St Chalet

No idea, that's why we employ a professional manager.

Villa look gash, bit more poise up front and we will stroll this.

Ossis on for JWP.

FWIW I think we will still win.

Oh FFS.

Wouldn't surprise me. I think Simon Peach was the first to tweet followed by Solent. It does make you wonder though. With all the saliva tests and mattress hoovering, why a premier league level backup for an essential position hasn't been sourced.

The difference for me was emphasised in Chelsea's second goal. Boruc would have been better positioned and secondly gone for the ball with his left hand, not his right. Boruc is International Class, Gazza has yet to prove he is Prem class.

Anyone got Casey Keller's number?

By my reckoning that's 7-8 league matches. Big chance for Gazza.

No.

Oh ****!

Agree, but Chelsea are pressing us as like we've been doing to others all season.

We have defended well as a unit and Boruc has redeemed himself for last week. Last 10 minutes we started to get a lot more space to counter attack. Osvaldo is a willing runner, but wants too many touches. Adam looks a little off the pace. I'd freshen up with Lambert and Davis after 60 minutes. Midfield is solid, if a little wasteful from Wanyama. Think we need another goal.

Decent start!

Again, nice article. prefer being quiet punchy underdogs.

To be fair to Turkish he has a reasonable opinion on football and despite his fishing trips is a Saints fan. Not convinced that some others fall into that same category. Anyway, having waded through the BS on here (see what I did there) I have to say what an interesting article it was. It does strike me that we have developed much of the professionalism demonstrated in Rugby by Woodward, Cycling by Brailsford and Cricket by Flower. Premiership football is such a marginal game, these little things could be the difference.

Perfect, from the jaws of Bears.

Agree.

Hoping the good folk of Hartlepool are prepared for the Bestest TM fans in the world today. I hope they won't be overawed by what after all is a massive massive club.

The timings are the Express FM radio show http://www.expressfm.com/local/podcasts/the-football-hour-933450/

No need to guess, he was on a one year rolling contract. The usual interpretation of this is that he would be due a years notice. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22264435 McInnes "We are in a position to pay compensation to our outgoing manager" 39:25 Followed by the bombshell that they are "talking to people in employment". Add tapping up to the charge sheet I reckon.

So you don't actually know.... During the interview they allude to the fact he is no longer manager, was sent away to think about it but when he does come back to the football club his role "will PROBABLY not be on an employed basis". Sounds to me he is tending his garden. Listen from 30:20 to hear for yourself or just continue to keep picking at my posts with unreferenced arguments.

Very noble. My point is that he isn't going to sit in his hands whilst these two jokers go on local radio and criticise him and happily give a blow by blow account of how he begged to keep his job. One assumes he is owed something, he'd be mad to comment until he has received that.

This is Nutjob Gold. How low-rent are they talking about how they binned Guy? Safe to assume there is no NDA in place, can't wait until Guy's last pay cheque is through.

See Micah is blocking people for daring to quote his bosses to contradict his view. This is funnier than Chanrai.
