I hear Calderwood is on the way out at Forest (that's the thanks after getting promoted) with Billy Davies, Allardyce, Dowie and Boothroyd in the frame.

Watford Chairman now gone as well:

So, another South Wales derby, another round of arrests, another kick in the teeth to the reputation of Welsh football fans everywhere. The game itself was excellent - end to end, both teams going for the 3 points, couple of red cards just to add to the drama. I just wish the so-called fans wouldn't keep ruining things for the majority of people. It really is becoming a joke now.
Now the CEO Mark Ashton has also gone...:eek:Quote:

Last one out please switch off the light and put the cat out!
I propose a new board of Sligo Hornet, Moswow Mule and the Humpmeister.
I see the guy Giles unilaterally (supported by the muppet) interviewed for the Ireland job has parted company from Derby. Will Laughing Bill remind the two stooges of this? Mais non!
Wolves lose at home (but at least the Preston goals were scored by Irishmen). I hope this is just a hiccup for Wolves but strong challenges on the way from Reading and Birmingham.
any manager i have seen interviewed after his side playing reading have stated that they are the best side in the division, the watford manager on friday night (name escapes me) along with at least 2 others have said thisQuote:

I still think he would benefit more by staying one more season at Watford......but,sadly, I think he will go and Wolves would be a better move (for him and Ireland) than warming the bench at Fulham.Quote:

Yes, another Championship manager bites the dust! Glen Roeder at Norwich. I saw them in the last game of the season in Sheffield and Wednesday won 4-1. Not much spirit about them. Funny how there is a merry go round for managers. Succeed, fail, sack, new job, fail, sack, new job, fail, sack, no job.....Quote:

......everyone wants you
Shame for Roeder as he did well to get them out of trouble last year. Don't know what happened to them this year, Norwich were one of my tips for a possible play-off place.
Gunn is now the caretaker manager. Meanwhile the Owls have signed Darren Potter on loan from Wolves until the end of the season.
Really felt for the Burnley fans last night. Their first chance to visit Wembley in over 40 years and 2 and a half minutes away from getting there. To get back to 4-4 on aggregate after losing the first leg 4-1 was some achievement. Wonder why the away goal didn't count at fulltime rather than at the end of extra time :confused:
That rule has been in place for the League cup for many years.......agreed really felt for Burnley...they were fantastic...and as for Spurs....lucky b******s!!:mad:Quote:

Good news at Vicarage Road.......at last:)

Perhaps we can see a tiny piece of light at the end of the tunnel:confused:
Do I not like that! ;)
Great display, and more importantly, result for the Hornets last night:), against a fashionable Swansea who were unbeaten in 16 games.................sadly the joy was tempered by that unhelpful lot in Sheffield not putting the sword to the Tykes:(
Wednesday on a downward spiral and Mick's Wolves also starting to wobble. I can see it all going:
http://www.newscientist.com/blog/las...ear-776051.jpg
I heard the Wolves fans were abusive after their latest defeat. Bloody hell - top of the league and still moaning. I do hope Wolves and Reading go up to the PL because of the Irish connection. Forest-Derby this weekend. Was contemplating about going but for 30quid and no Irish players on show (unless they play Moloney) it doesn't seem good value. Man City-Boro over a week ago cost us 19 quid.....
Watford win and Wednesday score 4 away from home. What's that I see ? No it can't be!
http://bbq.isgoodfor.us/wp-content/FlyingPigs.jpg
Wolves lose again. Lucky for Mick their nearest challengers slipped up as well.
Weren't flying after all :(
http://www.melanieweststudio.com/res...eeping-Pig.jpg
Both Watford and Wednesday lose but at least the Irish scored against the latter.
Mick's Wolves also win at last.
Hornets seemed too casual last night.....changed 5 from saturday...why?

The top of the Championship is really strange. If one of the top 3 drops a point, so it appears do the other 2. If one wins, so do the other 2. If one loses etc etc. Only wins for Wolves and Reading lately were against Wednesday, who incidentally conceded yet another 90th minute equaliser, this time against Preston :mad:
Easy 3 points for the Hornets this weekend who are on a roll with another 3 last night?

5 wins in 6 games, and the form is really good......a fair result last night would have (and should have) been 4-1, or 5-1
I think we will win saturday but it will be close.......3-0 or 3-1;)
Closer to 4-2 I'd say.Quote:

Similar to the question about the four (or five; can't remember) teams who start and end with the same letter. Charlton Athletic is the answer to your question.Quote:

But in injury time, Jon Harley fouled Jermaine Johnson in the box and Jeffers stepped up to smash home the penalty.
Wednesday usually concede in injury time not score:D
Charlton Athletic, York City, Aston Villa, Liverpool and one other I think.Quote:
