    UEFA is the least of his concerns I expect.

    Have just seen it on Sky Sports & you do not need anymore evidence he looks bang to rights. It is all you need as a football club.

    Which is it, one of us or pissed?

    Actually in the former, you would be both.

    Oldham Athletic star Cristian Montano, 21, was also filmed discussing match-fixing in the sting.

    He was caught on tape apologising for failing to pick up a booking for cash during a game.

    Another of Sodje’s brothers, Akpo, 33, who plays for Tranmere Rovers, was also captured discussing spot-fixing.

    A third man was arrested in connection with the case today but police refused to reveal if it was Montano or Akpo.

    Not a legal expert but I wonder if you could have a civil case against him (if bung proven), contracts and all that. I dunno.

    Luckily, Sodje's red card had no affect on the actual result at Oldham. We were 1-0 down after Jose Baxter has scored for Oldham in the 11th. minute, and the score was the same in the 50th. minute when the dozy prat clearly punched the same player (Baxter) twice in the 'meat and two veg' area to receive the straight red. The final score was still 1-0 to Oldham.

    How very strange though that Cristian Montano plays for Oldham Athletic - what a coincidence, eh ?!............

    The plot thickens........

    I can't believe Spurs would want a manager who has only taken 2pts from 5 games lol
    I don't think for one minute that Pochettino would even give Spurs a second thought, especially when he is in charge of the most up and coming club in the Country 3rd eye

    Wow Possum, I didn't realise Maurie P was in charge of Crystal Palace :emoticon-0103-cool:

    If he does move to Spurs, Saints could always go for Harry Redknapp as his replacement. He enjoys a challenge :tongue:

    I was reading 'Arry's book in Waterstones today, I didn't buy it, but it did seem interesting.

    How many chapters did you get to read before they asked you to leave, meowth <laugh>

    I believe my youngest daughter is possibly buying it for me for Christmas - should be a right riveting read.

    According to the News the chapters covering his time at Pompey are, shall we say, less than the whole truth.
