well its been 3 in 3 yrs, Hughes only in for 18months-bloody stupid IMO, he should have been given the the rest of the season. 2 losses this season(best in Prem), Rags have lost 5 so far and nobody is calling for Baconface to be sacked-sometimes our supporters disappoint me- Hughes has been doing what he said he would, 6th by end of season, yes we've thrown points away but ffs, we are still well in the running, with a game in hand

From BBC Sport's 'Transfer Gossip' page, spot the odd one out...


Mancini's transfer targets for January are thought to be Liverpool duo Fernando Torres and Javier Mascherano, Bayern Munch winger Franck Ribery, Atletico Madrid striker Sergio Aguero, Benfica winger Angel Di Maria, Barcelona duo Yaya Toure and Thierry Henry and West Ham defender Matthew Upson.

Probably a bit of both and also the desperation of the media in dragging up the usual suspects for anyone's shopping lists. Anyway, going to get myself an agent - reckon should be worth at least ?500k (or more if you use Lescott as the benchmark).

?I was informed after yesterday?s match against Sunderland that my contract with Manchester City was being terminated with immediate effect. Notwithstanding media coverage to the contrary, I was given no forewarning as to the Club?s decision. Given the speed with which my successor?s appointment was announced, it would appear that the Club had made its decision some considerable time ago.


I am extremely disappointed not to have been given the opportunity to see through my plans at the Club. At the beginning of the season I sat down with the owners and it was agreed that a realistic target for the season would be 6th place in the Barclays Premier League, or in the region of 70 points. All of this was communicated to the players and we all knew where we stood. Whilst everyone at the Club would obviously have wanted to see more wins, we were absolutely on target at the time of my dismissal. Only recently we had terrific victories against both Arsenal and Chelsea.


I am very proud of the fact that I steered the Club through the most significant period of change in its history.


I have always been aware of the responsibility that comes with being afforded the luxury of a significant transfer budget, and I was grateful that the Club supported me with significant investment in players. I very much regret, however, that I will not now be able to enjoy the success that would undoubtedly have followed in the light of that investment.


I believe that I have handled with dignity the recent pressure placed upon me by press speculation.


I would like to thank the fans for their support throughout my time at the Club and particularly at this difficult time, and I wish the Club every success in the future, particularly in relation to the forthcoming Carling Cup semi-final, the Club?s first semi-final for 28 years.?

*Applauds*

Almost half-term and we're 7th rather than 17th which I'd have accepted. Unbeaten in nine games, our run coincides with regime change at St Andrews (about which I had my doubts) which seems to have spread an enthusiasm throughout the club. McLeish conducts himself with quiet dignity and the team are playing for each other and showing great commitment. Staying up remains the first priority but having bagged 28 points so far goes a long way towards that target. Who knows, seems like may have to dust off my old AA Road Map of Europe yet - seems like there's a few new nation states since our last foray. Now for a good whisky and a chorus of Keep Right On..........
West Ham certainly looked good from what I saw and should have no worries about relegation if they can sustain that level of football but I still thought Chelsea finished the stronger team once they'd equalized. Mike Dean tried to level up the wrong penalty by making Lampard retake the pen 3 times but come on would he have done a retake if Lampard had missed?

Oh please don't ignore me Sandperson, I'l shall cry if you do. Give me strength, grow up man.


As said before keane was is, and will always be a coont that nobody likes. Oh and by the way Viera didn't ever break a players leg or maim another player on purpose, unlike the coont Keane. An accomplishemnt of which I'm sure Keane is very proud. Tw@t.


As for the results over the weekend, well you've got to laugh at the shambolic Liverpool, well in Fulham and unlucky West Ham, robbed by a prick of a Linesman.


I thoroughly enjoyed taunting Tango at the Arsenal yesterday, horrible Allardyce acolyte knob.

    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
