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 never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • 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.
