So several people leave, we start slow, results don’t go our way as a new manager finds his feet (all probably likely), but after Christmas the team transitions well and we have a strong finish to the season with obvious positive signs of forward momentum and we finish 5th. You think he’ll be ‘lucky’ to have another 6 months?

In that scenario, yes.

Not so much in what we the pre match writers do, but I wondered about closing all players threads at KO and not re-opening them until the next day?
Might be a good idea actually mate.
Just before I was made a Mod, very nearly 10 years ago, most player threads were actually banned because they were toxic.

We'll probably have a discussion about it.

An extra 6 months would be overly generous given that particular situation IMO.

Totally expect Arsenal to spend north of 100m again in summer. More if few players leave.
It’s the Arteta way

Arguably deserves its own thread but I'll put it here.  Very sad news, albeit not unexpected given his recent health issues.

RIP Frank.  Apparently he was my MP when I was born before we moved saaarf.  Tainted his reputation more recently - primarily his stance on Brexit for me - but did and campaigned for a lot of good over his lifetime.

Was also my MP and personally intervened after my wife was denied a visa to the UK in 2008. 

RIP

Agree. What a fucking idiot.
I have no idea why Ancelotti is held is low regard by some. He has a phenomenal record. Not a "chequebook manager" at all. One of the greatest tacticians in the modern game.
It's the Everton thing and the fact he looks like he's channeling Fagan in that poolside deckchair pic most of the time.

New manager taking over a team that has and is challenging for the league , top 4 has to be the minimum and challenging the thought process .

It depends what you like. Jokic is so skilled and Luka too. I prefer that to athletic guys who can dunk like Ja Morant. Translates to football too. I like socrates  xavi and Zidane over athletic guys like Drogba Henry Aubameyang

Henry was a majestic footballer.

Brilliant show. Binged it all yesterday after finding out I didn't have to wait until Thursday for Disney+ to show it  ;)

Wasn't a fan of Cosmo Jarvis at all in the beginning but he grew on me and by the end I thought he was great.
