If Mourinho gets another big club job, that club should be dissolved.

Pretty sloppy, but 3 points is 3 points

They had to work for that clean sheets.
Ole is still undefeated.

Leicester has played the top teams tough recently (beat City and Chelsea; draw to Liverpool) so I'm not surprised that was tough. An ugly win is better than what those teams did.

If City beats Arsenal, that'll put us in 5th two points behind Chelsea.

Looking good.

Watched the game late....obviously not the most crisp game in the past month but a win is a win.

One thing I did not like was Lukaku at the end of the game. That guy could not be troubled to put in any effort or work up more than a trot. Huge liability.

Agreed, very little out of Lukaku today and Lingard faded down the second half; he looked gassed. It was a weird second half where they looked like the forgot how to play BUT still got 3 points. I take a positive out of this for that reason.

In case you're wondering how life is going for Mourinho post-United...

Great article breaking down Rashford's skill set

Reports that Herrera is close to signing a new contract. Rashford is apparently in negotiations for a new one too (his doesn't end soon but he's due a pay raise). The only person who has a contract running out that I haven't heard rumors about is Mata. I thoroughly love him but he isn't first choice under Ole and he's 30. Wouldn't be shocked if he moved on but I hope he doesn't.

So this Pogba guy isn't really the bum I was led to believe he was.

Apparently Martial is not too bad either

He's ok. He could use a better left foot.

It helps when your teammates draw soft penalties and you get to take the kicks.

Not so Special One: 7-5-5, GD 0 and out and out mutiny.
Ole: 8-1-0 GD +17 and everyone is happy.

Admittedly this run had been against mostly bottom of the table teams but still you actually have to win them.

This team has holes still. But the big difference between Ole and Jose is that Ole isn't out there crapping on them at every turn. Guys have their confidence back.

I'm not saying he's going to get the full time job (wheels could come flying off) but it's definitely his to lose at this point.

Get past PSG and finish top 4 it's his. Or win FA cup and finish top 4. Finish top 4 and it should be.

Holy crap. CHelsea had a +5 GD. And 18:00 in its now +2 and the only reason Aguero isn't on a hat trick at 18:00 is because he missed a tap in from 3 ft away.

And as I type they are down 4-0. This is brutal.

I come home from church to see a glorious score line. What a slaughter!

Feeling pretty confident we're gonna finish this week in the top 4.

Even on GD now. Brutal.

Up +1 on GD. Tactically this is the dumbest game I have seen in a long time. Chelsea was down 5-0 and still super high pressing. Of course City is inviting it to counter and score. And top put the cherry on top they are still high pressing Chelsea.

Down 6-0, MIke Dean tells Chelsea they have to play 3 more minutes of stoppage. Insult to injury.

Classy move by Sarri. Guardiola comes to shake hands and Sarri just walks right past him.

Sarri is fired tomorrow. Mourinho is hired midweek. Mourinho vs. United in the FA Cup.

Young signs extension till 2020.

Now let's get Herrera and De Gea signed.

The Sun is reporting/suggesting/hinting that Ole has been offered the FT gig. So far no one else has picked it up, so file it under "soccer rumor of the day".

If this happens Daniel Levy will be both the luckiest and unluckiest guy. He wont have to replace Poch but he also wont have $70-80MM from losing Poch. That's like 10% of the total cost of the new stadium.

I saw that Sun story. Very weird reporting, was basically that Ole was the guy, but they weren't going to tell anyone until after season and they were still going to conduct search. Makes you wonder about the legitimacy of the story, that and it was a story in the Sun.
