Mancini is already being courted by PSG and Marseilles.


Whatever SAF said, and despite his own experiences, Moyes is already on borrowed time and will be out sharpish if he fails.


Looking at coaches abroad and in US sports the sackings are pretty frequent and ruthless - football is now owned by large foreign companies and rich individuals who use the clubs as marketing tools and need success or the marketing to be effective.


This is why idiots like Gold & Sullivan will keep BFS to try and ensure mid-table safety in perpetuity and forego any attempt EVER at anything more.

Every billionaire "achievable target" is winning league and champions league


Only one team can win each


Therefore every year more and more managers wont reach their achievable targets.


Fergie would have been set achievable targets 20 years ago and would have been sacked.

And this!

Went to the game last night and feel huge sympathy for Wigan, they tried to play football the right until the end. Unlike anti football Stoke, I'd rather they'd gone down.

It's interesting see how everyone in the media seems to have jumped on the Mancini character assassination band wagon. I don't recall the same condemantion being levelled at Fungusmoan when he was laying into players and officials with with his expletive laden tirades. Funny that eh?

Week 33 results.

Lots of good scores this week.

?? is on a roll, having almost halved RD's lead in one week.

All to play for in the final week...



DR - 3 Correct Results + 4 Correct Scores = 15 pts (second highest weekly score)


?? - 4 Correct Results + 3 Correct Scores = 13 pts


EP - 3 Correct Results + 3 Correct Scores = 12 pts

OT - 6 Correct Results + 2 Correct Scores = 12 pts


JL - 2 Correct Results + 3 Correct Scores = 11 pts


AM - 4 Correct Results + 2 Correct Scores = 10 pts

PD - 4 Correct Results + 2 Correct Scores = 10 pts


RC - 4 Correct Results + 1 Correct Score = 7 pts

SC - 4 Correct Results + 1 Correct Score = 7 pts


LG - 3 Correct Results + 1 Correct Score = 6 pts


RD - 5 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 5 pts

MM - Played a maxxi = 5 pts


Mx - 4 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 4 pts

"Ha ha - bloody fair-weather playa... I am 4th (in the 100% category)"


That got me thinking - what would my score be if every time I missed a week and got a maxxi, I'd played and got my average score?


Answer - 16 points more.


Just out of interest, I did the same for El Pibe.


Answer - 12 points more.


Sorry, maxxi. The table doesn't lie.

I don't remember referencing the discussion in terms of billionaires.


Targets should be included in managers' contracts, like the real world tat most people live in, from high finance to the NHS.


No manager should take on a role where the target is unrealistic. A contract reflects the negotiated position.

Whilst I totally agree with you in general terms MM, football isn't exactly the real world.


At ?5 million odd a year top contracts are worth, I wouldn't give a toss if the grandees of football added the invention of perpetual motion in my contract, let alone winning the treble, I'm taking the role!!

Your average score!? That's assuming a rare degree of consistency in 'the game' - what about if you had scored your lowest for all those weeks?


It may well still work out the same - I can't be arsed to check - in which case I will content myself with scoffing at your tussle for fourth and Pebbles' scramble off the bottom and look forward to the CL Final.


*I kicked RD's rear in the EDF fantasy league too! :)

    • I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
    • @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage  
    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face.
