Great result playing with 10 for so long. Selhurst under lights is a great atmosphere

I'm a bit gutted I've got work Christmas drinks tonight so won't be able to watch it. Should be a decent game.Anyone looking forward to Mourinho turning over Man Utd tomorrow?
Ole looks more gormless as the weeks roll on. Was it Slime who thought he was something special?! Someone said he got sacked by Cardiff for having a 30% win ratio, yet since he's been made Man Utd manager permantley his win ratio is 24%Mourinho had 58% and even Moyes had something in the 40% range.
He's failed to beat West Ham, Bournemouth, Newcastle, Villa, Sheffield Utd and Palace this season.

Finding it an oddish season. Spurs get rid of Poch very early. The Arse dump theres very early, yet Olly at Utd who is the worst of the three is still there. ?

Emery was not dumped anywhere near early enough. Should have gone when Arsenal melted at the end of last season in my view.

That's a bit of hindsight though. To finish 5th with that squad only 2 points off third in his first season was hardly a sackable offence. I think that earned him the opportunity to build on it, but instead they declined from there hence him losing his job now.

If you look at his last 7 games last season, they were all very winnable. That was the best ryn in you could have asked for. With 7 games to go, he was 3rd in the table, with CL in his control. The melt down in the last 7 games was inexcusable, what ever squad he had. They were good enough to be 3rd with 7 to go. No hind sight, he was out of his depth at that time. It was obvious.

I accept that the malaise began then, I just think it would have been harsh to sack after one full season in which he only just missed out on Champs League that's all. Chelsea and Spurs were both poor as well to be fair, it was a question of who could limp, nay, drag their carcass over the line. Any of the three clubs could have been the one to miss out.
A little teaser for you Everton and Liverpool fans ahead of the match tonight

Emery was two wins from finishing 4th and winning the Europa League yet fans wanted him sacked! You couldn't make it up.
Unfortunately for Arsenal fans you're a 5th-8th quality side and that's where you'll finish unless theres major changes. Emery overachieved for the first two thirds of the season with that squad. In the end quality told. He did enough in his first season to be backed in the squad overhaul, IMO.
He wanted Zaha and he got a totally unproven winger on installments as they couldn't afford Zaha.
He wanted Ozil out as he's a nothing player and a bad influence on the work ethic he was trying to install. Nothing happened and Ozil remained using every excuse to avoid playing. When he does he goes through the motions.
He wanted a top centre back, instead he got a cut price Luiz because they couldn't afford anyone else.
Emery wasn't the greatest manager and I felt Rodgers at the time would've been a better fit but he didn't fail, the club failed him. Arsenal have a culture of weakness and complacency left by Wenger. They scored an equaliser at Norwich and celebrated like they'd won 4-0 at Man City......small time.
If they had any ambition they'd snap up Simone (who has reached the end of his cycle in Spain) or buy Rodgers out and back them.

I can't recall thinking he was special, a United legend without doubt, but as a manager he was largely unproven.
He's largely hamstrung by those above him.
Poch, I think he was sacked because of something going on in the background as much as because of poor results.
Emery, he should have gone well before he did.
Ole, I think he'll be gone by this time next week. Good luck to any poor bugger who takes over!
Unfortunately United have become a money club with Woodward only needing to secure good financials rather than good results.
They'll sack Ole because they won't sack themselves.
I feel a bit sorry for Ole because, as well as having to work with Woodward and the Glazers, he's also been hampered by very inopportune injuries.

Why did you have to put that link up? The thought of Hodgson alone gives me heart palpitations, never mind in a Liverpool jacket and tie ??

He actually plays into the owners and Woodward's hands because he's nothing more than a goafer for them. Smile and talk about a long term plan......a plan that's overseen by someone that can't sign players and a manager that can't coach them
Injuries are only exposing the bones because Ole let Sanchez, Lukaku, Herrara and Fellaini go without a single replacement. Even with injuries he's failed to beat Bournemouth, Aston Villa, Palace, Sheffield United, West Ham and Newcastle - losing to most of them. Even with injuries Man Utd have vastly better squads. It's excuses.

I know I mentioned Ollie, but in all honesty I thought he would be the first to go. In all honesty I think he is Rammel. But aside from Poch I don't know who could be the saviour. I have a feeling that if Poch had lost the spuds Dressing room, how could he win over the Utd one.He actually plays into the owners and Woodward's hands because he's nothing more than a goafer for them.
