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.

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.

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

"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! :)

      Cost of fags in WHS.. Victoria Station

      By beansprout · Posted

      Yes, should have given up by now but haven’t. Was waiting for my train yesterday and went into WHS on platform to buy a pack of fags. Almost feel to the floor when guy quoted me £28.00 for a packet of Silk Cut purple. Was a long day for me and thought I had totally misheard him! Asked again, only to be told that that was the price whuch is well over the odds..when I queried it as have bought, admittedly end of last year was told “ this is what management charges”. Surely this can’t be right…fags stayed in WHS paws while I bought some in Herne Hill at normal price. Still reeling over shock…..

      Going to be really inconvenient for folk to go that way as has been stated.. why not just move to Camberwell which I would assume is abit nearer and better travelling wise or have vets in both places from Lordship Lane Branch.. Must have been massive flood if going to take two months to dry out, electrical tests to make sure all good… From upstairs? Or where?
