    Could work against us depending on who they get to take over. Will they be up for it or will they be pissed off?

    Who can they get? Can't think of anyone available who would be good for it. Hughes? McDermott?

    I assume they have a honeymoon booked for right about when we're playing them.

    What a stupid time to sack MON. It's about 4 games too late and miracles rarely happen. Can't see McClaren working wonders and looks like Kevin Ball in charge until it's sorted.

    The way the Mackems went on when they signed him as manager makes this even more hilarious.

    Oh boy, couldn't wish for anybody better for them.

    One of the videos played on the coach home featured the ginger one, can hardly understand a word he says. Good comic value though.

    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 option they had looking at the situation they're in and the direction they're heading.

    If they beat us now however, I can see us seriously struggling to stay up.

    Yes, it's looking like a lot will riding on this one. The derby to end all derbies? Poor Tash said somewhere that he gets sick with nerves before the derby anyway. He'll be a nervous wreck if our premier league survival is hanging on the result... We all will.

    Strange timing this one for me.Not many teams beat Man u so to do it after that is weird.They must have some one lined up and i'm not sure if that's good news or bad regarding the derby game.They have a tuf run of fixtures so who ever it is will have to hit the road running.

    He talks a bit like a Ventriloquist, you can hear him (can't understand him of course) but he doesn't move his lips.
