Lampard had a decent stint as Derby manager, but had the likes of Mount and Tomori (if memory serves right) at the time. I don't think he'll do much. I'd happily have Cooper here, but anyone with an ounce of self respect would never want to work under Tan.

EPL - Sunday 1st December Man United v Everton (Man United win) Chelsea v Aston Villa (Score draw)

I know I bemoan bad luck in what feels like every week, but Leicester v Chelsea really has played out the most ridiculous game in terms of this league this week. One of those where so many bases were covered yet seemingly everybody got close but with no cigar. I went for a more simple pick of Chelsea to win to nil. Anyone who watched the game knows that this is probably what ought to have played out - whether it's the Ndidi non red card award or Leicester getting a penalty in injury time, but it's a very, very close one for me this weekend, and even more infuriating in that my own team still lost. I mean at least it got Cooper the boot. @CaaC (John) drops down to 5th having missed on that game by just a goal himself. Should Leicester have actually attempted to equalise once we got the goal, and been successful in doing so, he'd be sat top of the league by over £300 after correctly picking a Tottenham win at Man City. @Stan somehow comes out of it even unluckier than me though in my opinion. The bet builder sails in but for Cole Palmer, Chelsea's star player, not only not scoring or assisting (My FPL captain of course) but having one blocked off the line by his own player. We did get a winner though as @RandoEFC bumps up to 2nd in the league, following a successful double.

Already talked about it on the Discord, but I'm currently going through (most) Zelda 3D games. Started a playthrough of Ocarina of Time but since I already beat that a handful of times and know that game inside-out, I decided to pause it for something new and am now a fair bit into Skyward Sword (HD Switch version). I really struggled to get into the game as the first 2 dungeons didn't really do it for me, but it's starting to grow on me now. Some of the puzzles and dungeon gimmicks are amazing, and save for a few annoying enemies and actions, the button-based control scheme on the Switch actually works quite nicely. After these two, I have the following waiting for me: Wind Waker HD (completed the original before) Twilight Princess HD (completed the Gamecube original before) Breath of the Wild (never played before) Tears of the Kingdom (never played before) I'm still doubting whether to play Majora's Mask again. I finished it once on the N64, even getting all the masks, and while I loved it at the time, I have a feeling I am not going to like a playthrough of it.

Rudkin is way too comfortable and he may as well partly own the club. He's involved with King Power Racing and OH Leuven too. I mean in a way is he doing too much? Could they not just move him to focus on the racing and get somebody with a track record in? If this club had any analytics working within it they would identify quite how badly we've declined, but you just don't see it. Whelan I've been more lenient with because as I'm about to allude to below, she has got a more successful track record. But blots are appearing on her copybook now and this is just an embarrassment to be honest. It's an episode that's become the norm for this club in 2024 and I think we just need change. Top for me can stay if he makes these changes but until he does I can't support him. You hear that Top got somebody to do an investigation into our processes in the summer of 2022 (Greg Dyke apparently) and he concluded that we needed substantial changes, and he was totally right. But they never arrived. We got relegated and we're now a substantially weaker club. The ITKs claiming he's in regular consultation with an ex manager (I'm going to assume Pearson or Puel, but probably Pearson) who recommends similar. God I'd absolutely love him to bin Rudkin and get Pearson in that role. I think his skillset could genuinely suit it more than management in 2024. The absolute definition of safe pair of hands for us. But fat chance. Pearson never saw eye to eye with Rudkin - tells me everything I need to know straight away frankly. My very simple explanation is that Vichai has run a business before and actually had to make those tough calls to get where he got to, and Top, his son, simply inherited this rather than worked towards it. So in a way it's actually completely unsurprising that he's not really very good at it. It's a massive shame, and the emotional subject around how he became owner does in the eyes of too many for me alleviate him of blame, but I just can't back this anymore unless he makes some substantial changes. In fairness to him, in the last week, he has actually stepped up somewhat. He's binned the manager against the wishes of the mainstream (who have absolutely no interest in our wellbeing) and publicly called the players out. But he's got to do a lot more for me. Stop letting incompetent people tarnish everything. I can see how our fans struggle to take the emotion and sentiment out of this, but then you just remember how normalised this sort of episode has become at this club now and you really cannot defend it anymore. He's been a really poor owner on the whole. In a substantially weaker position on and off the pitch than we were when he took over, which is usually a good measure.

@MUFC

@Tommy 47000 for an Australia v Brazil friendly. Good crowd

The Leicester owner is the son of the guy who died in crash isn't he? That's how they have gone from one of the best run clubs in the league to the one of the worst?

I am actually quite curious to see how lampard does in the championship. He won't be up against as good managers as the Premier league interested to see what he does. I think you have been linked with Cooper haven't you? Probably not a bad shout for Cardiff. I think he's decent championship manager so could be good for Cardiff

Mate it was a joke. I was taking the piss because lampard is taking over at Coventry

Another embarrassment to add to the collection since Vichai's passing. Club pretty much run into the ground financially and then all of these off-field controversies. Rudkin should have walked ages ago but I think he's too cosy into to the club and with Top. This should be the end of Whelan and I wonder if Top's presence and decisions this week will be the last of one or both of them. Whelan I'm surprised with as she had such a good reputation not just here but across the PL. Perhaps she got above her station and followed the money instead of what's right and ethical. Rudkin has just been a piece of work for far too long. He's now lingering around like a bad smell.

The employee just watches them take a half full trolley to the self checkout. Is worse in ALDI where self checkouts are really small.

Week 16 Results Bolton 2-1 Blackpool Lens 1-3 Marseille AC Milan 0-0 Juventus Hearts 1-4 Celtic New York City 0-2 New York Red Bulls Macarthur 0-1 Auckland Chelsea Women 1-0 Man Utd Women Sparta Rotterdam 1-2 AZ Alkmaar Anderlecht 6-0 Genk Athletic Club 1-0 Real Sociedad Round-up A mixed week of results with only 4 home wins and one draw, all of which includes two games which had 5 or more goals in them. In the league, it was probably the highest average of scores we've had all season; just under 15 points. @Tommy top-scored to solidify his 1st place, extending the margin to 6 points as @RandoEFC and @Viva la FCB scored the same amount. The next highest scores were from @CaaC (John) and myself. The former swapping with @nawoo was the only movement in the table.
