Preston have sacked Irvine. blink.gif I thought he'd done well for them. huh.gif


He had : though recent form wasn't terribly stellar. Still seems a harsh sacking...


TBH I can't see their form suddenly shooting uo due to a new manager.....

Bolton have sacked Megson, which isn't a surprise.

Portsmouth seem to have run into more problems finance-wise ( thereThere.gif ChevvyChev)

but, most bizarely, a certain Magpie who has a less than good reputation behaviour-wise has started lecturing about the lifestyle of other players. wacko.gif Methinks he's perhaps trying to create a 'reformed' image in order to promote his chances in the transfer window. ph34r.gif

Portsmouth, sadly, are in a mess. I expect more sales in January, and, much as (for Chev's sake) I'd like to seem them stay up, I don't think it'll happen...

Looks like we're going to have quite a forum gathering in the Championship next year. Not sure if that gets a smile.gif or a sad.gif. It's sad.gif for Boro, but will be smile.gif for Charlton and Leeds.

Today has some high scores. ohmy.gif
Rangers 7-1 Dundee. blink.gif blink.gif
Pompey 1-4 Arsenal
ManU 5-0 Wigan

A good win for us tonight, but I don't give much for Pompey's chances - their defence was very poor for at least two of our goals (three if you count the deflected first goal).

They aren't as doomed as poor Darlo seem to be down at the bottom of league 2. Darlo are on 8 points with a goal difference of -35. sad.gif

We also currently only own one fit stiker who is allowed to play, and he's the 16 year old lad who Strachan doesn't want to play against Man City because he doesn't want to destroy his confidence. We desperately need strikers. mellow.gif

go leeds today!

I suppot them as a second team because it is the team my dad supported and still does. This was because he was born in Leeds a mere 66 years ago.

I apologise in advance for bringing up a Scottish football issue again, but it looks as though Dundee United may be about to appoint Pat Fenlon (current Bohemians manager) as their new manager. I've never heard of him before! I wondered if anyone on the forums knows anything about him? I just hope he can get United back on track again soon unsure.gif .

Grrr! Pat Fenlon!! mad.gif

Sorry, I'm a Cork City supporter (or hopefully will still be, if we still have a team next season), so there's a bit of a history of Pat Fenlon being regarded as a villain. All partisan feelings aside though, he has an excellent record as a manager, has won titles here with both Bohemians and previously with Shelbourne too. Bohs have been the team to beat under his management definitely. smile.gif
mr bean
I hope he manages to be a villain in the SPL too! tongue.gif I've just been reading a bit about him and he does seem highly recommended by a number of people. Apparently, Bohemians want at least £240,000 compensation for Fenlon, but he thinks he can have this 'written off' as a result of unpaid bonuses he claims he is due from them. An intriguing predicament! It will be interesting to see if the deal goes through.
