I reckon Ten Hag will be potted this week.

How a United manager can survive a 4-0 beatdown to Palace is beyond me, but I think they will give him the Cup final.
Shut up, Eric is doing a great job and it's about time Ratcliffe extended his contract.

Nah, a new manager boost with Southgate will see them reach even greater heights. He will be able to get something out of the current crop, no clear out necessary.

Southgate would turn them into an effective team, that will beat the less-able teams but fall short against anyone any good - basically the opposite to what they are now.

I don't think Southgate has it for the Premier League. International teams don't have the preparation time that club sides do, so Southgate's pretty damn basic football is less exposed. That football against an Emery, a Pochettino, a Howe, an Arteta, a Guardiola? Get out of town.

That's what I think. They'd be dull to watch and finish in 6th or 7th (which wouldn't be considered good enough by Yanited fans).

That and only a week to prepare between games? (because they won't be in Europe).

Forest lose their appeal against their points deduction, which keeps things interesting at the bottom, if nothing else.

Burnley still alive, so you'd think they'd be up for their game against Spurs. But you'd also think they'd have been up for a home game against Newcastle too, and look what happened there.

It doesn't really matter whether Burnley are up for any game. If their opponents are up for it, chances are that Burnley will lose.

Surely they should have another couple of points taken off for appealing and losing .

Maybe for bringing the game into disrepute with their employees trying to insinuate corruption within the premier referees and promoting that theory world wide?

They and any clubs their owner owns should be immediately thrown out of any competition they're still involved in.

Would be a bit unfair on the true fans because of idiot owners.

Watching Palace last night technically disembowelling an awful Man U i do worry we wont pick up another point this season. Injuries, loss of form - probably due to being knackered etc, really do point to two defeats. Hopefully Postecoglu's inability to organise a defence will continue to haunt him and we'll be okay but its touch and go.

Definitely with you on this one Lee!
