Sounds like Rodwell may have earned a contract, if he wants it. I'd like to think the risk was worth it and he won't do a Gresko.

Go on Benny B. I hope this will suddenly break the curse and he becomes a new Shearer (either will do).

I was not aware Skype was 'beyond babyish'. Then again I am not a Barry Homeowner and have never used LinkedIn, or any professional, adult networking/communication tools. I agree with the last few posts you did, and I think we will be disappointed by the stupid and slow way Venkys go about their business.

Yes, I forgot Madame was the real power. Still, it is odd and stupid that you have to get on a plane some time after the season, and then decide to look for players etc. when technology is there to do it more efficiently.

And why can't it be done tomorrow via Skype or suchlike in that time? Does Balaji prefer managers to see his side boobs in person? Real teams would probably be looking around for players now, whilst there are still games to watch.

Must be something about today as the IPL game between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super kings ended the same way. CSK were dead and buried with two overs to go but Dhoni went mental.

Sounds like a new keeper is needed. If it was at all possible, would anyone consider one of the dingle's keepers? Or is that a step too far?

I'm sure the football league will think about doing Bolton a few favours if they screw up off the pitch again. As for the Saviles losing to Wigan, that is good. I'd say Aston Vile are looking good for winning the play offs.

I call bullshit on SISU and Coventry City. At every turn they have taken money out of the club, completely sold off the squad and I don't think finishing in or near the play offs in our division is struggling. And Rovers didn't go to league 2 after several years in league 1. SISU tried to buy 50% of the Ricoh through the club's holding company, which was in receivership. They have almost killed the club completely, mismanaged the ground situation and have basically kept the club on life support whilst selling organs on the black market.

Football lost just because Man City didn't go through. Sorry for being so direct and rude but what utter nonsense. That one game was the best thing to happen to a usually predictable and moribund tournament. It was amazing and I can't suggest what else to replace away goals. Combined transfermarket sqaud values, with the highest value winning? Aggregate possession percentage? And now Spurs will be without Son, Kane and possibly Sissoko for the first leg against Ajax. Don't let us down Ajax.

De Ligt certainly looked worthy of the hype last night. He was amazing. It's a shame football is as bad as Formula one for the big teams with billionaire backers can click their fingers and get these players. I'd have loved to see a revived Ajax with their young players being a major force again.

He must be out shagging then. He was winning everything except the Ryder cup when he was chasing anything with a vagina, and only stopped when it all came out.

I've always avoided the two mentioned Weapons as they smash me all the time, though I am currently trying to get Knights of the Round and Mime maxxed out. As for the cross dressing bit, I think that's going to be dropped so people don't get upset about it. I think I read that when the remake was first announced.

Play too many 3rd division players and you'll end up there again. Mowbray is rapidly undoing his achievements and putting us back where we were under Coyle.

Since Tony is staying, as we all know he is the next window will decide exactly what path the club is on. If he balls it up and doesn't (or is not allowed to) address the defensive issues then we'll have a pretty dire season. His reputation is at stake.

I'd say Wagner or Jokanovic. Hughes would be a heart over head appointment as he's been iffy since that last season at Stoke.

Back to watching homes under the hammer with Casper and the fat lass then. All of us could see Steve being a massive failure yet he still gets a job.

That sounds a good idea. Keep him as a young Tony Parkes. We need a dynamic, younger manager but like you say, Venkys will probably hire Dunn or some pillock who has no hope like Coyle.

Go. It seems that Tony is a decent enough man but he is too loyal to certain players, uses odd tactics and doesn't see problems with the squad in terms of quality. It's no point giving him next season as I doubt he would buy a better defender or goalkeeper or if he did, they'd be on the bench. I'm reluctant to give Johnson the job, so I'll have to see who is available as a replacement.

There are a few decent players, but the defending can be pretty comical at times. Unless we're talking about Central Coast Mariners, who are simply worse than Accrington Stanley's reserves.

Is it 10 losses out of 11? That's pretty shocking form, and the loyalty towards players who are not up to the task is baffling.

Now I am in the sack camp. Of course Venkys could then hire Michael McIntyre with Lembit Opik as director of football but as soon as the final game is over Tony should go. He did his job in getting promoted, so now we need someone with a proper strategy on the pitch, and new coaches. Things are grinding to a halt and players who are not good enough are too comfortable.

Did you get your psychology degree in The University of Life Sparks Rover?

That'll solve Bolton's problems, another plum with no money. As for the badge, keep it. Otherwise it'll end up looking like some borough council logo like Fulham or Balaji Rao's side boob.

I was a real critic of Southgate and Sterling, but I am brave enough to admit I was wrong. The former really has improved and learned from his brief club managerial career, and the latter has really matured as a player and a person. It may only be a mediocre Czech Republic team, but how many times have England had a lucky 2-1 win after a poor performance against such a team?
