That is possible but the FA Cup and perhaps the Charidee Shield would give him a little leeway.

Well play the EDS just be sure. They might scrape a 1-0 win.

Nope

Bad results in the Premier League are what going to kill him, No Champions League football so they will want a fast start and be in the top 4 straight away, Losing ground early will panic them into a change

Ssshhh don’t say it :-)

Again possible but if they were that serious in giving him the chop they would have do so by now. Looking at their fixture barring Liverpool it is not the most taxing. #SOTP

They would have rewritten the contract with options like results-based, Can you see them sticking by him if they lose 3 or 4 games early doors,

Considering that their first 6 matches are available on global TV, if he loses 4 out of the 6 it'll be waistcoat time.

Nope sorry, disagree. They were 7th and out of Europe. When The European nights start again they would have been missing. Nothing for the media to jizz over, nothing for them to tell us every day how great these nights were under Sir Matt.
Scruffy Jim would have been desperately trying to fill the black hole that no European tv money had made.

But we went on the piss, we gave them a get out of jail card, we allowed them back. Makes me fucking angry if the truth be told.

Serious question
Would people rather win 4 in a row premier league titles or beat Rags in Wembley Cup final ? I still hurt a little from the cup final but 4 in a row titles out ways it. CTID

Fucking hell my sides have just stopped hurting and now we start again laughing at this shit house of a club

Southgate just waiting for the retainer so he can chuck the England job in.

It's a too delicious thought to really take seriously. Can they be that inept to employ him?
Here's hoping so :)

Starting 11 Team was:
Vitek
Wan-Bissaka
Evans
William Fish (yes, really!)
Murray
Casemiro
Hannibal
Rashford
Mount
Williams
Wheatley

So 5 1st teamers, and at least 4 players who’ve been in the 1st team a few times.

Conceded 22 shots and four of them hit the woodwork

It's not really a serious question. If it was any other team the FA Cup wouldn't have felt so bad. I genuinely think Chelsea would have given them a better game. I was a bit surprised at our over the top drinking celebrations after winning the league, it was pretty obvious some players just didn't think too much of the FA Cup - if we'd reached the CL final I genuinely believe we'd have won the FA Cup.

4-in-a-row though....never been done. Same as the domestic Treble, never been done. The 100 points, never been done.

It hurt losing the cup final to that shower but all 3 things above have never been done in English football history - the only historical thing they managed we then equalled. No wonder we're being charged and the red tops are behind it all, they must fucking despise us after telling us at the takeover that 'money can't buy success'. Wankers.
