Hughes was my top tip to win the sack race. Damn Abramovich and his capricious ways

Haven't looked at the link as it's the current bun but why feel sorry for him. He knows what he has signed up for.

Sorry Novo. I'll try to avoid predicting anything for a week or two.

Spurs best home performance of the season. 3-1 and hit the woodwork several times. Quietly optimistic that we can get 4th again.

As a Gooner, I'm optimistic of us getting 4th again too.

Spoiler:
Not so optimistic of staying there though!

I doubt there'd be may willing to go that far west.... Most of them only seem to play well in North and East London.

Could any passing Chelsea fans kindly have a word in their shell like ear about bringing the club into disrepute. Really, If you are going to paint a homemade banner with shoe whitener and a cheap blue tarp, dont run out of space at the end of the line, not once, not twice, but three times!!!

I believe my kids might describe that as an "epic fail".

At least their spelling is correct!

Imagine starting a new high-profile job and at your first public appearance seeing something like that! Can't those Chelski morons give the guy a chance?

Yes, they could have hired better managers, but who in their right mind would take over a club whose previous manager delivered what the owner required yet was still sacked because the owner's pet isn't pooping in the litter box/star striker scoring goals!

They were never going to give Rafa a chance, and thats the genius of Abramoivich appointing him. The rage of the fans is focused entirely on Rafa, not the guy who hired him and fired the previous incumbent, or on the feckless #9

If Rafa does his thing and brings a trophy or two to the bridge they may grudgingly accept him, but if not there will be no tears in the summer when hes replaced.

From Rafa perspective its win win, do well and maybe keep the job at a top club with funds to spare, do badly and, well, he never really had a chance anyway. Either way hes back in the shop window at a decent club, performing in front of the worlds media. Better than sitting at home working on his blog, that Liverpool payout wasnt going to last forever

This is how classy the chav fans are, they wouldn't even give Dave Sexton an ex manager, who won the FA Cup for them, a minute's silence of respect as they were too busy abusing Rafa.

I think he'll be after Dawson.

Not sure they can afford to lose any more players the squad is a little thin after all the sales in the summer.

Totally agree....just look at the absolute clowns that the club have had owning, managing and playing for them since he left....although Mourinho did dress well ...and was good for a laugh during interviews.
