Steve Clarke being sacked is mental. Who the fuck are they going to replace him with, Martin Jol?!

What if it really is Liverpool's year?

Looks like Spuds still suffer after European fixtures.

Saying that Liverpool going forward looked brilliant.

Games without Christian Eriksen.

0-6 to Man.C
0-5 to Liverpool
2-2 Man.U
2 x 2-1 close calls, against the two bottom dwellers...

Are you insane? He's been dogshit for the Bennies all year around. 7 wins in 2013 isn't good enough and he had to go, with their squad especially.

Once again, the stripey shite make a great decision. Ugh.

It's not so much about the state of the team/manager as it is the state of available managers to replace him.

AVB is finished at Spuds, you heard it here first.

Not sure tbh - he may survive as it wasn't to Arsenal but he has to show a change pretty fast - the premiership is not known for patience.

He will be gone soon. You don't turn one of the best defences in the premiership into a joke and then spend £100odd million on attacking talent to let in 5 goals at home without reply, he seems to have no idea what he is doing, it's a shame but that's the reality.

Most of that defense is injured. Kaboul, Rose, Vertonghen, Chiriches... Playing a high line when Dawson is involved is always going to end badly. There's no excuse for AVB's lack of flexibility but I'm more concerned with the amount of goals we're scoring than the amount we're conceding.

Something needs to change, it doesn't necessarily have to be the manager but he needs to realise that what he is doing isn't working. He's a stubborn bastard though. :(

City don't get a lot of luck when it comes to CL draws do they, hahaha. I'd fancy that to be a good game though. United get an easy draw as ever.

Some really tasty fixtures actually. If Arsenal play well I reckon they could test Bayern, but then if Bayern are on top form and Arsenal are even just slightly off their best I think they'll get absolutely mauled.

Milan vs. Atleti could be good too.

Hopefully United might be getting into a groove/bought a couple of midfielders by Feb. Couldn't really have asked for a better draw.

Reckon Barca v City is the game of the round though.

Capello to Spurs I hear.

Either way, sacking the manager is often enough to get a few good results going. The squad is there, it just needs to be used properly!

capello? Mr boring 4-4-2? Would be ridiculous given he plays an alien style to AVB. The squad would need a long time to adjust. No chance.

What a surprise United got an easy draw :)
Dortmund really hit the jackpot though

With United's form I would say Olympiakos could be a tough game.
