    Have to agree FML. So I wonder which ‘failed’ manager will get the job and I can’t imagine there will be a rush of applicants.

    Mark Hughes and Pardew should be looking at a club like Derby, Birmingham, Sheffield Wed.

    A big club, but ones that regularly fail to gain promotion or progression. They should be aiming for them, but probably more suited to a team like Wigan and Reading.

    Mark Hughes's Derby - yes, has a nice ring to it! <ok>

    FA Cup 3rd round draw 7.30 this evening on BBC1 - we're ball no 28.
    I'd quite like a home tie against a lower league club, so that I could take my 9-year-old granddaughter, as she loves football and plays for Wymondham under 10 girls.

    Edit - We are home to Portsmouth. #cracking.

    If Paul Lambert Keeps losing than maybe Mark Hughes the next Ipswich manager?

    Reasonably tough draw with Pompey top of L1, and one that should draw a near capacity crowd

    Robin Sainty ‘spills the beans’ on Ed Balls. I’ve always maintained that he was ‘the driver’ behind the idea of Sporting Director/Head Coach setup
    'In reality, his contribution was immense, not least in overseeing the difficult transition from the riches of the Premier League to the post parachute payment era and playing a significant role in the move to our current management system.'

    What if United put a late run of form together and finish 5th?

    Man City walk the title, United get Champions League instead of them!

    Wouldn’t that be SO José!

    In fairness we did put up a creditable fight last season. Pompey won't be easy but if you look at the league cup, we seem to actually give a monkey's so hope springs for a little bit of a cup run to keep the squad a little sharper.

    Bah!

    Love that goal. Watched it a few times at the weekend. The confidence and skill of it.

    Poxy Talksport may choose to ignore Lewis, Aarons, Cantwell etc - but you can bet a lot of people in the game who actually matter won't be doing so <yikes>
