In seriousness though, I wonder how the fans would take Kenny being sacked. I mean, John W. Henry did say top four was the target didn't he?
Not too kindly. But a bit of fudging with him being "moved upstairs", or even just moving aside - all part of the plan etc might help. I'm sure if we replaced him with a big name and Kenny didn't kick off then it would be relatively quiet. I'm sure there will be some who complain if Wenger left this summer.Quote:

I'd be surprised if he wasn't given another season personally but then to spend a lot of money and still be in the same position you were two seasons ago (worse than last season currently) isn't exactly the kind of progress you'd be hoping to see after so much investment. Winning the Carling Cup would have given his reign a lot more substance though, it's true.
Thing about Rafa's last season is that we still had the bulk of what was a very good side and imploded. This season we're not doing that bad on the pitch, it's not like we're getting regularly outplayed we're just pathetic in front of goal. Almost the exact opposite of United who play badly and win, we're playing well and not. Which is just as worrying as when under Woy. But not as bad. With Woy we were playing badly and not winning.Quote:

I'd rather it didn't all end sourly and that he can still leave with a high head. This summer he can do that, imo, whatever happens between now and then.
I know the table is the ultimate arbiter, but then it has been a very weird season.
Did anyone else just fall into deep coma listening to John Toshack on Sky?
He is a very boring man.
Michael Laudrup though is awesome.

Real Sociedad 3-0 Real Zaragoza at HT. Vela with the second goal :bow:.
Malaga v Levante still 0-0.
Full time in both games.
Vela :bow:.

Vela was denied a goal that should've been given last week (as in, it crossed the line). He's doing quite well for them tbf.
Malaga are back up to fourth with that 1-0 win over Levante. :(
Sporting 1-0 Sevilla, Castro. Can't work out if that was meant or not, brilliant if it was intended.

Ronaldo shoots, Fabricio does well to get it away.
Real Betis 1-0 Real Madrid, Molina! Superb goal.
Real Betis haven't lost their ability to counterattack. :bow:
1-1 Higuain, he belted it in. :blink:

Real Betis 2-2 Real Madrid, Montero! Great game.
Double save from Casillas! Some of Betis' football has been :cloud9:.
Good save from Fabricio to deny Marcelo.
