Is Ole still at the wheel?
he is no longer a gamble mate. Poch is now a huge huge gamble. Like staking your both kidneys on 10000/1 odd.He’s really no bigger a gamble than Pochettino now. If he can revitalise the club structure like he has the first team...
I used to be a steward and had a similar encounter with Paddy Crerand and Gordon McQueen whilst waiting to go on shift. They approached me and my work mates! Absolute gentlemen.I'll never forget the day I met Sir Alex in the reception area. I was going in to hand in an application for match day steward, went to the desk, spoke to the receptionist that day...and then like an apparition, who came around the corner and into view?! Sir Alex. He must have seen some emotion on my face because he looked straight at me, walked towards me, said "hello son" and I said "Hello Mr Ferguson".
In the moments after I wondered whether there was any element of disrespect from me, considering his Knighthood and being a 'Sir'. But in the moment I went for Mr Ferguson to refrain from using his first name.
Lovely little experience. He was wearing a bright yellow jumper. Just thought I'd throw that in there.
I wanna hear a follow-up on football 'eritage badly right now!I'm starting to think that Mourinho bloke was completely wrong about everything.
Not bad, I found a pretty good one I posted 7 years back.Tweet

He needs to stay at Molde and win back to back titles, if you want to be the best you need to show consistency, I still think it's inevitable he'll be the united manager one day. The fans would love him, I'd rather have him then someone like Moyes.
He will be our manager for years to come. It's written in the stars.
Nah, in Ince we trust!Tweet

I was thinking that earlier. The difference really is night and day isnt it? I remember being livid at Jose after that Sevilla game, like the most angry i've been as a fan.This time last year we were knocked out by Sevilla, and man like Mourinho was chatting about football heritage.
Tonight we knock out PSG, finishing the game with Chong and Mason
Ole's at the fricking wheel yo.
Was a really dark night for us then, and that cloud never really lifted until that sour faced arse-hat left!I was thinking that earlier. The difference really is night and day isnt it? I remember being livid at Jose after that Sevilla game, like the most angry i've been as a fan.
This makes me so happy.Tweet

In time, i'm sure i'll remember Jose's time here slightly differently, as he did bring some success. But as a man he really was toxic, just never once understood imo what this club is about. Just a very bad fit ultimately.Was a really dark night for us then, and that cloud never really lifted until that sour faced arse-hat left!
Maybe even the Glazers will feel more attachment to the club and its results in the future. Hopefully this will spur them on to recruit a DoF and give Ole a big budget since they know he'll make good use of it.Tweet

Avram probably joined in.
Agreed. While we were about 'us', he was all about him and didn't even care to hide it in his pressers.In time, i'm sure i'll remember Jose's time here slightly differently, as he did bring some success.

But but but the heritage...
I bet he's fuming currently.
While I agree with most of your post, I disagree with the last bit. This result was a perfect storm of everyone playing for their lives, PSG underestimating our back-up players, and a healthy dose of luck. I actually think we would have lost if we were at full strength. We hardly ripped them apart in the first leg, did we?What have you done, Ole? Put pressure on Glazers to invest 200m in summer transfer window please, we need more quality from all over pitches and squad depth. I hope our win result is not distracting Glazers from our performance especially we had 10 injuries out, if we had Herrera, Matic, martial, Pogba, etc, we'd be ripping them apart.

Rest assured you are not alone. Every time I see "Avram" , my brain completes it subconsciously to Avram Grant.I'm tired and read this as Avram Grant and got very confused for a good 10 seconds.
I mean I dunno if it was the formation early or just Bailly/Young not being good, but that wasn't a very good period.His tactics worked a fecking charm
I counted 3 different formations through that game
Players must have complete trust in him
I love it
I know emotions are running high but did we win the xG?
Lucky. Bailly at RB was abysmal. Surprised they didn't punish us more. The team pretty much picked itself. Not like Ole had much choice.His tactics worked a fecking charm
Haha very charitable to praise him for the first 'formation' when Bailly and Young had absolutely no idea what they were doing and we could easily have gone 3-1 down! But he did have the balls to fix his mistake and after that everything worked flawlessly, it was a masterclass.His tactics worked a fecking charm

it was very obvious what the plan was. we came on very strong in the last 15-20 minutes and ole already pre planned the subs of Chong and Greenwood to attack in this period. they looked more tired actually and out of ideas. We got opened up only once/twice despite conceding the ball 70%.It felt like the plan for the 2nd half was to ride out the first 20-25 minutes, keep solid, not concede and not really try to score either and then try and grab a goal in the last 15 mins. Smart. Obviously I would have taken a goal earlier in the 2nd half but I do think we would have struggled to keep out the ensuing onslaught from PSG for long. Really good game management. Obviously a huge slice of luck helped with the pen but if that's what Ole brings then the future is bright.
