    Agreed, no wonder that the Newcastle fans are less than amused. He's proven multiple times that he is Championship level at best, but I guess that in the current environment at that club most decent managers would swerve the role so they only have the dregs to hire from.

    Er....I doubt Ashley could attract a manager who’s looking to improve his CV but anyone who wants to fill their pockets with cash please form an orderly queue over there, underneath the sign, over rated, unemployed and willing to take it up my ar5e for the chairman

    yeah. bruce's kind always string it out. first season 15th place, second season just above relegation, 3million pound pay off, Mark Hughes straight in to follow the pattern.

    But Hughes is even crapper. At least 'Brucey no bonus' has managed a couple of clubs to promotion.

    The world has noticed: Fort William FC has won a game. First since 2017. Ok, is a cup game but happy days. FWFC have lost their first 2 league games of the season, of course...

    Seems BBC Scotland did a docu on FWFC's last season, on iPlayer I believe, I need to check it out.

    But you don't ride your bike at 10pm ish when MOTD is on or any late evening with 5 mins to spare in winter.
    You have plenty of time to come in here :D

    I watched that documentary BTW.

    I'd say odds are about 50/50 that Oil and Kolasinac are waiting on a move rather than new security worries.

    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

    Chelski lose, Championship manager. Championship players. Championship performance.

    I wonder if Chelski fans are looking for three worse teams than themselves to go down

    I overheard a Chelsea fan at work, the loss of Hazard came up and he said whilst he was the main scoring threat at least they'd still have a solid defence. I wonder what he'll say tomorrow.
