Off the top of my head I don't know Norwich's fixtures, but it seems a bit late for it to me. There's 5 games to go, I don't think there's time for any possible turnaround from an inexperienced manager. They'll probably be okay anyway, they're 5 points clear.

pik_d posted:

Fulham away, Liverpool home, United away, Chelsea away, Arsenal home. I guess they're hoping the new(ish) manager bounce gets a win over Fulham and that 35 points will be enough?

Seems pointless to sack Hughton now, they must be banking on the new manager bounce working for the Fulham game and hoping that win will be enough.

Also, what's the furthest into the season a manager has been sacked? I can't remember one so late on.

For the rest of the season I think.

When Roeder was our manager, Neil Adams was co-commentator and fans phone in host on Radio Norfolk, and just starting his career as a coach working with our under 14s or something. After a particularly shocking performance Adams criticised Roeder's team selection and tactics, not in a particularly aggressive manner, and Roeder went mental in a press conference:

oval office posted:

“And yet these nasty, irritating people that try and cause confrontation between myself and a player, between myself and supporters, are just bad people.

“They are people who will never manage a football club, they have little idea of managing a football club and yet they have a voice that reaches our supporters. Me and Huckerby get on very well. I don't have favourites, I don't do favourites. I pick the best team and at the end of the day it is my call.

“It is easy being a manager when you are one of 25,000 sitting in the stand or if you are an ex-player who is now working for the media who will never manage anything better than an under-10 team, thinking he knows best - and you know what I'm talking about, and I will deal with that, trust me.

He went on to get Adams fired because he's a nasty petty oval office.

After Roeder left Adams got his job back and worked his way up to be youth team manager and won the youth cup last season, and now he's a Premier League manager :3:

The lack of fixture congestion has been a huge influence IMO. It's not so much having 5-10 extra games, it's having to frequently play three games in a week.

You've had brilliant luck with injuries to your best players which is obviously partly influenced by the games bit.

United have poo poo the bed, we've been decimated by injuries to our best players, Chelsea are lacking a goalscorer and for some reason City are incredibly lazy and strolling through games.

Admittedly this is how a lot of teams win the league but you asked.

I don't want to take too much away because you have been brilliant this year but it's all coming together perfectly which requires a lot of luck.

E -

I don't know why I bothered to write that much. No injuries, fewer fixtures and poo poo rivals basically.

Here's the difference though, Brendan will expand the squad correctly for europe, Wenger will consider Yaya Sanogo to have really matured this season after his experience against Bayern.

I think sacking Hughton is a bit pointless at this stage but then again I only watch Norwich twice a season.

Arsenal have 6(7?) games left this season and to be able to call it a success after this mess of a two months they need to win all of them.

I'm really not sure they can.

At least Ramsey looked pretty good when he came on today. I still think Ox tries to force things too much but he was pretty unlucky not to score from 25yards. He should still be starting over Podolski who has been close to worthless this past few months.

Cazorla's been hit or miss during this awful period but he's certainly not rubbish. It's difficult to bench him at the moment too considering the injuries we have in midfield.

I know this is a while back and the no Europe thing is right but I don't know why people think we haven't had injuries this season; Enrique, Johnson, Agger, Sakho, Cissokho, Lucas, Gerrard, Allen, Coutinho, Sterling and Sturridge have all been out for extended periods at one time or another, which is basically the entire team (not even including missing the best player in the league for five games at the start because that was his fault)

Hoops posted:

Well we've pretty much avoided injuries the whole season, particularly to the most important players. But then again Suarez was banned for the start of the season, so that was "unlucky" in the sense our best player did something mental and got banned.

What's characterised Liverpools season is massive scorelines and pretty much all those games had nothing to do with luck.

Enrique got a season ending injury and Sturridge, Sterling, Allen, Lucas, Johnson, Agger, Sakho and Cissokho have all missed games in an already thin squad. We've had a 16 year old who'd only just been promoted to the reserves as the only midfielder on the bench for a couple of games this season. Given that Suarez is indestructible and only misses games due to his own insanity I don't think we've been particularly lucky at all.

not not luvd posted:

Maybe we're not talking about the same posts. It's a pointless discussion anyway. If you don't think Liverpool have been fantastically lucky this season (while still deserving a lot of credit and playing brilliantly) we're not really going to get anywhere.

All we need to remember is that Arsenal Are poo poo.

There's a difference between being lucky with injuries and having the sense not to pay Diaby 50k a week.
