The Football.....

Ashley mind works in ways no-one can fathom at the time...

This. But it's made him sickeningly rich, so there is clearly a method to his madness.

There are a couple of factors at play here as I see it: firstly, Rafa was not shy in criticising the hierarchy of the club, which in turn galvanised an already tight knit support behind him. Not that Ashley cares about how he's thought of by the fans, but their love of Rafa got to him I reckon and this move is born purely out of spite.

I think Ashley should've persuaded Peter Beardsley to step in... he'd've quietly turned the players around to think and work together... perhaps a bit of a gamble but worth it in the long term- bit like Ollie at Man U.

Doesn't he need to deal with outstanding racism charges brought by the FA?

Those allegations like Corbyn's racist allegations are ridiculous... but hey-ho mud sticks if you throw it long and hard enough.

Good point. I mean it's not like young footballers that weren't listened to have ever been proven to be right.

I appreciate that only a foolish person would generalise about such a subject, so in Peter's defence I never met a more caring, more impartial, quiet man who respected everyone and treated everyone the same.

Steve Bruce has been appointed head coach of Newcastle, nobody is happy about this on Tyneside, and Sheffield united are considering legal action.

What a mess.

He'll probably be sacked before the legal ramifications of his apparently unaccepted resignation have been sorted out!

Aye probably because they thought he would get Wednesday relegated this season ;-)

Jeezo, how did I manage that?! What's truly odd is I'm sure I'd written The Owls!

Can somebody check on @AndyRM , he may be in distress.

Connah's Quay Nomads put out Kilmarnock, didn't see that coming. Following on from "nearly" Welsh TNS winning last night makes two teams from the much maligned WPL progressing.

It's not often a team from my league isn't the underdog, so well done them.

I've been following Killie long enough that I'm really not surprised by what I just witnessed. Canny seats though!

And I got to see our monster truck thing too. It's bloody massive!

I've no sympathy for anyone who'd booked a trip to Belgrade. Unreal arrogance. This was just as big a game for them as it was us.
