52 league games as manager and 32 wins is, quite simply, remarkable.

Win on Thursday and then against Spurs and his estío goes back above 60%.

Yes I have actually worked it out.

Apparently the Luton win puts him in the top ten managers for points-per-game in the Premier League era, knocking Carlo Ancelotti down to eleventh.

1.86ppg, with Arteta, Tuchel and Wenger within touching distance.

No way around it, that's absolutely ridiculous.

On 1st Jan, they already had Emery above Ancelotti with 1.86 and in 11th with Ten Haag above them both.

https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/guardiola-leads-the-way-the-managers-with-the-greatest-ppg-record-in-the-premier-league/view/news/434387

So I'm guessing the poor form in Jan dropped Emery back below Ancelotti and Ten Haag has dropped beneath both, even with their good run at the same time.

(I expect Poch was top ten before he joined Chelsea).

To be in that top ten list with a side that were about 17th before his first game is utterly insane.

Rather they dont talk about unai and how great he is. Last thing we need is a club trying to unsettle him

Some of it is also his Arse record as well although which was also 1.85.

Pretty sure any club looking to come in already knows his record and doesn't need a public website to tell them.

Any list with Ten Haag so high is rendered ridiculous. Must try harder, Unai. 2.5 points per game by May por favor.

For some reason I read that as pubic website and... err... umm... well that's all.

Made me laugh when the presenter had some footage of our offside trap, and Emery tells him they're not doing it right in that example!
