Is that the bird he was shagging on the left? 555

No , it was Rooney's bit of passion......😀

Poor performance against Spurs. I think this is the beginning of the end for Ten Hag.

 

I'm guessing Ruuuuddddddddddd will get it on a temporary basis, get the new manager bounce and then get it permanently. At which point they'll drop off again.

Don't be confused. The club is Tottenham HotSPUR, without an S.

Birthplace of Herbert Kilpin, the founder of Italian giants AC Milan.

Located in Nottingham, now just an empty shop with a small nod to the legend.

Had he lived would Bobby Moore have had the England career he did?

Rumour has it that he was on the verge of joining Bolton to team up with cousin Denis Stevens before Matt Busby persuaded him to join Utd.

Not many worn on shirts till the 1970s.

A much needed win for Eric Ten Hag and his team this week against Brentford. This should give some relief to everyone at the club.

[JonnyF]

Bit unlucky against the Hammers IMO. Poor finishing and a dodgy penalty didn't help but still safely above the relegation zone.

You were exactly correct. Another Cloggie then?

Keep on like they are doing, and it'll be them and Soton going down down down.

Yep Ruud temporarily. Amorim has been mentioned but I don't think he's the right choice for a club in such a mess. It needs an experienced manager like Ancellotti but obviously he wouldn't take it. 

 

It's kind of a manager's graveyard at United at the moment. They can't all be bad since Fergie and you can't replace the whole squad so I don't see a quick fix no matter who they appoint. 

 

I still think if Ruud wins a few games he might get it, simply because other big name managers might have better options or see it as a massive risk. 

 

I'd expect them to get a few results now. I don't think the players were really backing Ten Hag.

Right now Im not sure about anyone although I did see that coming getting sacked this week, I'd take Fat Sam until the end of the season, serious,

Fat Sam with Keano as assistant. 

 

That would put the cat amongst the pigeons.

Amorim has never managed a UK PL  club, he was taking about the job at West Ham when Moyes was still manager, a bit different from teams in Portugal, as you said not the right guy, but listening to the radio today, he does seem to be favorite.

Whoever they get, will move in bring a few players with him, sell some other players, at a loss, they might win something, after a couple of years he will go, it is just a big merry go round. same with most PL clubs.

Problem is, since Fergie left the game has changed more money involved, finding another Fergie like looking for hen's teeth.

BREAKING: Italian manager Samuele Allardici emerges as favourite to replace Erik Ten Hag as Manchester United manager.

I've just seen a headline on BBC sport with Ruud saying Man utd could be unstoppable. I'll have a pint of whatever he's drinking.

 

Roy Keane in the mix though would be interesting 🤔 they'd probably have to play the second half with about 8 players though after he's kicked the $hite out of everyone at halftime.

 

I'm a Tottenham boy myself and got City tonight in the 'two bob' cup. We've done well against them at home last few seasons but am dreading waking up to the headlines that their under 13's spanked us 

 

Big Ange ALWAYS wins a trophy in his second season though......

[Keeps]

Don't know what Man utd were thinking getting rid of McTominay. Napoli went 7 points clear last night after beating AC Milan. Apparently, he is smashing it. Another Tottenham failure in charge though with Conte.

What was the name of that horrible scrote in the middle ( behind the granny shagger) that went to Leeds?
