Daily Mail (insert virtue signal here) reporting Ranieri has been sacked.

Ridiculous if true.

wow... just wow. this is only the start as well, i can only imagine what their squad will look after the summer. if they don't go down this season i would wager they will next.

I have to say, I'm pretty amazed at this. Just saw it as a breaking news item while watching The Premier League Show. Do they not remember back only a few months ago when he won the ****ing league for them? For the first time ever? I know they were doing abysmally, but surely that's more down to the players? And if they were struggling with him, who the hell is going to lift them before relegation? Madness. Pure madness. And exceptionally ungrateful. ****s.

Agree TH. They should be building statues of him if anything.

Still in the European Cup and not relegated yet.

anybody watching the EFL cup final? we were battered throughout the first half but somehow are holding onto a 2-1 lead. southampton's first goal was waved off as offside even though it was quite clearly not, guess mourinho can't call us the unluckiest side in the prem anymore

second half should be a mad ting.

~~Cuthbert~~ · 02-26-2017, 10:32 AM

Yep.

If MU win, they go ahead of Liverpool in terms of major honours.

Nicely posted.

England has some decent prospects, I feel like I'm always saying this but we do.

I'm happy for Kane. You can't argue against those numbers.
