Not really to honest. Arsenal's problems are of our own making and it's delightful to see the media finally writing some good things about the man. It's a shame we probably won't get Champion's League Football but I'd like to see AVB get some success.

Mancini is an odd one because he's not an outwardly loathsome individual like people would say Fergie or I Dalglish, and generally he's okay. But sometimes he's just a fucking idiot.

Somebody on talkSPORT has just said to Stan Collymore
"Lampard hit that penalty like you hit Ulrika".
Oh snap.

Arsenal need to realise the game doesn't start in the second half. We just do not turn up at all for 45 minutes. Fucking dumb. I expect better from Coq and Diaby, both were not helping Jack press high in midfield which let Chelsea walk right in.
I loved AVB at Porto, but I've cooled to him slightly since then, purely because of the oppositional nature of football. He's a really good manager though, that's in no doubt, and the Chelsea job was just a poisonous vacancy that he shouldn't have considered.
I hope more managers turn their back on the job, except for maybe Moyes, I'd love to see him go there and fail.

Moyes is coming to United with Phil Neville as assistant coach and winning four trebles in a row, book it

I wouldn't mind AVB at Arsenal, but I dunno about the real hardcore fans.
I don't hate Spurs as much as other Arsenal fans though, they're a good team!

Oh, if the Unites job's free whilst he's still at Everton he's getting it, NQAT.
But I'd love to see him spunk his load too early and fuck up his entire, trophyless career at Stamford Bridge.
I've warmed to them much more under AVB, couldn't stand 'Arry though. The man is a fool.

Oh yeah, this is true :lol
Depends when really. I genuinely can't see Pep to be someone where he stays for years; if he was going to do that it would have been at Barca.
If Fergie leaves at the end of Pep's last contracted year, I could see him jumping to United. Not because we're a better team or it's a better league or whatever, but because he strikes me as the type that wants the new experiences, that won't stay in one place for long, etc.
If its before then it's most likely Moyes, followed by Mou. I don't think he'll respond too fondly to being Roman'd second choice behind his arch enemy, and I don't know if he'd risk taking the City job while Fergie's still around if it meant sabotage to his chances at United. Won't like working with sporting directors either.

Do you even think he'd take that job?
Guess it would be hard for him to say no but it defo wouldn't be the kind of job he's after.
Well that pissed me right off. About four different people to blame for the goal which is a bloody shame considering the defence was so solid for the 92 minutes before that. Now only one loss away from a one game swing and after last season, I can't be confident about anything until it's a mathematical certainty.
To cheer me up me and my housemate have just been throwing maltesers at each others nobs to see who could hit them the furthest. He won.

I think Mou is perfectly open about both returning to Chelsea and going to City, tbh.
I don't think he's fixated on United. City is just as good a portal to both domestic and European success as United for a manager like him.
Don't be silly, Wilbury, Pep ain't going near your club.
He's definitely take Chelsea, the man's desperate for a promotion.

Well he's not going to be offered it so it makes no difference anyways.
He was. Did a solid job in the middle and covering out wide. Not good enough on the ball to play there in any other type of role though.

Won't Pardew only be compensated for a year's worth of his contract?
That is, if this twitter rumour is true.

Carrick was better.

WUT!?
He won't be sacked, but yeah only 1 year.

Haha serious?
Do you think we could see him play that role more often? Maybe as a replacement for Fletcher?
He looks suited to it.

Same for me with Pool; don't get me wrong, I still love a Lolerpool and B-Rod's a berk, but he's an endearing one. Kenny was just a bitter old cunt.

I can't imagine too many matches where we would play like this though. If he improved his passing then I suppose so but I don't know if that will come now.

He's considerably less technical than Fletcher, even though I do think his crossing is reasonably decent.
Speaking of bets... we are 13/1 to qualify on pens on Tuesday, and 7/1 to win the match!
Currently he's behind Vidic/Rio/Evans/Smalling for a CB spot. And Rafael is a better right-back than him too.
But I think Jones is talented enough to warrant a place in our squad in some sort of position.
