At 40, Santi Cazorla could’ve retired in comfort. Instead, he returned to his boyhood club Real Oviedo on a minimum wage contract, donating 10% of his shirt sales.
Today, he scored one of the goals to secure Real Oviedo’s promotion to La Liga… After 24 years they are back in Spanish 1st division. 🤍💙
🚨📊 Rúben Amorim is only the second permanent manager in Premier League history to see his side score within the opening two minutes of his very first game in charge.
David Moyes with Everton in 2002 is the other. (@OptaJoe)

2 trophies in 2 years.
Promoted and developed youth.
Fought against player power.
Most importantly, you cared for the fans.
Good luck, baldy, and thanks for the memories.
The writing is on the wall, we've been here many times before over the last 10 years.
I've always defended this Ten Hag team from the argument of them 'throwing the towel in' and 'not playing for the manager'. Even the shitshow that was the end of last season ... I still didn't feel like the team was up to it's usual tricks of just simply not playing.
After today, that optimism and defiance is in the bin. Today's performance could have been under Moyes, LVG, Jose, Ole or even Rangnick, and we wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. It was that shite and that relatable to every manager we've had who has unfortunately ended up playing their way in to an inevitable sacking.
Pathetic, spineless, lazy, uninspiring and defeated from the start. Recency bias shouldn't be underestimated but I do honestly believe that this was our worst overall performance in a very, very long time. Considering we've lost 4-0 to Palace, 3-0 to Bournemouth, threw a 3-0 lead away to Coventry and have been pummeled 7-0 to Liverpool in recent memory, that's quite a fucking statement.
He's had 5 transfer windows now and this is very much his team. The cup saved him last season with the league finish being swept under the carpet. I backed him and wanted to give him time due to the structure/injuries/general habit of restarting the manager merry-go-round. 6 games in to a new league season and it's as bad as it's ever been.
We've lost 8 of our last 20 home league games and our away form isn't much better, or is it worse? I have no idea at this point and I don't have the energy to look it up. Porto away next, followed by Villa away. I just can't see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I've never called for a manager to be booted and I won't start now, but I'm not naive and ignorant enough to acknowledge that it's looking like he's not going to be in a position to turn this around and take us to where we are aiming to be.
I'm as miserable tonight as I have been in many a year.
Fuck this, I'm having another beer.
