Having seen a bit of United today - I think that's very optimistic for them

True 

I'm still pulling for Everton to make it out. That win was a good way to start off a hard set of fixtures.

Villareal

Emery is incredible.

Couldn't do it for Arsenal but I'm still happy for him. Good coach at one thing, but damn he is really good at it.

Also, one more Good ebening.

PSG coaches seems to much more successful once out of PSG, for some reason :
Emery, Tuchel, Ancelotti. Maybe Pochettino will prove me wrong (Laurent Blanc has hardly coached since then).

Burnley have fired Dyche

Burnley have fired Dyche

Bizarre. That's them finished then.

[FunkMonk]

Also I'm assuming this is good for Everton. Burnley imploding means Everton can straggle along and still be safe.

Also, possibly replace Lampard with Dyche??? 

[Sheilbh]

Yeah I think so because I literally can't think of anyone better able to keep Burnley up than Sean Dyche

I think we may still spiral off in a more chaotic direction

Didn't realize he had been Burnley manager for 10 years, although I vaguely remember him being appointed. He must have been one of the longest ever at a single club in the Premier League era, right?

Fergie
Wenger
Moyes
Dyche?

Saw an article saying how Barca is going through a bit of turmoil because 30,000 Eintracht Frankfurt fans showed up to watch their team send Barca out of the Europa League at Camp Nou - when the teams fans had only been allocated 5,000 tickets.

Counting just the Premier League (as they don't seem to want to remember the old First Division) the current "longest-serving" five are -

Wenger
Ferguson
Moyes
Kinnear
Redknapp

Dyche may have managed Burnley for 10 years but a lot of those years were outside the Premiership.

Firing dyche seems madness. Especially now. They're expecting somebody to save them?
The best Burnley can hope for us yoyo club status and dyche is the perfect man for this.

Likely something else was going on there.
