get beaten again
Chelsea lose

If Liverpool beat Leicester, youā€™d think itā€™s close to being theirs already

The two VAR checks in this game are a fine example of why itā€™s being overused. Once you need to freeze frame and draw lines, fuck off and let the on field decisions stand

Canā€™t believe it took 4 whole minutes to confirm the on-field decision with the Gakpo one being ruled out. Was clear on first viewing Salah was on but Nunez (as always) was off.

Way too early to say itā€™s over. Liverpool still need to play Arsenal, Chelsea, Forest and City again plus two Merseyside derbies. Season isnā€™t even halfway done yet!

Got to jinx them somehow

Everton have sacked Dyche and got Moyes back.

I mean he will probably do a decent job but I cant see them doing that much better with the squad they have. I presume the new stadium means there is no big spending on the horizon and they donā€™t have any big talents to sell at the moment.

More sideways movement from Everton.

Ange not doing himself any favours. Took an own hoal in the 100th minute against a 5th league side before they go the win

Jeebus come on Ange. All good though if he beats Arsenal next up

As much as Iā€™m not an Ange fan, there have been plenty of EPL managers who have failed to beat fifth-tier teams before. Pretty sure even Fergie failed to do so at one point. Youā€™d think Angeā€™s style of play would be completely unsuitable on a small, narrow pitch.

As a native of Tamworth, NSW I was so hoping for Tamworth, Staffordshire to knock out spurs it would have been amazing.
