I'm still tipping Bordeaux for the final.

I've tipped Benfica to win the Europa, so drawing the Reds is the last thing I wanted!

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/footba ... amily.html The editorial in the latest edition of Red Issue claims that, ‘The chants all tell how the Glazers are gonna (sic) die, yet in reality they’re free to walk out of the ground unchallenged. Until that changes, nothing will. Rather than MUST frittering away £65,000 on some American lobbying agency, that sort of money would be better spent on flying some passionate anti-Glazer supporters to Florida to show Joel (Glazer) & Co the strength of Reds’ feeling in person.’ I can't quite see where that says they are advocating physical intimidation but I do agree that it hints at a split between the United fans wanting rid of the Glazers. Thoughts? Liverpool on the other hand: Other supporters, though, have taken direct action against Hicks and Gillett, too, including the launch of a viral email sent to several executives at RBS, the club’s bankers. Fairly embarrassing TBH.

Championship standard manager replaced by Championship standard manager in unimproved result shocker!!

Re: More football chat : Sat Mar 20, 2010 4:55 pm  

Wigan Latics score in 3rd minute of added time.

Re: More football chat : Sat Mar 20, 2010 8:50 pm  

Thats Hull and Burnley as good as gone now too. Would be shocked if either survive.

Arsenals win is great for the neutral. A three horse race will make better viewing. Feel Chelsea and Utd may edge ahead in the coming weeks though.

Spurs are in a healthy position for forth but not a great result for Villa.

Tomorrow could be a defining day in PL title race and battle for 4th.

Sticking with Hull City, Burnley, Portsmouth as my bottom 3.
Still think Liverpool will get 4th.
Title?... What a run in it's going to be!

Brian Laws last 21 games in management W 1 D 3 L 17. Still amazes me he got a premiership job. How many managers could go from being in charge of a struggling Championship club to a Premiership club?

TBH Brian Laws and the Burnley job are a very good fit. The Burnley job is a hiding to nothing, Brain Laws had pretty much nothing left to lose.

It's not like Burnley would have a large or decent choice in who takes them back to the Championship.
