The FA Cup win was great, and I'll always enjoy that
but had Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Chelsea etc had the league we had, they'd be on 3 managers

Well I find it interesting that a lot of those who support Ten Hag paint the picture that it's Ten Hag or Ruud.
I understand that we may give Ruud the job as an interim but we are only in October and I definitely wouldn't be surprised to see us give it to Ruud for a couple of weeks then hire someone more suitable until the end of the season.
For me this is the worst it's been since Fergie, and now it's because of the hope. That first half was decent, lots of nice passages of play. And then we lose again. Other managers had the decency to just crumble, but this time these players are refusing to down tools because I assume Ten Hag has compromising photos of them all choking horses.
Because you shot him? Bloody hell man, you didn't have to take him out.
Clearly, that made last season a success, and gives him a free pass for the first part of this season.
There is no other explanation.
That’s the same way I feel.
Remember after the Spurs (H) loss, we were told ETH was under pressure from upstairs to "turn things around"
Do you know our record since then?
1-3-1
Not really "turning it around" now, is it?

He really does refuse to admit any kind of responsibility which makes him even more unlikeable and the situation more frustrating.
Plenty of mediocre managers have had plans, and got the better of world class mangers from time to time. There was no excuse to keep him on even after that final. Last season was absolutely disgraceful on pretty much every metric. INEOS completely fecked us this season the second they decided to keep him on. Most of us knew it.
Multiple incidents went his way last season.
Onana should have given a penalty away on the opening night.
Maguire got away with a shove for deny McAtee heading in a rebound.
Gordon should have been awarded a penalty vs us at OT back in May.
He was literally saved by a tight VAR call vs Coventry.
It's not about luck. We are where we deserve to be.
How not ?This one wasn't on him, but his luck of hanging on may have finally come to an end...please...hopefully?
He's been doing that for a while.
I’ve sunk as low as being open to Southgate as the interim if it means we can get rid.
He deserved another year based on one game vs 38 league games prior to that? No way.
3 of our next 4 games are easy
Even as bad as we are, we’re winning all of Leicester, PAOK and Leicester again.
All 4 are home games too
I think they’ll want to drag it out as much as possible. And it’s very lucky for him that he has a cluster of piss easy games
He is absolutely deluded. Has to go tonight.
I'm coming to the conclusion that INEOS haven't sacked ten Hag yet because they are deliberately trying to drive down the price of obtaining the rest of the club by thinking we will be cheaper if we finish lower.
I’m not sure if ETH is really cut out for this football management lark.
He went the way he would have wanted, defending some half decent passing from a Ten Hag side in a game they lost.
It's once again the perfect time to get somebody else in, and build some confidence, but they probably won't.
At some point you have to wonder, if anyone would notice any difference if you just replaced football fans with some well trained dogs.
You could easily train dogs to enthusiastically bark for the home team and snarl at the opposition regardless of what's happening on the pitch, if that's all the role of fans is reduced down to.
Not saying this specifically about our fans but in general, if that's all good fans should do. I personally believe a big part of the fans role is to support the club, by giving feedback, demanding standards and trying to influence/egg the club into making change when things are not working.
Its 1-1 away to a West Ham side that had more holes in their midfield than something with a lot of holes in. VAR was shit on us, not doubt, but how the feck are we not beating these comfortably by 60 minutes is beyond me.
'We turned things around last season"
Won 3 of the last 10 PL games and Finished 8th. What the feck is he on about?

He’ll probably make the game against the Greek side at OT look so fecking hard. We made Twente look competent.
I’m just saying I don’t think this was a sackable performance. I think he should have been sacked a long time ago and obviously wouldn’t complain if he goes tomorrow but I do think it’s more important to focus on performances than results if we want to see longterm progress. In that sense, this was better than many of our wins.
I would have much preferred to be hammered today and look headless. The second Garnacho missed his second chance it was clear as day, we would make a show of ourselves in the first half trying to score a goal, West Ham would come out better in the second half and do us(in terms of performance). The exact same as the Palace game.
What wins?
He's been doing that since the end of last season. Did people already forget his arrogance in the face of rumours about him being sacked, saying he'd just go somewhere else and win trophies if he wasn't wanted here? He doesn't accept any responsibility for his failures. In his mind it's all down to bad luck, bad decisions and not getting enough support from the club.
I knew Ratcliffe was going to be a disaster, looks like I was right. Heading in to probably our worst season ever post saf.
Of course he does. In his defence, all manager do.
Ole had "progress" shit and Mourinho had heritage rant.
And XPts had us 6 places lower than the 8th we finished.
The complete opposite of bad luck.
FA cup win = successful season and turning it around. A 14th place finish would still mean good, because silverware
My sources, which are imaginary, suggest very strongly that Eddie Howe is losing faith in the Newcastle gig.
We’re losing to Chelsea though and could be quite badly beat there.
Only the very best highest standards at Utd.
This is the worst post-SAF. We are now 7 points from the relegation. People probably still feel relegation is far away. In some sense, it is. But, Ipswich has been scoring many goals, once they start winning, they will jump ahead. It’s ridiculous this team is put into such a situation. We have lost four league games already?!
We probably will draw that game.
4 wins in 14 games. One of them against Barnsley. You can say today wasn’t on Ten Hag, but the bigger picture is.
No you couldn’t. Does no one remember the only reason we won was partly due to an absolute howler from Ortega? Otherwise that game goes to ET. We hardly created anything after the second goal. Great box defending and organization to see the game out sure but I dont understand this notion that we clearly outplayed City in that final or it was some masterclass in management. It was a tight scrappy game that we edged due to some luck, a single brilliant move, and monstrous box defending from Rafa and Martinez and co.
He much longer are they going to keep flogging this dead horse. Just get rid of him. Xavi is available. Fans want us to play a more possession orientatied game with lots of width. Xavi is your man.
Or anyone else who's out of contract. Failing that pop down Manchester job centre, and ask any lads in the dole queue if they fancy the job. Anyone will be an improvement on ETH.
