Dreadful game at the John McAlpharm this afternoon, notable only for the ref booking Jeremy Helan twice and not sending him off. Muppet.

Great weekend so far. I somehow managed to have only three players of my Fantasy Football 15 playing this weekend, but am on 27 points, which isn't bad. A couple of the lads in the work league who had full 11s playing bar the odd Everton/Chelsea players are on single figures.

yep, struggling at the bottom but in the higher division thanks to Clark who did the groundwork - even the Venkeys could have got them promotion ! Clark would have done it without the playoffs IMO

Is this the same Clark who has Birmingham hurtling towards League 1??....

The truth is, he's not all that was made out at Huddersfield....He bottled the play offs when he was there, Grayson managed to do it.

Great to see Villa being consistently turd for a third successive game.

MASSIVE win for Wigan today. Hopefully the confidence boost the players need after not being rewarded for their performances enough.
