I make that 34 points in 34 games.

That's wrong. They'd played 11 games last season before he took charge of his first game (v Ipswich on Nov 11th). That means he was in charge for 27 games last season, with last night being his 12 game this season. That makes 39.

They had 15 points before his first games, finishing that season with 42 in total. They've now got 18 from 12 games so that's 45 in total during his tenure.

Regardless, he's still shit.

Fair enough. That's on me for taking it as gospel, without checking it. Not sure why someone would post that on social media when a two minute check would disprove it.
 
All these stats are not helping our efforts to keep Ruben in his job so, please stop posting them. Its important to remember he's just won 4 in a row at home there is definite progress

He's up from a point a game last season to 1.5 points per per game so far this season. That's huge progress.

Naive Scruff won't contemplate a sizeable payoff for Ruben AND a hefty slice of compo when he's off hunting for a new sorceror!

We will see when the fans and media and the utd fan pundits start demanding he go out taking the piss and highlighting out of every little thing he does.

Maybe not this weekend but I do think he won't last until Xmas

Yeah but, No but - that averages out at a point a game, so technically, that equates to a 34 game unbeaten run in the land of the polished turds.

It's why the invincibles isn't that great of an achievement.

You can draw every game, go unbeaten in a season, yet could still get relegated.

The game is about winning, and why our 100 points season was the greatest single league campaign ever in English football history.

The fact that they had one of the biggest leg-ups last night and spent the next 77mins doing bugger all bar conceding might take a bit of swallowing for SJ, but the thing that breaks his heart is not having a shitty team but spending money! He prefers to spend other folks' money but no one is gonna pay off Ruben. He's gotto dip his hand in his pocket. So he'll keep him for a while yet. It's nearly Christmas and if he makes it into the New Year he's got a fair run to the end of the season. I can't see 'em replicating last season's scintillating performance but if he doesn't get a Euro place then it might be curtains.

The next big issue will be the Cup, hopefully they'll get a 'tricky draw' in the 3rd round, say Villa/Palace/Newcastle away. I don't want them anywhere near us!

He's then left with nothing but the league, some of his best players hopefully going deep at AFCON and no European football next season after a shit winter/spring will result in further financial sanctions and who knows adidas might even take a stripe off them :)

Of course this is all bollocks because their ball will be already in the deep freeze in readiness for the lowest placed team to be drawn the 'plum tie' a visit from the mighty manchesnytid.
 
I’m surprised that no credit has been given to the Everton brilliance required to bring an end to United’s 4 match unbeaten run. This sours the very real achievements of the manager and his band of merry men: the increase in points per game and the surge up the table from 15th to 10th. Patience, these are exciting times for all who are concerned with the reds future. Carry on Sir Jim, you’re doing just fine.
