I've only read the headline so maybe I'm taking this totally out of context but how can you say someone is manager of the season so far after 3 games.

You've had your biggest win in ages, but you made the mistake of doing it against a big-six side, so we talked about them instead." Refreshing honesty for a change. Ha! Love James Richardson and that show in general. Way more balanced and fun to listen to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love James Richardson and at least there was a nudge and wink acknowledgement but it wasn't a good episode this week. If Sky had analysed our game like that they'd be getting pelters. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was preferable to the previous week, where we were dismissed with the briefest backhanded compliment (by one of the other presenters) about BR wanting us to be Man City-lite or some such, and just basically waving us away as an anomaly.

"So far." You could say someone is 'manager of the season so far' 5 minutes after K.O. It doesn't mean much, but it's not wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't mean much, but it's not wrong. Its these early judgements that really annoy me, not just with managers but players too. It makes no sense how you can judge it based on 3 games, 3 very good games but still... at least bring the article out after 10 games, that would be better. I will agree with you by saying that, yes, its technically not wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from Ancelloti there cannot be any other serious contenders surely. 9 points out of 9, 12 goals scored, top of the league, inflicted MC worst ever home defeat in a tactical masterclass. All of this with several key players, who most would expect to be starters missing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of this with several key players, who most would expect to be starters missing I think I'm probably contradicting myself after my last comment, but I agree with this, as well. Couldn't have asked for a better start to the season, even if we had a full bill of health. I think the question is whether "manager of the season so far" is making it sound grander than it actually is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again journos need a headline and it gives the story a bit of a shock horror feel and sounds better than "first manager of the month award for the new season goes to......" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
