Who is this guy? Saw this football blog here that reckons Kenyons departure will spark a Chelsea collapse. Hard to see I know as they stand top of the League with a 100% record. But the African Nations will be crucial in January and if they can't being anyone in, you never know what will...

I've never known that much time added on for celebrations, there weren't even that 'excessive', its just a handy excuse for the referee to use, Its a shame cos it was a great game and a performance deserving of a point but to lose n the 6th minute of "4" minutes added on is just typical of what...

Yeah that about sums it up,it takes a while for it all to sink in, there is no better feeling in football than scoring in the last minute and no worse feeling than conceding in the last seconds. So to have them both within a minute of each other (or however long Fergie made the referee add on)...

Re: Twatini That pretty much sums it up, its like well I spent my money to reap the benefits of Champions League football but I don't want to spend anymore, so the have climbed the ladder and pulled it away so no one else can get there. If they were so serious on this then they should come...

My new favourite!

you know they will find some fool with a blue wig and a painted face, anyone that suits the 'sky football fan' image they have created over the past 15 years....

Good point, the amount of abuse he has had to put up with, I don't blame him for rubbing it in when he scored! I think fans want it both ways sometimes, they will hurl abuse at players for 90 minutes but a s soon as they player does anything back they cry off to the FA

I'm sure the FA can't do anything about the celebration as he has already been booked by the ref, if they did then they would be setting a precedent, as everything would then be looked at after the game. Six match ban would be harsh and purely because the media hype, but I expect a three match...

The stamp will get him a lengthy ban and although I don't think they can dish out a ban for the celebration (as the ref saw the incident and booked him) it will not out the FA bods in a good mood when they come to decide how man matches he will have to miss. But as a previous poster said, he...

That pretty much sums it up, It like if you feel in a clever mood you buy a broadsheet paper and think you're all intellectual, but if you not really in a thinking mood and just want to look at the pictures you buy a tabloid.....

But surely Jack Straw doesn't go about pardoning people every other day? There must strong enough evidence for him to believe he is innocent, The whole thing is confusing and clouded in mystery, I doubt we will ever find out what really happened.

How can they judge?? It September FFS!!!! If they turn out to be rubbish then they may have a case but considering we have so much cash it is with little risk anyway, we just buy someone else. It is just another way to try and get at City because we have so much money and good players now.

I don't blame him for quitting then, I think we will get more benefit out of him not playing (in terms of fitness, injuries etc..) than we we would him playing with international players every other summer. I'm sure he wants rid of the speculation too but until people hear definitively what...

Can anyone enlighten me on this 'bullying' rumour? I thought it was because his girlfriend had a miscarriage but he covered it up by saying his gran had died??

I agree, It isn't just the injuries it is all the travelling too. These games go on all over the world so some of our players will only be getting back to the training ground on the Friday before a game, how Hughes is expected to prepare I don't know. Ireland's decision is great news, free to...

It's a risk, but now he has retired there isn't much they can do about it. Plus I'm sure he feels including will drum up a nice bit of publicity and sell more copies of his book. Players always have these amazing revelations in order to plug their autobiography's. And even if he was sacked...

He was a good player in a average side but as a previous poster said he is not good enough for where we are going. He could have sat on the bench and waited for his testimonial, he would have been a useful sub to have. But at his stage of his career he needs to be playing first team football so...

I definitely think we have a chance. Even though we have s smallish squad we have a big advantage in that we aren't in Europe so we can focus on the league. Plus if we get any injuries in we can simply top up the squad with more quality players in the January transfer window. I see no reason...

Good point, too often in the past we have had loads of deadwood reserve players clogging up the squad. Hughes has gone for quality not quantity, plus if we do get a few injuries I'm sure he can top things up in January, and as a previous poster said, if we get back into Europe next year the...

Exactly, this has opened a whole can of worms. By banning Eduardo they have set a massive precedent. Any dive in the area (and lets face it there will be a lot of them in the coming months) will now be highlighted and UEFA will be expected to dish out the same punishment. If they do, then...
