80th 1-0 Arsenal Ipswich.
If Arsenal drop points here I would be 0% surprised.
Held on in the end. They really do seem to lack something when Saka isn’t playing though.
Rooney just lost 4-0 to Frank Lampard's Coventry.
I know he'll get another chance somewhere, but I feel like the "Rooney the manager" experiment has kind of run its course.
You are correct but let me dream about the panic signing of him as interim manager at Man Utd.
I watched the game, and 4-0 was very flattering. To Plymouth. Awful performance, although they do have a bunch of injuries, apparently.
Plymouth had an unlikely escape from relegation last year, so it's not like all their problems are Rooney's fault, but... Well, he's not providing any compelling answers yet, is he?

Well the newest update is Saka is out for 2 months so scratch pushing Liverpool for the title.
Maybe silver lining is the timing and they get some transfer business done earlier but you end up paying more typically and who was the last Jan transfer who hit the ground running in the same season.
Oh, also, RE: violent conduct, doesn't intent matter? Because....
Violent conduct is when a player uses or attempts to use excessive force or brutality against an opponent when not challenging for the ball, or against a team-mate, team official, match official, spectator or any other person, regardless of whether contact is made.
Intent not necessary, just the act. The difference with Serious Foul Play is basically an attempt at the ball, vs. say an open field rugby tackle type foul.

So who had Forest second in the table going into the new year?
Also great day for Leeds United, top of the table by 2 points (At the moment, hopefully Boro can do us a favour by turning over Burnely tonight) also my word our goal today by Brenden Aaronson was a thing of beauty.
Rooney's Plymouth lost away to Oxford today.
If they don't fire him now they may as well just withdraw from the rest of the season and just see everyone back in League One next year.
When I think about how good that Plymouth side was when Ipswich were chasing them in the League One promotion race it makes me sad to see what has happened since.
Actually... I realise now that Wayne was fired by Birmingham on 2nd January 2024, so now I want him to hold on to Wednesday's game against Bristol City, lose that and then get fired on Thursday.
Then Hallmark can have a new "Fire Wayne Day" holiday for Jan 2 each year.
Barkley has a shot to break the rushing record next week vs. the Giants.
Joe Schoen is so incredibly fired.
Wrong football, mate.

I think you're crossing the football streams.
Whatever has happened at United over recent years has clearly left a hell of a lot of rot to be cleared out.
When Radcliffe and the Glazers are embroiled in a bitter legal row over what was agreed and who's going to pay for what (because it will happen) you'd think the club will be in a lot worse state than it is now.
And partly this is Amorin - he's trying to get the players to play a system they aren't capable of. That's not entirely his fault for sure, but don't think it isn't some of it.
Edit. They do seem to have perked up a little this second half mind.
Ipswich 2-0 Chelsea is hilarious.
I was at Portman Road in 2001 to see 3-1 versus Derby County in the Prem (in what may have been Finidi George's only good game before he bankrupted the club), this feels like that.
Omari answered the "will he celebrate?" questions with a backflip!
Wayne Rooney is done at Plymouth.
Maybe it’s time he thinks about not managing.

I think he might have Daddy Manager issues from his years with SAF.
Hurry out and get your 2025 Plymouth Argyle calendars!
Worse though, photos showed Wolves goal scorer Matheus Cunha in an altercation with an Ipswich staff member, post-game, and now video shows Cunha deliberately elbow that staff member in the back of the head. Then when the man turns around, Cunha gets into a shoving match with him and then takes the man's glasses and throws them away.
Be interesting to see what the FA do with this, but it feels like Cunha should get some extended time off to think about what he's done.
Cunha has picked up a two game ban and an £80,000 fine, which seems a bit light for deliberately elbowing someone in the back of the head, never mind then stealing his glasses and yeeting them into the distance, but it's better than nothing I suppose.
Maybe the official written explanation will say the Ipswich staff member said something about his Mum.
The timing of the decision means one of those missed games will be an FA Cup tie with Bristol City.

He definitely deserves to be blamed for this. He's being too stubborn. He's being too... Ange.
