Crazy to see the amount of goals some of the top sides scored. Everton only scored 45 over 38 games and finished fourth?!

That's a feat in itself (shame they became the only side in recent memory to fall at the first CL hurdle from EPL).

 in 1998

 AIK (the Stockholm team we support) won the Allsvenskan, despite scoring only 25 goals in 26 games (lowest scoring team in the league that year)

Mauricio Pochettino makes one main demand to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Manchester United

https://metro.co.uk/2020/01/20/mauricio-pochettino-makes-demand-replace-ole-gunnar-solskjaer-manchester-united-12092796/

Mauricio Pochettino is willing to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Manchester United at the end of the season, but wants control over transfers. The former Tottenham Hotspur manager has been long admired by the United board and was thought to be their first choice after parting ways with Jose Mourinho midway through last season. Solskjaer earned the full-time gig after impressing as interim manager but has failed to turn United’s fortunes around and the club’s hierarchy are considering their options

Pochettino and Max Allegri are the top contenders to replace Solskjaer as Manchester United manager, according to Alfredo Pedulla, and talks have already begun with the ex-Spurs and Southampton boss. And while Pochettino is willing to take control of the club in the summer, he has insisted on having guarantees in place over arrivals at Old Trafford. Recruitment has been a big problem for Manchester United in recent years, with Mourinho’s frustrated response to the failure to deliver top targets being one of the key reasons behind his departure.

We clinched the title with (what else) a nil nil draw

Stuart Baxter was our manager

we got to the group stages in the CL and drew with Fiorentina (3 goals for us disallowed) and almost beat Barca (they scored 2 goals in the last ten minutes, one of them in the 93rd minute), a Barca with Figo, Luis Enrique, Rivaldo, Kluivert, Pep, Cocu, etc etc

here is our title clincher

lolol at Baxter speaking Swedish with his Scottish accent

In fairness we took a lot of positive out of the game against them at Stamford Bridge despite losing. Although that said we did produce a performance worthy of a result whereas United stayed in it due to poor finishing.

Taking positives from the performance is one thing but taking positives from your team staying within touching distance in terms of the scoreline despite getting battered is another and the latter is what Solskjaer pretty much said. If United are doing great but just play badly in one game like that, then you could excuse it but no, they have been so bad. Comments like that are the kind that managers of smaller teams say, not a manager of Manchester United. Let's not also forget, this Solskjaer comment has come not long after he said United are making progress just because City played their first XI against them (they didn't by the way) in the Carabao Cup semi final. I mean, I'm not even a United fan and I'm smacking my head at the stupid things that he's saying. Seriously, what's even the difference between him and Hodgson at Liverpool or Moyes at United?

Lampard has said similar things maybe not the same level but similarly still.

Solskjaer is living a charmed life at United just now though. He has been there for over a season now and they have regressed significantly under him.

Every manager say similar things but no sane ones say it like Solskjaer does. He is the manager of Manchester United, not Cardiff City or Molde FK.
