That would be the FA Premier League, would it? The Premier League is part of the FA. Although it is run separately the FA have powers of veto over PL rule changes. Sounds to me like left hand and right hand. The FA Cup replays should be before or after the break (if there is going to be one). The FA should have thought this through when they planned the dates for the Cup.

Will this still happen if we sign KWP though, which seemingly is now likely? Assuming Cedric moves on, we still have Valery who you would think would be backup for KWP. I suspect Frimpong was an alternative target and will now be passed over.

He can play LB, not RB.

No they wouldn't. He is having, at last, a purple patch. But it wasn't that long ago he was playing awfully. All most pundits do is peddle the myth of him being the great set piece specialist.

But it makes a mockery of the mid season break, the idea is to give players a complete break, i.e. 2 weeks between competitive games. I don't actually think it's necessary but if you are going to have this break then you should stick to it.

Went off after 19 minutes on New Year's Day, hasn't featured since. Injury unknown.

So that's the 'winter break' out the window. Stupid.

Rohl's role at Bayern was not a backward step. He joined in similar role to what he had at Saints and what Richard K joined as, but in a much bigger club. He also must have known the writing was on the wall for Kovac and now that Flick is in charge at least for the interim Rohl is his main assistant. Can't see why anyone would be surprised at him moving to one of the biggest clubs in the world which just happens to be in your home country. His wife apparently was not over keen on moving permanently to the UK. It was a major loss for Ralph, he thought he could get by without him but soon realised that he couldn't do it all and Kitzbichler was brought in and his influence has grown, either because he is very good, or probably more likely it has allowed Ralph to focus on what he does best, and the result is the resurgence in our form, back to, probably exceeding last season.

Thought I read somewhere that the Break might include 4th round replays, which would be a mockery of course, since it would stop teams playing lucrative friendlies during their 'week off'.

It's not like a new signing, he was already there on loan. I expe t there were terms and conditions that would have made it difficult fkr anyone else to sign him and clearly he is happy there anyway.

Has anyone told Rogers about Hoedt, we could a BOGOF.

Because they are run by Woodward, and owned by the Glazers. OGS is not the root of the problem. Still, not complaining, its nice to hear all the Moaners having a cry about not being any good. Bit like the Arse.

Was hoping Norwich could out 17 past Gazza tonight, but maybe I'm being a tad optimistic.

That was his 3rd PL yellow this season I believe. Hardly regulation.

David was posting again the other day. Good to see him back.

Making it 5 would be sweet.

But Liverpool would have 2 games in hand

As I was saying

A late equaliser for Newcstle would be nice

Let's hope he doesn't play tomorrow as well then.

Thanks. But did he walk off, hobble off, depart on a stretcher?

Anyone any views on the Cedric injury?

Given the way he has been playing its not surprising many people wanted him dropped. Just because eventually does have a good game doesn't mean that their suggestion is stupid.

You just know that is crap, don't you.

Good Post.
