Aubameyang's second for the arse today, belter!

[Anubis]

Match of the Day showing that we had far more chances than Everton. And no criticism for Klopp. Redshite BBC.

Redshite bias again.

Just looking at the league table, even this early in the season, there's 8 points from first to fifth, then another 8 point gap to sixth.

Top 5 are miles ahead of rest.

 

Only points top 5 are really dropping is in games v each other.

 

There will be the odd exception but the top 5 are miles ahead of rest and there have been/will be very few slip ups.

[Red_or_Dead]

Useless sacked by Southampton.  They took their time!

I like the fact that a home draw against Man Utd is now a poor enough result to serve as the final straw for a struggling manager. Long may it continue.

[Anubis]

Ready made Bloo replacement when Silva goes.....

[Trumo]

What a shock that is. Which club will be next to hire him and his aura of abject misery?

Fulham. EDIT - hang on, haven't they just changed manager. Maybe Burnley then, when we get Dyche sacked on Wednesday..

Manchester United hopefully.

Hughes has probably made more money from being a failure as a manager than he has from his successes as a player. Not a bad gig if you can get it.

Burnley will go for Fat Sam won't they? Already have a completely shite squad based around getting stuck in, launching it forward to the big man and "competing". Should be a great match for him.

I guess drawing at home to Utd was always going to be the final straw..

 

The Mark Hughes managerial masterclass coming to another club soon...

To be fair he did ok with Blackburn. Not much down for him these days

I was going to make a trite observation about him consistently failing upwards, but if you actually look at it it's not that bad especially given the teams he at, it's really only the very poor spell at Southampton following on from his poor form at Stoke at the end that indicate he could be a busted flush.

 

QPR when he was managing them were relegation cloggers and a farce at boardroom level so I'm not too surprised he didn't do well there.

 

People talk about him as if he is the worst manager of all time when he is mediocre to poor.  I think the level of coaching ability in the premier league now feels seriously high, especially  comparatively with previous era's around the mid table and lower reaches when you consider people like Rafa at Newcastle, Rudi Garcia at Watford, Mourinho at Manchester United and Pellegrini at West Ham which makes plodders like Hughes look even worse.

Love the way Southampton put up with his shit for ages then just went.

 

"A draw a fucking draw at home to Utd. Fuck this Mark you've gone to far now"

Looks like Modric has won the ballon d'or. Well deserved. First human to win it since Kaka in 07.

It's bollocks

No issue him winning it but Mo in 5th behind Messi, Ronaldo is bollocks. The year he had was superb. May aswell just call it the World Cup award in them years. Even fucking Pogba got 15th

[TheHowieLama]

I have a lot of respect for Modric

Yep. Cracking player and seems to have a bit of decency about himself as well. Unlike most real madrid players.
