    Are we looking at the three relegation teams already....Sunderland need another firefighter to come to their rescue again and Swansea and Hull look doomed to me.

    Burnley and Boro will pick up enough points at home to keep their heads above the water.

    Still time for Swansea to remember how to football, though the appointment of Bradley isn't assisting matters there. Hull/Sunderland look to be utterly doomed, though...Hull barely has a team now that injuries are hitting, and Sunderland has only one attacking player of any note, paired with a defense that scarcely merits the title.

    Said at the time, Francesco was doing a good job. So, he's a little eccentric, he chain smokes, he comes in late, he hangs around at press conferences when he's been sacked, but I liked him, thought he got them playing well & fighting for everything. Make no bones, that's a limited squad they have there. But he was making a fight of it.

    Yeah, I'd go along with that. Wonder if we will see either of them on Thurs.

    The idea was to keep the stadium in use rather than just for athletics and a few events, but all this money spent could have just been used to subsidise the place. I don't know how those figures work out, but I'd be amazed if it is worth all this trouble. Olympic stadiums are always white elephants....should have bitten the bullet and admitted that we would have to subsidise it or sadly to have pulled it down and perhaps built a more manageable sports stadium which was more suitable for both football and athletics. West Ham have to make this work now....no going back.

    Was there ever an investigation into the "deal" to put West Ham in? I remember the publication of the details of their costs, however I always thought that an investigation in to how it happened we needed.

    I just can't believe that people haven't "benefited" personally from this somewhere. If they didn't they need jailing for incompetence.

    Having just returned from an ACL injury, Danny Ings has an injury on his other knee that will rule him out for the rest of the season
