    From what I read it wasn’t that Eustace was sacked, more he wanted to go for the Rangers job. Guess time will tell to see if he gets that job

    Millwall have sacked Gary Rowett. Some whispers that it could be the best manager in Europe, statistically, that's coming in. Let's hope we go down to ten against them.

    I think we're far more likely to lose to a Jones team than a Rowett one personally. Seems like the style will be perfect to play against us.

    Without checking would be confident in guessing he's got a good record against Martin.

    I said earlier this year that it was obvious this would happen at some point.

    Lol decided to Google Russel Martin v Nathan Jones and the following is an excerpt from one of the top results:


    "Yet another disaster for slow thinking Swansea City and Russell Martin

    Nathan Jones has yet again been the master of disaster when it comes to Swansea City. His overall match day tactics and strategy won this game for his side. Even before the game the warning signs were there as Luton came in search of their first win of the season.

    The home Swansea City support will once again be increasing in their anger and frustration as yet another game ticked by with little to cheer about at the swansea.com stadium. With Luton manager Nathan Jones the disruptive influence the hatters did more than enough to deserve the plaudits from this game. Tactically Jones got it right, and sadly once again swans manager Russell Martin didn’t. The slow training game pace was really all that summed up the first half as Luton were more than capable of swallowing up all that the swans had on the table. And it wasn’t enough."

    Jesus. It’s like he hasn’t learned at all. Mind you we’re unbeaten in 3, perhaps he’s discovering what to do when teams work us out. One can hope…

    Rotherham v Ipswich off due to flooding near the stadium. Feel for the Ipswich fans who had made the trip.

    Rooney looks nearer 48 than his real.age of 38! In fact he looks older than Beckham who is a decade older.

    I'm a couple months older than Rooney, and I take heart in the fact that I don't look like a 55 year old fishing boat captain, as he does.
