He very much is, the 2011-12 version anyway, falling off a cliff immediately after being appointed on a full time basis. Obviously Kenny didn’t come out with so much shite.

I’m really nervous about this, way more than I was at the weekend. Which really makes no sense at all. We should batter them. We win this 8 times out of 10, I trust this team but I’m dreading it.

"I once lost a European Cup final from 3-0... whatever happened there." Carmine Ancelotti there

Wait till they see his Christmas tree!

He didn’t really say that did he? If he did, that’s my favourite Ancelotti based post of yours!

Rest Hendo, play Fab. I wish there was a sensible way to rest Robbo too because he’s starting to look tired by his standards.

Imagine Ferguson’s reaction in that situation. Unless their weirdo owners show some humility it’s difficult to see how they will attract the kind of manager they desperately need. Pochettino would obviously be a big improvement but the club’s structure might hamstring some of his strengths in recruiting players. They need to appoint a genuine manager - not just a coach - who can impose a style and a vision on the club. Bielsa would be great for them, the nutter.

Mo's goal? He was in his own half.

VVD Henderson Wijnaldum

Allison, Trent, VVD, Gomez, Robertson, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Oxlade, Mane, Firmino, Salah A rest for Hendo, nobody else.

So basically we thought we might close the gap to 4th place

If we have it in the bag by then, don’t we get it at our last home game?

The timing was perfect. Moment of the season for me. Their transformation into Everton is complete. Singing shit songs about atmosphere, Heysel and the Sun, and not getting a peep of a reaction out of us. Horrible, snide, small-time entitled gobshites. Their manager is like a pissed fan plucked from the pub and he's a total coward. They have one of the most promising young strikers in the country in Greenwood, yet when Rashford is injured they play Pereira. They go one nil down and drop deeper. They looked like the only instruction they had was to run around lots. At no point in the last 15 minutes did they look like scoring. I'd go as far as to say that they are as bad now as we have been at any time in the last 30 years. They have no direction and no hope as long as those fucking weirdos still own them. Long may it continue. The added satisfaction of winning despite a shocking VAR call is the icing on the cake. We're gonna win the league.

That’s livin’ alright

Out of rep, but that's briliant.
