Cheers. K Billy has said we're getting Black so it's probably correct. Black's hardly an upgrade and if Sammy's been binned that's very unfortunate.

Sammy Lee leaving? Where's that been posted / reported?

I think it's because he's not pellegrini.

Quite. Pellegrini's record of finishing behind Leicester despite spending a fortune, and having no track record of actual coaching or nurturing youth, apparently makes him the better man.

Coral were listing 5/1 but said the market was suspended when I tried to get on it.

Market on Pellegrini now suspended.

Good article, thanks for the link. He looks very interesting.

That's kind of like saying that you would have preferred a David moyes type over Poch when we hired him. Personally I'd take Jemez.

Could be. Schmidt would be great but I think he'll see us a sideways move - he's destined for the top. Yakin would he risky. My money's still on Paco. He's the new Poch.

Thanks, good watch.

That's where my monies going. Poch 2 IMO.

Man Utd have more wealth but look at the ffp caps. Spurs can pretty much pay what they want. They're a smaller club but if they win the league they'll have the clout to pull in the big boys.

Sure does. So calm, fantastic timing and good in the tackle. It'd be nice to bring a centre half through, been a while.

Nah. Lallana as a youngster stood out as an obvious future England player. I saw him at St Mary's against West Ham reserves when he was 17 or so create about a dozen goal scoring chances. Hesketh is capable but for me an obvious league 1 (poss championship if he knuckles down) player.

Good performance on the while. Gardos looked solid, young Jones very good as was Gallagher, Hesketh and Gape. JWP worked hard as did Reed but they didn't stand out. Targett looked awful at times although he put in some nice corners.

Interesting that his brother has a different take on it!

Not sure where you heard this. RK rates him. He didn't want to loan him to Hull last season.

Better than me! Not a thing today. Will sit out tomorrow and see what I can salvage on Friday.

I had Altior and Douvan yesterday. Tough picks today. Felix Younger yonger ew in the 330 looks interesting as does Hunters Hoof in the 250.

Crying?! Behave. A few people have merely pointed out that because of the behaviour of these idiots it's no surprise that they got banned. I'm surprised that you and a few others seem to think that their behaviour was acceptable. Each to their own.

There's no bedwetting mate. I just think it's ridiculous that people think that someone has been hard done by for getting a football banning order for throwing tables and chairs around at an away football match. Sure they came under attack and sure they were entitled to use reasonable self defence. What they weren't entitled to do is go ott. The did and that's why they were banned.

I think most people would but I doubt they'd throw tables and chairs at them. If that's what these guys did they can't complain.

Indeed. I get the need to protect yourself, but throwing chairs and tables obviously goes beyond what's reasonable. If that's what these lads did I don't understand the issue.

I've read this thread and read the UI page. I'm just about persuaded that the saints boys came under attack from punches etc. They were entitled to defend themselves. That defence should have been reasonable, ie punching etc back. As is often the case was the issue here that the self defence was not reasonable? I'm struggling to see how throwing tables and chairs around was reasonable self defence. If that's what they did they can't complain imo.

Cracking pub. Lovely food too. They do a weekend dog walk. Meet at pub for brekkie, walk then back to pub.
