Well AVB has paid the penalty for the bad results and yesterday's game was the last straw. He's been sacked:

Newcastle could have won that 2-1 at the last second 
I know he's had a bad record but I think he should've been given longer.
Liverpool have won 3 out of there last 12 league games
Chelsea have only won three matches in their last 12.

I don't think whoever manages Chelsea next will do any better tbh. It's pretty clear between the loony owner and some of the players it's increasingly no-win.

The difference is that Liverpool have been playing better in those 12 games than Chelsea have, plus there are higher expectations on Chelsea than Liverpool.. And ofcourse the fact that Kenny is almost a god in Liverpool, whereas AVB is just yet another foreign manager..
Ambramovich is a very strange guy, he is willing to spend 10-20 million on getting a new manager every year or two but not keen on going out and spending large amounts of money(Mourinho was probs the last manager to get an unlimited transfer fund).
I don't think there is as much of a problem with the squad as the press are making out, they still have some very good players, the problem was AVB was trying to change too much in a too smaller time causing players to not perform.

Indeed, I've got it on in the background, 4-0 up at 60 minutes!

That Spurs attack looks awful. Can't see anything other than a United win.
Yeah I am a bit disappointed tbh. Livermore and Sandro in midfield...... Doesn't look good imo.
I was out all afternoon so only had the BBC website to keep my company, then lost 3G signal in a café whilst it was still 0-1 to Sunderland.
Got signal back to see we had missed a penalty but still equalised.
Thank god for Shola.
That's definitely any possibility of 4th place over now. We've thrown away four points in the last two matches, at home, it's just not good enough.
I really hope we don't get into the Europa league because I think it will stretch us too much next season. I'd like to finish above Liverpool though!

Agreed, United 3-1 winners. Shame I would have liked a stronger team from Spurs to make a real game of it.
Mind you we are at that stage of the season where Rooney is due a broken balsa wood toe.
