C'mon Blackpool & Chelsea

Who won't another London club in the premiership anyway?.....and the German's will probably win Euro 2012 so they should spread the trophies about between countries

Swathes of empty seats at Wembley. How embarrassing.

Don't really have an opinion on him tbh.

Not as embarrassing as the empty seats for the Four Nations double header and even the Challenge Cup Final.

for me yes Jon but what kind of board sacks a coach who has just won you La Liga and signed David Beckham ? (2003 ish ?)

absolute madness !

Decent game this though. Tom Ince looks a player, is he the same Ince that was in Liverpool's academy? If so, why wasn't he kept on by them? They've got utter rubbish like Spearing in the first team and a player like that is let go? Looks very impressive today, so much pace and seems to have a decent cross on him as well. Quality finish for his goal too, if only the Phillips chance fell to him.

Tell you what Ian Holloway is a very impressive manager. Blackpool were behind and the Hammers comfortable in the first half. But they've been absolutely blitzed in the first 10 minutes of the second half and it's completely changed the game. The commentators mentioned that they've got the best record in the country for securing points after going behind.

Why on earth bring rugby league into this? Some say this is the richest game of soccer in the world. It's the game that decides which club gets to jump on the Premier League gravy train. It's had radio time and column inches that other sports can only dream of. The crowd is low. The crowd is embarrassing.

I think he's underrated. Ok he's won his leagues, European cups, a European championship and a world cup with some of the best players in the world at his disposal but they still needed to be won.
Got the news I was waiting for. I've sent you a PM.
