Nope, Haaland.

Thank you. Surprised Brian only got one as I remember us being mainly good under him.

It illustrates that we’ve hardly been blessed by good managers.

Yeah, when you think about it, less than one 'Manager of the Month' award every 3 seasons ... it isn't great for *any* club that's been mostly top half in that time.

It smells of hard work, sweat and endeavour. An unrelenting will to win. To constantly improve. That however good we are we can always get better somewhere. So yeh, it smells magnificent.

I doubt he's fussy about his shampoo or hair gel. Man makes an effort with personal grooming but he's got bigger things on his mind.

Nah, he’s meticulous. As he is with everything else. Probably obsesses over the brand and ingredients on the packaging. All of his data collected in a spreadsheet providing him his options based on where he is in the world, calculating humidity and water hardness.

Nah, all that would take away his time from watching the last 10 games of his opponents, reviewing scouting reports of their training sessions and preparing videos for individual players to watch when they're not training.

Emi did for the black third shirt hoodoo.

Beat SCUM at home for the first time since 1995

Now he's pissed all over the Manager of the Month kiss of death.

What's next I wonder?

I can't believe BFR didn't win it. I remember Sir Brian receiving his before we kicked off the 7-1 vs Wimbledon.
