    I see that Nathan Ellington has gone on loan to Scunthorpe. He has yet to score for Ipswich.

    Roberto di Matteo has left Chelsea, Brendon Rodgers has already said his integrity is being questioned and he will not leave Everton, no Liverpool.

    How long will the next Chelsea manager get?

    Apart from for the good money for wages any would be made to take the role...

    They won't go for Zola I guess!

    My colleague thinks that they'll have an interim manager for the rest of this season and try and get Guardiola in the summer.

    In the statement they have said they will announce something on the new manager 'shortly', implying that it's all set to go - which is a bigger insult to RDM, after what he did for them last season!

    Rumour is it is Benitez until the end of the season, in the hope they'd get Guardiola. Would love Pep to reject them after the way they treat their managers!

    Chelsea have got Man City at the weekend...doesn't seem very bright to sack him before such an important match, especially as he was so popular with the players. I wonder if it will have an affect on their performance...with or without the new man in place...

    In lesser news... Leeds have now been taken over! Can see them strengthening quite a bit now, so glad we played them when we did!

    Have a look at the 'foul' that caused the ref to stop play in the first place - Shakthar deserved to be awarded the goal after that travesty by the Nordjaellands player.

    What foul? There was no free kick and the drop ball was uncontested by Nordsjaelland as Shakhtar had the ball when play was stopped due to an injury caused in an accidental collision. As the ref didn't see the collision, he had to stop the game as he couldn't immediately see what the injury was.

    It's Arsenal v Sheffield United at Highbury again - although on that occasion the goal was the winner, so Arsenal graciously offered to replay the match.

    OK - bad choice of words (but I did put it in inverted commas). But there was no collision involving the Nordsjaelland player's face - and he quite clearly tried to con the ref by clutching his face.

    Perhaps Adriano was not playing to the spirit but he was playing to the rules. The player who fell on the floor was looking to win an advantage by cheating and the referee was right to continue the play. He made a mistake stopping the game so the cheating player could be treated for his nonexisting injury. When the ball was dropped the Shakhtar player kicked the ball into Nordsjaellands half, which may have given Nordsjaelland an advantage. It is not Adrianos fault if nobody went to get the ball, except him. There would be no comment if either a defending player had bothered to collect the ball or Adriano had not scored a goal.
