    How important is a manager anyway?

    On the flip side to Fergie, we all know how long it's been since Arsenal won a cup, they've had fantastic players, Fabregas, Nasri, Cazorla, Cole, Vermaelen and RVP to name but a few, yet the only thing they've had in common since their last win is Wenger. You can't tell me they've not had a...

    UEFA plan 10 match ban for racist abuse

    From another point of view, a bad tackle is a bad tackle, it can happen to a black player, a white player, a muslim player, an asian player, anyone. Unless you specifically go in and think, I'm gonna break that black blokes leg because I don't like black people, a bad tackle is something that...

    Is Mapou the real deal?

    The art of defending has changed. The defenders in there haven't. John Terry, Rio Ferdinand, Joleon Lescott (Basically English defenders) are the older style. Kompany is one of the few in the league and Mapou is similar to him imo, though obviously still young so not at that level. Thiago Silva...

    Sunderland sack O'Neill!

    The problem is, there's never a right time. If they'd stayed up they couldn't sack him because he'd have done what he had to. If they'd gone down then it was too late, so you're in a no win situation by waiting till the end of the season. The gamble, and it is a big gamble, was the only real...

    El-Hadji Ba

    Graham Carr was watching France under 20's? Oh my, shock horror, it MUST be for this guy. Media just throwing our name in there to make it look like there's competition for him imo. I'd be amazed if there was any French international game we've not had a scout at for the past 3 or 4 years...

    If McManaman gets anywhere near the squad, please please give him the torrent of abuse he deserves.

    No Charge for McManaman

    I would like to make a complaint in regards to the FA's failure to impose a post match ban on Wigan Athletics Callum McManaman following the incident involving Newcastle Uniteds Massadio Haidara at the weekend. In failing to impose a ban, I believe the FA have brought the game into disrepute, by...

    No Charge for McManaman

    Go here. I believe it's an independent complaints commission type thing for the FA. I'm writing an email of complaint, I'll post what I send them here once I'm done. http://www.theifo.co.uk/contact-us.html

    Referee 2 - Newcastle 1- there has to be an investigation surely?

    I think that the argument that he's sorry and that there was absolutely no malice involved is a little shallow. He knew from the contact he made that he could have seriously hurt the player, so why did he attempt to play on? Any honest player would surely stop playing and immediately draw...

    Referee 2 - Newcastle 1- there has to be an investigation surely?

    I agree Perch got off lightly and could've seen a second yellow, but there was no way he could send off one of our players after what Mcmanaman did, you see it often, when a ref knows he's made the wrong decision and tries to compensate. Also consider Perch wouldn't even be on the pitch if...

    Cabaye for me. Wasn't he Lille captain when they won the league?
