Eh, not really all that bothered, saw it coming. You'd have to pretty insane to take a job wherein which a Champions League and FA Cup won't guarantee you'l still be boss at Christmas. No manager with any sense will take the Chelsea job, hence why Benitez is in charge.
 
Really feel sorry for Alan Pardew right now..Newcastle's domestic form is bad, had some injurys to key players, Ba left for Chelsea, Coloccini wants to leave, Ben Arfa went on French radio last week saying that a move to PSG would be a 'dream move'..and now they have lost Remy to QPR!

Southampton managed 2-2 at Stamford Bridge. :dopey:

Man, what a terrible second half by Chelsea. I can't really complain though, since my beloved Spurs now have a good shot at overtaking the 3rd place.

I guess I would have to support PSG then if HBA went there. I can't wait to see him back into playing form. It will be really nice. Cabaye has also been out pretty much all season. Newcastle has gotten really unlucky with the injuries this year.
 
I quite pleased with how Southampton performed in the second half against Chelsea. Other then that, I think the Chelsea fans shouldn't of been booing their team at the end.

And for one good reason, it could cause another draw or loss.

8 year contract.

He'll get a boat load of cash if they boot him.
 
Mixed emotions about last nights cup games...good to see United go though, was a close game i thought!..

..and Swansea getting knocked out, Arsenal dominated and we didnt even have a shot on target!, but im happy with the way we played over the two games 👍

..also Suderland have made a bid for Danny Graham..id be ok to see him leave, so long as we get a good replacement in first..

..and now Norwich have made a £5 million bid for him!..

Just seen that on Sky Sports news. I was shocked when I saw it to be honest. I think Sir Alex just about sums it up in the interview on Sky Sports news.
 
Shocking decision!! they are going well in the league..4 points clear of danger, just got a great point away to Chelsea!..and they have brought some in who doesnt know this country let alone this league!...just cant understand it!!
 
Insane sacking. I heard somewhere that he can't even speak English, if that's true then it really doesn't look good for Southampton.

Nigel Adkins shouldn't have any problems finding another job though. 👍
 
Another day, another dumb sacking, I don't think these stupid owners will ever learn.
 
Quite a surprise that Adkins was sacked. No idea what Southampon owners were thinking.

The owners of clubs have more money than sense I suppose.
 
No games have been called off yet due to the weather, but a few games in leagues one, two and the Blue square premier have been postponed..

Some probably will be though because they'll say it's not safe for fans or some rubbish like that. There has not really been any snow here either, nothing proper anyway.:sly:

Yeah, I guess people are so scared of getting sued now if someone falls over/hurts themselves, that they will call the games off. I don't know if anyone saw on Sky Sports news earlier but they were using leaf blowers to clear the snow off the pitch for the Leicester v M'borough game later. It was very effective as well!

Maybe others could learn from that. Or just play behind semi closed doors. Just camera men. I don't need the crowd to enjoy a game.
 
I seriously think this is the stupidest thing to happen in a long time (regarding managers and owners), it's worse than the sackings of O'Driscoll from Nott Forest and Di Matteo from Chelsea... I mean, things were going better and better, there were out of the relegation zone, it just... doesn't make sense. I feel bad for Adkins, but as mentioned, he ought to find a new job soon (Blackpool?). I really hope Southampton gets relegated with the new manager, just to show that the sacking was wrong.
 
Woohoo, Walcott has finally re-signed for Arsenal. Seems like they have learned their lesson about bleeding talent to other clubs!

Now if Wenger can just bloody well make some quality signings in the next week for the midfield and defence :grumpy:
 
What a goal from Henderson, that was nice.

And a smart play from Sturridge to set Suarez up, good to watch.

Fantastic day for my local team Reading! Great away win at St James Park. In fact, it's their first ever win at St James park and that goes back to 1900. Le Fondre came on in the 70th min and scored in the 71st and 77th to come back from 1-0 down.
 
Great result for Swansea!!! beating a good Stoke team 3-1! got a bit of momentum going for the big game on wednesday..

Breaking News!! Ashley Cole agrees new one year contract extention!

Just been watching the live text comm of that on the BBC Sport Website. I must say, it's pretty shocking, Barca's first league loss of the season.
 
When Pique got sent off Barca held up relatively well, still held a majority of possession and everything. Sociedad just got that last push on goal. Messi had one or two more chances that almost went in too.
 
Interesting article on the BBC website about Michael Johnson, the young City player who many were calling "England's next big thing". Quite a sad story if I'm honest.
