Oops! Mis-interpreted his post.

And, on the lighter side of the news....

What a plonker!

Well some plonker, pressed the wrong button, and l have no doubt, that on Monday am, some guy (and not the right guy, that is gurranteed) will get a card, called p45 and get re-employed by C4/5

Spurs 0 - Arsenal 0

Would not have taken that at the start of the game, certainly would have after the first half. Although both teams had a chance to steal it at the end.

Hi Damien, What ruined it for me, was the sending off, the referee allowed play to go on and then stopped, the game, l was told, that someone else told the ref, and it is was not his officials. And it could have been the revelations of Steve Bennett.

I knew it would end up 0 0, Modric could have clinched it for Spurs, BUT we need to win games, and not draws, and we are too good to go down, my hots are WBA, BLACKBURN, and STOKE.

Spurs lost their bottle after the game was in their grasp if you ask me, something Arsenal know all to well

. It was a sending off as far as I am concerned. You can't act like that with the ref..

Scolari has been sacked.

I think Scolari's departure was half expected...

End of the season perhaps, the timing seems strange to me.

I cannot believe that Chelsea, are thinking about getting Avram Grant back again, wasn't he sacked before.

I think they should go for an english manager, howabout Tony Adams, he needs a job.

Arthurgray50@blu · 09-02-2009, 16:58

We now have a situation in British football, where if the club isn't doing well you sack the manager.

Each club, fields 11 players, so therefore, they are playing for the shirt they wear, and get thousands of pounds a week, to run round for 90 minutes, therefore blame the players, managers of club have this attitude from players, ' you can't drop me, becuase of who l am ' some managers are scared to drop players, many players of todays game, think they are l'm it, and think they are untouchable, it is like at my club Spurs, some of them need a kick up the backside, and should be told, if you don't to play for Spurs, go? we are fighting relegation, so therefore, they have got to play there hearts out for the club, and many players in todays game, would not last five minutes years ago.

The manager can influence them to play, BUT they are not the ones on that pitch, the players today, just play for the money, NOT the great game of football. And what Chelsea, have to do, is drop the first team and bring in the reserves, they will probabely play better - and that is coming from a Yido.
