They're going to end up having to appoint Ramsey, and he'll take the job knowing full well that he probably wasn't even their fifth choice.

It's kind of an "all in" gamble for him. Do well, and he'll probably salvage what's left of his credibility and convince some less than intelligent Prem (or more likely Championship) owners that he's just the guy to turn their club around. Fuck up and finish third in a two horse race and it's...

Wouldn't adapt or change. Not couldn't. He knew all along that he could get better performances out of the players he had by ditching his "process". He just chose not to. People point at that late run like it was him turning the corner as a coach. I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever that we'd...

The fact that he very obviously knew that his system was fucking stupid and we could almost immediately improve by abandoning it yet continually returned to his preferred style is probably the main reason I detest him so much. Two years of time and money wasted all so one colossal ego could...

Journalists love him. Maybe he's a good source of information?

I used to think he was little but a skull on a stick but watched him closely in one of the games where we battered them here (think it was the season Downes was here) and he actually improved my opinion of him. As targetmen go he's decent IMO. Not a great player, but not a bad one either.

We had three spells of really decent form in the league. Unbeaten in seven games between 28/09/10 and 07/11/10. Two defeats in eleven between 21/1210 & 26/02/11 (that Leeds game), and we finished on a run of two defeats in nine. We looked like a really good side in that run too with Dobbie...

I don't think his destination would be a problem when it comes to his national team. He's Luka Modric. He could probably join Cardiff and still get a Croatia call up for the World Cup.

I think the entertainment part comes closest to explaining it. No, considering the general air of doom and gloom that has surrounded the club for the last few years our league placings have, for the most part, been respectable to good, barring the mess that was Martin's first season. We've...

Also worth noting that Harry Darling, a player we gave Russy £1.5m to sign and who you'd think would be aware of how to coach him given he had done so before was in and out of the team and on a lot of people's hitlists until Martin left.

We'll split the difference and say since about the 50's/60's. Teams often used to play five forwards before then.

Teams that can't defend don't achieve. It's a fundamental rule of modern football. Get yourself a solid back line and go from there.

Innit. Palace were never going to tear Citeh apart in a dazzling display of football. They did what they needed to do to win, and in the process gave the whole competition a huge shot in the arm.

Wrexham's priority is Wrexham, as it should be. If that means fielding a team consisting entirely of Germans, then that is their right.

Hoping for a Leyton Orient promotion. Primarily for the support they gave us, unasked for, with no expectation of a return during the Petty era (kids, ask your parents), but also because I wish nothing but good things for Darren Pratley.

They have been utterly ruthless in their progress, which might work in their favour. Paul Mullin basically sidelined and now Steven Fletcher kicked to the curb.

Like Shechters?

The issue I mostly have is with people who quote, tweet, repost, whatever stats without having the first inkling of what went into generating them. The one that springs immediately to mind is the recent one with Tymon, where he apparently created the most chances of any player in the division...

The average wage in the Premier League is around £67,000 per week. Ben is an established first team player at one of the bigger clubs so it wouldn't be a huge surprise if his current salary was around the £100,000 per week mark, although he's likely to start having to take a hit on that as his...
