Few news outlets saying Frank Lampard has been told if he loses tonight he's out the door. 

Bit harsh imo. Not convinced he's got it, certainly signings have been suspect Werner and Mendy are comically bad. But don't know whether they were his choices.

If you look at Arsenal and Southampton it shows the benefit of giving managers a bit of time, I thought that might start a trend of holding off and not pulling the trigger so quickly, but Abrahmovich is not a patient type and they have been pretty rank for a while now.

Is he a Tory?  Always thought he seemed a good c**t.

He was quoted saying he wanted Cameron as PM at the time he was in the running.

I don't think that shows anything. Infact Southampton are the perfect example of the opposite, the only reason they have Hassenhuttl is because they correctly sacked Mark Hughes 9 months into the job. If they'd given Hughes time they'd probably be in the Championship now, and wouldn't have got such a good manager. Same with getting Pochettino before that too. And everyone knows Arsenal's problem was giving Wenger too much time. For every case you can point out of clubs standing by a manager and turning out well I could point out equally as many cases of clubs sticking by their manager and regretting it. The old debate about 'giving managers time' is stupid, it depends who the manager is and on the circumstances. If you appoint someone with an iffy track record like Hughes who is clearly turning out to be hopeless then you should sack them, if you've appointed someone who you are convinced is going to be a good manager then you give them time. Clearly it's not as clear cut as that, but a blanket 'give them time' argument which all in the media seem to push is stupid.

Breathtaking scenes. If Big Sam keeps West Brom up this season then it has to go down as one of the greatest feats in the history of football. Unreal.

I hope he doesn’t, complete arsehole of a man.
