Tact is for people who are not witty enough to be sarcastic
That's an amazing stat. I see Shane Long only came on as a sub.

Only goal difference separates Wednesday from Ipswich who could only manage a draw at home to Peterboro. Apparently their fans were none too happy at the end. If Wednesday had any money, Brian Laws would be sacked by now as they are on an absymal run at the momentLooks like Peterboro and Plymouth for relegation and one other - on current form Wednesday.
Strachan hasn't exactly turned Boro around. Lost at home to Cardiff last night. Hornet's Watford are buzzing and hovering around the play off places.

Sad to see Laws go "by mutual consent" but when your team hasn't scored in 5 games and has dropped in to the bottom three, it's time to go. Someone like Darren Ferguson wouldn't be a bad choice. Talk of Big Ron but returning to clubs seldom works in my experience.

Alan Irvine sacked by Preston. Play offs last year. Bad run this year = sack.
I think he had turned down the WBA job in June when Mowbray left. Such is the price of loyalty.

In the Times the other day they mentioned Irvine and compared with Moyes who finished 16th with Everton followed by 4th the next year. Just goes to show how a little patience can bring reward.

Happy to see him as the Wednesday manager. I would have preferred Darren Ferguson but am pleased with Irvine's appointment. Now can he get the Owls out of trouble?

i think he will, a very good manager he was a victim of his own success at preston
Told you DeLorean Forest would be a threat this year!!!
Battered WBA on Friday.
Only one of the new managers to win this w/e with Coyle and Ferguson both losing.

Palace gone in to administration. Even with 10 point deduction they remain above the relegation zone.
Forest on an amazing run. Well done Billy Davies.
Wednesday 3 wins out of 3 under new manager Irvine. Will Scunthorpe stop that run tonight in the proverbial 6 pointer?
Ipswich draw yet again!
Interesting league even if I say so myself

Forest only had about 6 shots last night and scored 5! On a roll.
Sorry I only saw this now. You did to be fair and I thought it may have just been a bit of blind optimism because of your location. They are on an unbelievable run, scoring loads of goals at home and still, incredibly, unbeaten on their travels. Derby fans must be thinking it's the Brian Clough situation all over again having sacked Billy Davies. I am heading over next week actually, going to go to Sheffield United v Derby at Bramall Lane. By the way, I hate to burst your bubble but you also fancied Derby to make an impressionFrom what I hear they've been riddled with injuries all season in fairness. I'd like to see Derby v Forest on Saturday but it's not televised unfortunately.
I saw the goals on Sky Sports News alright, Earnshaw's celebrations were funny enough, gas character.

You have to fear for Palace, they will have to sell a lot of players this month (or the summer) including the likes of Victor Moses and Sean Scannell. It will be some feat if they can stay up.
They really need to do something about the cost of football over here in England - £25 to watch Charlton v Tranmere, a good game, decent stadium etc, but it's silly money for a match in the 3rd league.
It's 20 to watch Notts County!
I got to watch Barca for 18 euro's last year at the Nou Camp.
£20! When I was there at University (8years ago) it was £7.50 for students, it's extortion. They have to realise they could get so many more fans if they dropped the prices. The week before I saw Tranmere at Milton Keyens, it was £10* - I wouldn't have gone had they not slashed the prices.
*It was actually £10 even for away fans as well as home.
Great result of the Palace tonight, the cash injection from the Villa game can hopefully let them keep their head above water if only for a few weeks!
I really hope they can pull a rabbit out of the proverbial hat against Villa - Palace are in a do-or-die situation financially and in some ways a draw is the optimum result for them. I'm not a big fan of Warnock but have always had a soft spot for the Palace since the days of Eddie McGoldrick and Ray Houghton pulling the strings in their midfield. With Lee, Scanell and McCarthy in the reckoning at the moment it's a good team to follow from an Irish perspective.
Wolves were brutal it has to be said. Scannel was warming the bench (and not looking too happy about it) while Lee is unlikely to make the Irish team. With Warnock as their manager and with Palace a place below Wednesday is the relegation dogfight, you know where my sympathies lie.
