Story

What do you guys think of the baggies sacking Megson? I thought he did a great job at West Brom.

 

[jonah]

Yeah, but the writing was on the wall after Satuday's defeat. When I saw him in the post match interview he looked a deflated man. I've heard the usuals are in line for the job; Bryan Robson, Bobby Robson, Houllier etc.

On a different note I see the clowns at Millwall are at it again
crowd trouble at Millwall

I reckon it'll be Strachan. I don't know why but I've got a feeling he might do well.

I don't give a damn about that case.More interesting is the Mutu drug case.I am so glad the idiot won't play for another 6 months or so.Arjen Robben said he wants to play in mutu's place as striker.Robben is such a class player.He played so splendidly against Blackburn.And he is so versatile that he can play anywhere in attack.

Robben ready to replace mutu upfront

I am not at all suprised about Millwall, myself and some friends considered going down to see the match but then decided quicky with playing Millwall - no way! I think problems where caused by the Millwall fans abusing chanting about Hillsborough including stuff like "Theres only one Boris Johnson".

Where i was watching the match in Liverpool it seemed the loudest cheers apart from for the goals where when the fighting was shown on TV! Also on a site I visit with some video highlights of the match last night the small clip of the crowd trouble has been downloaded more times then any of the goals!

However some people don't give a damn about the Mutu case, and are more interested in the Albion situation :

I know mate.I was saying that "I" don't give a damn about the case.

I dont care about Mutu or the WBA situation!

Dont get me started on Mike Riley again though!

Lets talk about how well Bradford are doing

 

[Ste]

Yep not doing too badly! Do you think they can stay in the top 2 and get automatic promotion back into div 1?

I think if we keep up our current form we can deffo push for it, we play Luton on Saturday so its 1st vs 2nd and with them having lost there last 3 and we having won our last 5 the odds are that they will win sadly knowing our luck, but u never know
