We're Phelan good...

[Falling Down]

Yeah he's doing a great job.  Beating the champs on the first day has really put the wind into Hull's sails.

As a Manchester United fan, this season is starting to turn extremely worrying despite the early promise....  I'm fairly confident we'll be at least challenging for the title and will be back in the Champions League next season

From an outsiders point of view Joses Manu look a metric gigafuckton better than LVH's ambling soldiers...

Not on tonight's evidence... (sorry Shabar) they looked very pedestrian and confused.

With Huddersfield flying high, this thread needs Grubes' input!

Again possibly another example of how a really good coach can transform players - isn't Wagner a Klopp-apostle?

Didn't realise they were in the Europa League

Crazy shit with Big Sam.

Wonder if we can take him back and sack Moyes off?!

[GraemeA]

£400,000 to bin a career worth 10 x £millions. Dickhead with lack of judgement. So no Mike, Moyles can stay.

(Not looking good so far but as I am dyed in the wool I will keep the faith)

Did you see Chico Flores' opinion on it. Totally hilarious and stupid.

Its in reference to this classic moment.

Who's big Sam?

Makes Mike Basset England Manager seems feasible rather than satire..

This afternoon we've surprisingly appointed obese crook Steve Evans as manager. "The rollercoaster starts here" apparently...

[Falling Down]

Pep Guardiola.. What an incredible talent.  City with basically the same squad as last year look like a completely different team.  We look so composed and aggressive, attacking every loose ball or when losing possession and every player running all over the pitch with ridiculous passing ability.  It's frighteningly good football... Be afraid, very afraid.

Whoops

you called.
Town are playing fantastic. A few of my mates have quit playing football on a Saturday so getting a good group of us going to matches regularly so been great to go and enjoy the matches.
Wagner was klopps assistant. He has really built a team.we do not have the best players. We have not spent a lot of money but we are a team and work as a team.
Wagner has been great with his signings getting players out of the German lower leagues that know one knows who they are.
This is the best I have ever seen Huddersfield play in my 20+ years of watching.

Bring on man city

  I'd love to see Huddersfield in the Prem. Looks like you might have to win the playoffs to get there though.

The Steve Evans effect seems to have kicked in at Mansfield- we've scored 11 and conceded 1 in 2017 and haven't lost since I last went on Boxing Day  Chesterfield in the Division One relegation zone too.

Good old "no knowledge of the English leagues".  You'd think Merson would know better given that it was the same criticism leveled at Wenger. Doesn't seem to be stopping Conte either.

I'd love to see a reality show where Merson actually attempted to manage Olympiacos.

[Mike Tyson]

Poor Claudio Ranieri 

[Grubes]

So an unbelievable season comes to a close Brighton are in the premier league and Huddersfield are in the play offs actually thinking about it only Newcastle in the championship top 6 are getting parachute payments?

It's been a great year for Huddersfield my first trip to the etihad enjoying going to matches again I actually bought a season ticket for the first time in 4 years I think. So looking forward to next season wherever we may be

[nai]

Terrible what Huddersfield did at the weekend.  Now a team who haven't performed for the previous 44 games could go down just because they want to earn an £80m promotion.  No respect.

[Grubes]

We have done more for Blackburn's survival this season by being absolutely wank and gifting them 4 points,

than we did playing a team that held man city to a 0-0 draw

[tregiffian]

The Bantams are going to Wemberlee (again). Better chance of success this time I fancy.

After spending most of the time since Christmas "in and around" (as Alan Shearer would say) the playoff spots and despite having one of the best defences in League 2, Mansfield finished in 12th.  I guess that just what happens when you don't have a consistent goalscorer and have the toughest run-in of any of a very tight top half.

Still, mid-table in the 4th tier is where we've been for most of my life so not so bad. Chesterfield finished rock bottom of League 2 as well, so there's also a chance we'll finish above them for the first time in about 15 years next season.

I reckon it's a good chance as well. I still don't like or admire Steve Evans but he's working wonders- got us winning at home (Field Mill is the sort of place where I imagine savvy managers have always briefed their teams along the lines of "stop them getting a shot in the first 20 minutes and their fans will win this for us"), gone a long way to introducing a general air of basic competence around the club and his hectoring, abusive, conniving presence on the touchline undeniably gets us results- the points we dropped in the period he was banned for in March would have seen us in the playoffs for sure...

[tomtom]

So its shit or bust today for Hull City... If we win, it nicely drags Palace into what would be a three contender relegation final day...

But we probably wont. Still, at least its a 12 noon kick off so there's plenty of the day left to be sullen and grumpy...
