Norwich have really sorted out their defence as of late, both compared to earlier in the season, and also compared to last season. A massive win and, in my totally biased but realistic perspective, absolutely deserved. A great morning. My baby boy was wearing his shirt even though it is still a few sizes too big, but well worth it.

Best of all, nobody expected Norwich to even get a point in this fixture, and they've come away with all 3. These are bonus points as long as they ensure that they take them off of teams in the bottom half of the table.

Chelsea lose. Man United lose. Mark Hughes will probably get the sack. Feels like Xmas.

he 'tried to sign' basically every player who had a good game today while he was at Spurs

No big deal, he was signed for two seasons.

Summer and Fall.

Let's get it started:

The former Liverpool boss replaced Roberto Di Matteo who was sacked on Wednesday after eight months in charge.
Benitez won the cup with Inter soon after taking over and could do so again with Chelsea next month.
Ferguson said: "On his CV he could have two world championships and nothing to do with the construction of the teams."
The Club World Cup is contested between champion clubs from all six of the world's continental confederations.
Ferguson added: "Rafael Benitez is very lucky. Jose Mourinho won the treble at Inter; Rafa took over and they won the world title without having to do anything."

Di Matteo was sacked despite having won the Champions League and FA Cup in his short tenure.
"Everyone feels for Roberto Di Matteo, and quite rightly," Ferguson said. "It's quite amazing that you win the FA Cup and the Champions League [and lose your job]."

But first up for Benitez is a home match in the league against Manchester City.
"I hope he is lucky on Sunday too," said Ferguson.

How long until Benitez shows up whimpering and starts spitting out ridiculous "facts".

That's pretty funny.

The 1 CL that Benitez actually won, Liverpool then went to Japan and lost 1-0 to Sao Paulo.

I don't think Rafa was hired due to his results at Inter, so I'm not sure why Fergie is so focused on that.

Because Fergie likes to troll any and everything to do with Liverpool

and he also wants Jose to replace him (some thing after this year) so he gave him a compliment in it

two birds with one stone

I think Harry will do great at QPR

they have the players, they just need the belief and his man management is one of the best in the world (which is why he would be good national team manager)

don't see them getting relegated now

Rafa's first game can go two ways, and I'll be happy with both.

He wins, and takes points from an MFC team that will be dedicated to the table.

He loses. I love when he loses.

Christmas wish: Cattenburg ref's a game that LFC loses.

why did Man United put up an Arsene Wenger statue outside the Alex Ferguson Stand?

What a great tribute this morning for MF Sir Alex Ferguson. What a legend!

Spoiler!


Spoiler!


During Ferguson's 26 years at United, there have been five US presidents and five UK prime ministers. There have been ten Liverpool managers, twelve England managers and, of course, nineteen Manchester City managers.

Sir Alex is our man,' gushed Holmes and it was hard to argue. Should football clubs be erecting statues of managers while they are still working for them? It is a moot point and one that Ferguson himself even referred to.
'People normally die before they get a statue,' he said. 'I'm outliving death.'

'Somebody has to control me and Cathy is the only one who can,' he quipped as his wife climbed the podium to do the honours.
'Mind you, I've made her promise to come here every Saturday morning and bow down in front of me.'
