    His success rate is the first 8 matches then disaster
    might just rescue them and then be sacked before he relegates them next season

    Southampton play Leicester towards the end of April - I am sure Claude Puel will be keen to win that one!

    that would be poetic

    It has to be a very big new manager 'bounce' to save a club with only eight games to do it.

    His assistants have left, and they're looking to appoint before the next PL game after the international break. I assume that the academy manager will be in charge for the QF against Wigan.

    Luton seem to be doing their best to not get promoted or at least give everyone else a chance !

    Sevilla not done badly for a "bottom 6" Premier league side" !! (Ray Wilkins)

    And we wonder why our media are seen as arrogant and insular...

    That was a really shoddy performance from Manchester United. I rate Moanrinho BUT surely they had to go for it there. United went out with a little squeak, credit to Sevilla they fully deserved it.

    Martin Allen back at Barnet for a 5th time !

    Must be some kind of record in terms of managing one club ?

    Congratulations to Brackley Town who will be playing in the FA Trophy Final at Wembley for the first time in their history. Sadly they beat Wealdstone in the two legged semi-final, but as they were the nearest team to me when I lived in Northants I am pleased to see their progress. Maybe watching the rise of WFC from the depths makes me appreciate a glorious day when one comes along.

    Always a winner and loser in such games.

    How many will they take ?

    The population of Brackley is about 15,000. A normal attendance is about 1,800 to 2,000 on a good day. No doubt people will appear who claim to be life long supporters.

    Oh yes - I am sure had Wealdstone gone there a few of our fans would have gone.

    Manager Mick McCarthy will leave Ipswich Town when his contract expires at the end of the season, the Championship club have confirmed.

    The ex-Wolves and Sunderland boss, 59, is the longest-serving manager in the division, having arrived in 2012.

    He guided the Suffolk club to the play-offs in 2014-15, and the Tractor Boys are now 12th in the second tier.

    Earlier this month, McCarthy insisted he would not leave before the summer despite criticism from some fans.

    He met with Ipswich owner Marcus Evans on Wednesday, with the pair deciding a change was "in the best interest for all parties".

    Hardly a surprise - he and the fans who like to see football played a certain way never saw eye to eye.

    Sure Big Mick will get a job elsewhere - they all do!

    I came across this stat:
    • Fulham have completed 8,718 passes in the opposition half this season, at least 1,000 more than any other Championship side.
    I wonder who goes to a game with a clicker to keep count?

    A delayed debut for Islam Slimani in a Newcastle shirt. He's on in place of Dwight Gayle.

    Just as well we didn“t get him in Jan.
