One of the greatest managers of all time, but he's arguably done very little for five or six years now. Wonder if he might go to China/Saudi. I can't remember which thread it was in but I said yesterday that I think he is a shoo-in for the Newcastle job this summer. I can see Eddie Howe being let g...

How does it work for promoted clubs like Forrest? Are the EFL and Premier League rules the same so they can use 3 years of accounts. Don't think so, they're two different jurisdictions. Bournemouth got fined by the EFL for breaking the rules when they went up, so I don't see how that can have count...

Forest have employed leading sports lawyer Nick de Marco to argue their case, which is thought to centre around the sale of Brennan Johnson to Tottenham for up to £45m in September. This took place after the accounting deadline, but Forest argue their negotiating tactics allowed them to generate a ...

I know it was only Man Utd they were up against but Wigan seemed to have a helluva lot more about them than we do.

Trouble is, anyone involved in the game at any time in recent memory, will have heard the phrase “he has a perfect right to go down there” so many times that, scandalously, it is now a part of football’s DNA.

But no, it’s not too late to fix it - it just needs the will to do so.

Jeez, hard to believe the obnoxioustwatometer gauge could go higher but Ian is here to prove there's always another level.

In the PL the standard of refereeing the game on pitch is better than it's ever been.

The standard of the assistant referees is mind-bogglingly good.

He didn't actually say we've been playing well.

From Despair To Where? I think the problem here Ian is that you're only interested in the sound of your own voice to the point that you blank out most things that you can't argue with.

And find something to argue with even when you do actually agree.

CHARTON and BUMMINUM are the best for me.

(Bit obtuse but BANG BANG BANG was my way of suggesting the 3 of them all needed a quick bump on the noggin for being ignorant of the fact that multi-ball is across the board this season.)

It's funny how in retrospect everyone was always agreeing with me when I'm right, but before the fact I'm always wrong. There's been dozens of match threads on here over the past 4 years where countless posters have bemoaned the lack of defensive cover provided by the midfield, and about how when w...

BANG BANG BANG.

NathStPaul Fair play to West Ham, thought they were excellent.

They were indeed, what a year for them. And yet lose a couple of games and the “Moyes out” murmurs will begin again.

Ridiculous that Arsenal didn’t sign a top centre forward Pre-season. If anything, they probably need 2. They could probably use a bit more depth as well when you look at their bench, but pretty much everything else is in place to win a PL except the one piece that really matters. If they don’t go ou...

I think Blackman, bar that spell, looked out of his depth whereas Kebe just looked bewildered by the intensity of English football. From once it clicked, he was a different player. Azeez has largely looked bereft of confidence rather than shite and I've not seen too many comments criticising him fo...

Much as I enjoy MU getting beaten I can acknowledge facts, and they were superb. If they hadn’t been offside virtually every attack in the 1st half they could have won that about 8-2. But Villa didn’t know what was hitting them and were awful in the 2nd half. Fair play, that could / should ignite th...

Good to see a young manager given time by the owners to learn from mistakes, in very difficult circumstances, rather than respond to knee-jerk demands from bedwetter fans to get rid. More clubs should follow our example. What's with all these weird joke posts. We all know Selles isn't here because ...

Ok ian. I’m all for bashing selles when necessary but this isn’t one of them moments. Wigan are dogshit and haven’t troubled button once (other than the abbey fcuk up). These were all sensible subs. Just give it a rest. Why don't you give it a rest? Give what a rest,ian? You’re the one being the di...

Thanks, the other guy couldn't bring himself to say it.
