Terribly short sighted. Ranieri remains the right manager whether they are in the PL or Championship. Players should vote with their feet and abandon the club's exective management.

They did, they walked into the clubs executive management offices and told them to replace the manager.
Sadly, the biggest driving factor in the EPL is the fear of relegation from the Golden goose....

Really ?
seems to be insinuated in a few papers this morning according to R4's interview with Gary Lineker.
Also an interesting insight, that by scapegoating the manager the players feel they have an excuse for why they've been so shit this year. Totally failing to respect that once over the line it's in their hands mainly. Strange business; not many industries where the workers essentially control the hiring and firing of the boss. Made ferguson unique, and credit must go to the Man U board for that, that if A Star got too big for Ferguson's liking the star would go before anyone considered firing the boss.
Very odd timing why didn't that at least wait till they were out of CL. Hope they go down now.
Usually one player does not make a difference but losing Kante and not replacing him seemed to be a disaster
They did and spent quite a bit on a few other players as well.

I think thats why they did do it now, may get a 1-0 home win (in CL) then it's another month or so before they can sack him.
Great game of football and Zlatan is some player- carrying the team really bt we still have no one who can beat a man and run with the ball - MickyT aside
That said I feel very sorry for southampton as they had a disallowed goal and were the far superior side with pretty much all the Man U goals being against the run of play and 4-1 to them was probably a fairer result than us winning
If there is really a premiership team over the past few years that deserve a trophy it is Southampton, they have been running the club in the right way, recovering from big losses of managers and players, mainly playing some decent and entertaining football, and not talking bollocks about there being some mythical Southampton "way" ideal they are meant to live up to.
I really feel for them, I wonder how many more times they can bounce back from losing their best players, they may not get another chance for silverware for a long time.

I'll pass the message on to Mr Thomas the next time I see him. 😉
I never had you down as the sort of person who was in and out of prison but thanks 😉
He's a good lad now.
Agree MSP an they played very well and I think Man U were pretty average tbh but just kept scoring goals when they never really worked for them/deserved them
Aye southampton eem to sell everyone from managers to players and yet still keep going and staying as strong
Got to say I have really warmed to Zlatan this year, but if I was a united fan I would be worried how his inclusion might be damaging the development of that youthful front line. It's not even his inclusion, its a reliance by and setting the team to play to suit him, rather than fitting him in to the direction those really good young players needs to develop to become the next united team capable of challenging for the league and the champions league.
Jose becomes the first ever United manager to win a trophy in his maiden season.
No worries with Zlatan blocking youth - people said the same of Cantona. He set a big example in the way he trained/being a top pro etc. Beckham in particular took that on. It sounds like he is having a similar impact in the dressing room and won't be around for years. He was also a catalyst for success.....
Yes - outplayed but I'd half expected that - United away in Europe in the week and the saints having a fortnight prep. It was clear saints had far more energy. I've also lost count of United outplaying teams this season and coming away with a point. What goes around and all that.
The last thing we want or need is another Cantona! I mean... who'd want that?
I was quite surprised today. I'd called it as a mind numbingly tedious nil nil, with extra time, then penalties
Ah! Leicester have shown up. Funny that - bunch of frauds 😕
well I never
Not just JY who is Lazarus!
They looked like the Leicester of last season. Liverpools defence look like they've looked for the last god-knows-how-many seasons.
I had a feeling that was going to happen so I had a punt on a Leicester win and Vardy as first goal-scorer 😀

good after timing
It's always worth betting against Liverpool when they're playing a side near the bottom
I have to admit I am dissapointed as Leicesters owners will be convinced they did the right thing in sadking Ranieri

Very true binners - I wouldn't be surprised if they thump Arsenal at the weekend.
That's a safe bet too. Though I'll be hoping for a draw
Woy going to Leicester apparently.
I can see that lasting a long time and being very successful. I do wonder what on earth some clubs are thinking when they're sacking and appointing managers
A Woy for Ranieri switch. What a mad world we live in.
15 years ago today the greatest goal of all time was scored

You need to watch Archie Gemmell's goal v Holland mate. Genius, especially considering he looks more like a painter and decorator....
seen it, I like trainspotting too. not as good 😀
No beer - I can remember that and cheering like crazy. I was supposed to be doing homework!!
Almost as good as Giggsie's wonder goal against... who was it again?
Or Mickey thomas's free kick for Wrexham... Against who?
free kicks can never be included in best goals of all time. same as volleys .
gigg's was insane though yes agreed.

🙂 plus the fact it was Scotland against Holland, pretty special.
Best goal I ever saw was Bergkamp against England, Rudd Hulllett pass and volleyed over Shilton. Only a friendly though ..
Well I put my usual daft little bets on the match. My 50p on another 5-1 at 70/1 is looking dodgy as they look like they could ship a couple more.
Please don't score any more Bayern
EDIT: cheers gooners! 35 quid up! 😀
that was embarrassing ! 10-2 on aggregate if Arsene had any honor he would fall on his sword.
10 - 2 !?
Shirley time for AW to go?....
As a Spurs fan Wenger has done a terrific job and deserves upmost respect. 10-2 is embarrasing but the tie was lost away from home anyway.
He didn't go when we put 8 past 'em in 90 minutes.
Got to be worth a few quid on Lincoln on Saturday 😀
denial denial denial
Barca v PSG. 😯
Bet someone had money on Barca going through!!
Football. Bloody Hell.
Blimey, just seen the score !
