In other news Pardew is about to be confirmed as Newcastle boss, unbelievable, a completely underwhelming appointment.

damn right he does ,and he's going to get some , he's just given pardew a 5 1/2 year contract ,that seems a long contract for a more successful manager

Mike Ashley is a fool and deserves all he gets.

Pardew on Newcastle:

"But it's one of the top five clubs in England. It's a daunting prospect but something I couldn't turn down."

[ChrisLUFC22]

"Something I couldn't turn down".
And the 5 and a half year contract had nothing to do with it, honest...

Absolutely shocking. There's few nice guys left in football, but Hughton seemed like one of them. Hope he takes Ashley for everything he can get out of him.

Newcastle is in the top 5 clubs in England. It's only about 50 miles from Scotland.

I do not follow football and even I know that someone called Alan Pardew has taken over the reins at Newcastle.

I suppose it was inevitable really:

Carlos Tévez stuns Manchester City by handing in transfer request after growing disenchanted with management

Carlos Tévez has rocked Manchester City by submitting a formal transfer request. The club captain and leading scorer is adamant that he wants to quit Eastlands after growing disenchanted with the management.

The 26 year-old, who signed a five-year contract on his arrival from Manchester United in July 2009, has struggled to build a relationship with chief executive Garry Cook and manager Roberto Mancini since the sacking of Mark Hughes last year.

It is understood that the written transfer request was submitted several days ago and ahead of Saturday’s 3-1 victory over West Ham United, which Tevez missed through suspension, and which lifted the club to second in the Premier League table.

The revelation that their leading player and figurehead wants to now quit exposes the tensions at City and will be a severe test for Mancini.

Question is if he will retire, move to South American football, or retire.

I`m wondering if this has anything to do with Kia Joorbachian seeing the whole Rooney incident and thinking more ££££`s for his boy.
They go on about him being "home-sick" yet in the next breath link him with Real-Madrid, Barcelona and Chelsea. Are they much closer to his family in Argentina
He goes on about respect from the manager while also complaining he is playing to much football. What about respect for the club that is paying his wages?
Bobby Moore must have turned in his grave so many times the sides are probably worn out!!!

Nah, Bobby Moore was that smooth he wouldn't even touch the sides.

Great game at the Reebok BTW.

Allardyce looking annoyed == Priceless.

[Arthurgray50@blu]

Spurs 1 Chelsea 1, WHY, do Chelsea have to play dirty, Essein should have been sent off, he was dirty, but this is Chelsea all over.

[iadom]

Looks as though Bale is after Ronaldo's reputation as a diver although Essien did catch him the first time.

More madness imo

Blackburn sack manager Allardyce
