The question is, is Rafa an interim manager, or an interim interim manager, given that Di Matteo was an interim manager...? I think it's a terrible decision... how come managers can be sacked so easily and yet players can't...? Torres should be sacked, not Di Matteo...

I have to give you kudos for that point. Di Matteo's players made him look rubbish.
 
Clattenburg is cleared of racism claims!..and John Obi Mikel gets a misconduct charge!..
 
What little respect I had for Chelsea is gone now:

BBC
he evidence for Chelsea's allegation towards Clattenburg came from their midfielder Ramires who, when interviewed, explained that his instinctive reaction was to seek confirmation from Mikel as to what the referee said.
Mikel, who was being spoken to by Clattenburg, was much closer than Ramires and did not hear what it is suggested was said to him.

So Ramires thinks he hears something racist and Mikel does nothing to dispel it and Clattenburg gets publically charged. Pretty pathetic of Chelsea to make such public claims with such little evidence.
 
As has been sadi already, RDM wasn't meant to stay in the first place. He did a good job in the short term, but I don't think he and Roman see the same thing for Chelsea in the future. A lot of it may have to do with the buying of a striker to replace/join Torres. Roman and the managment want Torres to play, I assume so as to not make their $50m go to waste, while RDM was trying more to replace Torres than to help him.

I was really looking forward to buying Falcao in the off-season, or even for enxt season, but that looks a lot less likely now that RDM is gone. I do hope Renitez does a good job, and Guardiola steps in and picks up where he left off.
 
No surprise, QPR have sacked Mark Hughes. Redknapp heavily rumored to be replacing him.
Only good news for rangers fans then. Never rated Hughes much.
 
Should've sacked him sooner if you ask me!...cant understand why they have done it the day before one of theyre biggest games of the season!:dunce:
 
Matchday!

We need a big victory today, and a clean sheet, to get back on track.
 
So as it stands, West Brom are poised to go third ahead of Chelsea. Or in other words, Rafa is sacked. :p
 
WOW! Just plain wow!

The acting from West Bromwich's Ridgewell is just to pathetic!

West Brom 3-1 up then on penalty...

Yeah, lets be honest here. It's going to be a good game but, City will do its typical just good enough to beat the Blues this weekend. Hopefully Chelsea win though, they need it to sort of keep their season alive.
 
4-2!!!!!!

Great goal... Lukaku is just all over the place. :)


West Brom on 3rd(!) place now, with stunning 26 points! :dunce:

Well, they haven't been particularly good against big teams as yet. Not impressive. Drew with Arsenal and Liverpool, luckily for them in the latter. Granted, they did beat us in the Community shield, but that was Hazard's first game, and there was no Oscar, and 10 men for much of the second half. It's a lot different now.

Hazards first games were in that US summer series were they not? I thought the Community Shield is a week before the beginning of the BPL season, which would be after the US tour.
 
The biggest shock of them all was the fact that Kieron Dyer played the full 90 minutes...

Wigan and Norwich's late goals...awesome.
 
Again United need a wakeup call before they start play football... Good win though! ;)
 
I know we are winning matches, but i dont like coming from behind all the time, i mean, how long can we keep it up!?

They have been doing it week in and week out. Obviously they know what they are doing to win in the second half.
 
Yet another time that we concede first this season. Starting to get unnerving now.

Also an unlucky day for Reading.

I want a draw between City and Chelsea because Chelsea are still quite close to be honest and a point each between both of them would be OK.
 
Hoping for a liverpool win and a chelski draw tomoz
 
A Chelsea win today would be the best result for United, and it would also prove that City are not unbeatable.
 
I expect Rogers will have a warm and friendly welcome at the Liberty.
