The gall of Sky to put McAnuff on after what he's said.

There are no police choppers when transporting convicted criminals. Why do we have them today? What do they think is going to happen? Overpower the driver and stop the bus?

Solanke header but the goalkeeper didn't seem to move.

I'm sure they have a lot of scar tissue to heal. How much did they spend last window?

If RDZ is dismissed, who would they? Spurs seem to have an endless carousel of managers.

Been saying since the first relegation that the PL is boring. Little jeopardy, few surprises.

No way they're getting a third relegation surely? Their fans seem to think so.

The Brothers Charles are made of something else.

I've just listened to his interview from this evening. Adam mentions that it's common knowledge this happens. Jobi refutes it. He refuses to acknowledge that it happens because it doesn't fit within his ideology. He prevaricates a bit but doesn't acknowledge it. Grandstanding doesn't make the problem go away. I strongly disagree with cheating, dishonesty and poor sportsmanship and wish it didn't happen.

Jobi McAnuff is a miserable sod isn’t he.

Let’s some away wins on the board first.

126. Before dealing with the various points that have been advanced by Mr Harris as mitigation, we must make some observations on Mr Eckert as a witness before us. We are mindful that in the League Arbitration Panel, The Rt Hon Sir Gary Hickinbottom noted that the EFL Disciplinary Commission were “unimpressed” with some of the Club’s witnesses, including Mr Eckert, suggesting they were unaware the observations were in breach of EFL Regulations for various stated reasons. We also note that the EFL Commission were not persuaded that the information from the observations had not been of much use, a point we have not concentrated on because we do not consider that whether or not the information was or was not useful takes away from the seriousness of the offences (or offers mitigation), which in the case of Mr Eckert concentrates on his requesting observation in the Oxford United F.C. Incident and the Middlesbrough F.C. Incident and authorising receipt of CCTV in the Ipswich Town F.C. Incident. 127. Mindful of the findings below, we nonetheless found Mr Eckert to be a particularly impressive witness. That another Commission, on another day, were unimpressed with some of his evidence is a matter we have considered, but it does not alter our impression of him as a very impressive witness in the evidence he gave to us, both in writing but particularly during the hearing. 128. It was evident to the Commission that Mr Eckert has reflected very deeply and seriously on what had happened, including not simply reading all the EFL Regulations so he was aware of them, but going to quite extraordinary lengths not simply to learn the Rules but also to understand why the Rules are as they are, including seeking to understand the differences in culture between what happens in this country and what happens in countries where he had worked previously. ——— This highlights, as many were suggesting, the differences between the panels.

Tonda so pumped he’ll probably take on Pompey and Boro at the same time in a 3 way match.

A long time to what might be the “right decision?”

£28k is whack of money to me but it’s not that much in the professional sport industry.

Should we all just forget this, assume nothing is happening any time soon?

I’ve felt in the last few home matches that Peretz hasn’t been quite so sharp.

Some astonishing defending really.

Is this where we are now, that most of the interntional matches are Pay Per View?

Have it on good authority I have no idea what will happen.

Ben Garner might turn out to be good.

Simon Jordan has gone up in my estimation after I thought he put some reasoned points across at the time.

Should it be 6 months or greater, he's getting sacked surely? Are the club really going to pay him for 6 months to do nothing or hire another manager to move on from it. Presumably the contract would be void through the freelance equivalent of 'gross misconduct', no gardening leave?

Or maybe the FIFA one?
