McClaren next to go onto @Liquid's list, I suspect.
 
I'd be honest and say I thought he'd be one of the first.

His old club Derby went top of the Championship today in the dinnertime kick-off. How about that?
 
Great day of Football with bags of goals in the five 3pm games in the league, Bournemouth drew 3-3 with Everton with four goals coming in the last 10 minutes, Palace beat Newcastle 5-1 after Newcastle went ahead, Villa lost 2-3 at home to Watford, City beat Southampton 3-1 and Sunderland beat Stoke 2-0 after Stoke had Shawcross sent off

Top of the table clash between Leicester and Man United to come...

Vardy's broken the record, Leicester 1-0 up...

Blackburn unlucky with 2-2 against Sheffield Wednesday.
 
Would have won £180 if Everton won. Guess how angry I was with them letting a 2-0 lead slip, then how mental I went when it went 3-2 then how mad I went again when it went 3-3.
 
Towards the end of last season Leicester were dead and buried and now at the end of November they are 2nd in the league only on goal difference and Vardy has broken the record for goals scored in consecutive games in the Premier League. It's almost as if Chelsea and Leicester have swapped teams.

Lucky to be playing us in our worst stretch of form in a while though.
 
Coloccinni is one of the worst defenders I have ever witnessed. I don't understand why he always starts, in my opinion he be lucky to even get on the bench with that performance.
 
Dean Saunders of Chesterfield leaps onto the @Liquid list.
 
I must be clairvoyant. I was writing on the Wrexham board how Saunders would be gone by the end of this weekend. He hasn't held down a job since he left Wrexham in 2011; four jobs in four years.

Will add it when I'm off mobile.
 
Dutch 09/10 Champion FC Twente is going through a free fall. They're now 16th and that warrants a place for the promotion / relegation playoffs.

Newcastle needs to sack Stevie and then he can save Twente from going down the drain. :lol:

Wow. Never knew they were doing that bad. They need Tadic and Castaignos back.

He did alright for the stint he had at Twente. But Ziyech is some player and I can't see him staying at the club for another season.

He needed 20 tries for one goal per game. Terribly overrated player. Ziyech however just lacks a proper team around him.

Hasn't Schtevie Mack already been back there and it didn't work out the second time around? Third time's the charm, I suppose.

Yeah, he realised quickly that there wasn't a second chance for success. But hey, Twente has pretty much hit rock bottom and from there the only way is up.

Unrelated squabbling.

How incredible is it that Neymar, Suarez and Messi can work together so well and seemingly having the time of their lives?

Barcelona turned 2 of the biggest egocentric strikers in the world into well trained team players.

Edit.

More squabbling.

Ronaldo's tally on scoring from free kicks in the last couple of years.

91 attempts.

Scored?

2.

Chelsea drew 0-0 away to Spurs, not a lot happened but Mourinho left Costa on the bench and didn't bring him on, he threw his training bib in a strop, West Ham 1-1 West Brom with a brilliant Zarate free kick for WHU...

Liverpool v Swansea and Norwich v Arsenal on now.
 
Poverty performance from Arsenal yet again, same old story in November, and now Alexis gets injured after being overplayed. Top Managment.
 
Says a lot about Chelsea when they were celebrating that result.

Koscielny also went off and Cazorla "finished the game on one leg". At this stage it's beyond the realms of possibility that all the injuries Arsenal have picked up over recent years is simply bad luck... I can understand Alexis' case, but for everyone else playing in that team it seems to be a case of 'when' not 'if'. The medical staff over there needs a look at, I think.

Can't be bad luck all those years? it's bad managment and an incompetant medical staff.
 
Man utd went through a period of injuries last year. Started the season with 10 injuries. Not sure what they did but it worked. Arsenal shoukd do the same. Cant just say to the fans year on year "sorry we would have won the league but injuries happened. It was just bad luck". You have 2 players minimum for every position and you have the best medical staff.

They obviously don't have the best medical staff if muscle injuries are being picked up so quickly. Or else Wenger just ignores his staff.

That's a great fact. Very sweet to know given what a prat he looks brooding over the ball before taking a free-kick, and then there're the prats who try to copy him.

It's the latter mostly.
 
Another day of disappointment for us Swansea fans yesterday, we were a bit unlucky not to get a point at Liverpool, only one win in eleven and its not going to get any easier with Leicester on Saturday and Man City the week after, it doesn't look like Monk will get the sack right now but questions are being asked, if the situation is the same in January and we find ourselves in the relegation zone that I think we should look elsewhere, but who would take over??
 
MUSC4EVER

SHOCK NEWS!

A managerial departure which isn't a sacking! League One's longest serving manager, Dean Smith of Walsall, has left the Bescot to take up the reigns at Brentford. Does the "leave a team chasing promotion below for a team fighting relegation above" work out? Seldom. But let's see.

30th November - Dean Smith (Walsall, moves to Brentford) League One

Sackings: 24
Resignations: 3
Expirations: 2
Approaches: 2

Total: 31
 
I wouldn't mind David Moyes taking over, wouldn't like Brendan back, not sure about Harry...
 
Moyes is good at a mid table team I mean he was pretty consistent with Everton he's just not got that killer edge that you need to chase titles.
