The Football.....

[Spartak]

So Wolves sacked McCarthy, QPR sacked Warnock and looks like both clubs could be going down.
But whose going to join them Bolton, Wigan or Blackburn ?
Each clubs chairman have kept faith all season, during very testing times !

That is an interesting point. Although I think QPR will scape the drop.

I hope Wigan survives relegation again.

Amazing to hear Mancini say Ballotelli won't be played for the rest of the season, and that he'd be quite happy to get shot of him. Not that you could disagree. The man is a disgrace. That first tackle yesterday was horrible. Ans then the %^£^*%$£%% follows up by carrying on in the same vein for the rest of the match? He's a thug, and a genuine threat to the career of any player who shares a field with him.

Ballotelli should have been booked 5 - 10 mins before his lunge on Song, for kicking the ball into the crowd, after play stopped for him being offside. The only bad thing about yesterdays result, RVP (hasn't scored in 3 now) didn't score, he's my FA fantasy football captain.

Football today is crap.The owners of Man City looked a happy bunch in the stands yesterday.For one i am glad that money has not bought them the title.

Mancini continually berates Balotelli (with some reason) but he's the man, who against all advice, wasted £23m on him, selects him frequently and uses him as a scapegoat to conceal his own errors and failings IMO.
Mancini has overseen a 'team' assembled with money and is riven by strife and internal wrangling. The list of in-fighting is endless from training ground punch-ups to Tevez refusing to go on as sub.
It's good to see that money can't necessarily buy success and it shows, whatever you may think of United and Ferguson, that a team with spirit and cohesion can over achieve.

I think (and hope) that QPR will go down. I think Wigan will stay up, they are playing good football and had the confidence to take the game to Chelsea, they were excellent. They might need 4-6 points from their last 2 games but whatever they need, I think they'll get. Toss up between Bolton & Blackburn.

But it is money that provides all the titles in all the top leagues. I think football today is better than it has ever been.

Try watching the rubbish served up in the seventies and eighties before you say that.

I thought City were well outplayed by Arsenal, you would not have guessed that they needed to win! With the same squad they'd fail next year too, there isn''t a "team" there, when Arsenal got on top they fell apart very quickly.

QPR sacked Warnock and then got a glamour manager with glamour agent and some glamour signings. A shed load of wage cash wasted on the wrong players, unwanted players that the selling clubs were more than happy to let leave. Going down.

Mark Hughes, a glamour manager? Glamour signings in the shape of Joey Barton? Don't think so. Our signings were made of desperation, given the time we had left after Ecclestone and Briatore left the club to Fernandes. Nothing glamour about it at all, less still the last 10 years at Loftus Road.

I do believe you may be confusing us with Man City or Chelsea perhaps.

Great win for Norwich at Spurs today! I was down there the last time we turned them over - must have been 20 years ago now!! May enjoy an ale or two tonight to celebrate.

A great result indeed.
Very grateful for that.
If we beat our neighbours later by 2 goals we jump above the vile Spurtz in the table

Newcastle have a great chance of fourth place now, Spurs are looking increasingly fragile.

And my second team, Dagenham and Redbridge are hauling themselves to safety in League Two after looking doomed a few months ago.
