Cheap squad.
Good football.
Complete turnaround from the bottom of the table.
3 points of the automatics.
Highly rated young manager.
Nope. New boardroom get rid of him. Ridiculous, sheer ridiculousness. But what else do you expect?
I hope he won't be out of work for long.

So tonight then, United had a scrappy win away to Palace where we didn't play well and the refereeing were terrible, but its a win, a big three points, and keeps us within touching distance i think.
Also my other team Swansea lost 3-1 to WBA and are now three points adrift in the relegation zone. GAH!

West Ham fans name the post as the man of the match.
Incidentally, the Championship is looking frightening (as usual). Newcastle and Brighton are slightly running away with it, with an 8pt gap to 3rd and twice the goal difference of anyone else, but on Saturday almost every team in the top 10 was in the playoffs at some point (exception being Birmingham, who peaked at 7th). Rotherham are a little sunk, but even so only lost due to a 95th minute penalty against a team in the playoffs - one of three matches decided by 89th minute or later goals. The Closeness Coefficient is 1.45, which is the highest it's been in a while (since Leicester won it), but even so the gap between top and top of the relegation zone is 29pt - exactly the same as the Premier League, but after 22 games instead of just 17.
If I was a supporter of a Premier League team that's looking to get relegated to the Championship, I'd be bricking it.

Crystal Palace have sacked Pardew!
PSG are close to agreeing a £30mill deal for Draxler. With Jese leaving on loan to Las Palmas.
As Oscar and Tevez have been heavily linked to a move to China. Reports also suggests that Mandzukic will head over to China as well for around £35mill.

I know alot of people don't want the chinese clubs to take good talent but I really want this to go ahead, Asia needs big clubs and this will trickle down to the Asian champions league which Australia plays in, our league is incredibly competitive in this league and it will help grow the ACL massively.
We also got a improved TV deal so money is starting to come this way.

Arsenal and Spurs are to battle out for the signing of Atalanta midfielder Franck Kessie.
Leicester City are interested in Genk's Leon Bailey who has a £20mill price tag.
Draxler to PSG is now official.
......I had realised Spurs paid £30mill for Sissoko.

But his past performances regarding the last two seasons doesn't justify his £60mill price tag but it's China they are willing to pay anything for a big name player.

The Chinese league will surely suck with these foreign fat cats? Firstly, there's no way these clubs are that rich without some kind of 'assistence' and secondly, with 30-50 known, name players doing the work, they're going to make any Chinese lad fortunate enough to get a game look like he has rickets.
This is like getting Schumacher and Prost to drop down to Formula Audi.
