Looks like Robson is staying - at least until the end of the season, possibly with a new first team coach. Kudos to Kevin McCabe for not wilting under pressure from a loud minority of fans and and following the usual Chairman's scapegoat route of sacking manager after manager...There is now talk amongst the disgruntled ones of boycotting Sunday's game. I really hope they do - they tried this with the Manchester City game, which may have resulted in a smaller attendence but did mean the people there were right behind the team, who naturally played a blinder. The dressing room is clearly still behind Robson, and I'd neither wish nor expect him to be sacked as long as this remains the case. I just cannot understand the mentality of "supporters" who boycott games for this sort of reason.....nose....spite...cut off...etc

Well I am off to Bramall Lane on Sunday to watch United v Middlesbrough >:D< - and am wondering if we will still have a manager then...

If they were let on commercial leases then the "Right To Buy" would not arise.

>Mirash used to be a cinema i do believe, lots of space , correct me if i am wrong.< You are wrong. The cinema was futher along Grove Vale :))

Well Cilla Battersby-Brown (sic) has now left, so your reference is going to become increasingly obscure :))....and did you mean Liz Hurley or Hurley from "Lost"? B)

Surely there's room for far more than 12 outside The Green though?

I do agree with all the anti-foreign PL fixtures sentiment. Can you imagine what it will feel like if your club has been relegated because they failed to beat an opponent in that vital, 39th game in Tokyo or Miami? It is all unspeakably cynical..

Does the Mirash have a cellar bar/restaurant?

Sure;y the tandoori oven offers a significant clue?!

I am a pessimist and will go for 0-0!

I see Leeds United have now dropped out of the top 6. And for the first time since the start of the season, would not be topping their division if they had their 15 points penatly restored... SimonM (waving wooden spoon, like)

?25K to Manchester United? The rumour is that Ronaldo's new contract will be worth ?140K a week....which even by overinflated football standarda does somewhat take one's breath away...

And later outside William Rose....there seemed to be two guys working it
