Updates

What a first half down @ the lane, Pav missed two sitters then scores a screaming header, great play by wide boy Bale, Pav then made his way to the fans and gestured an apology to them for the earlier f**k ups. City & Birmingham has been dull, Birmingham have set their team out well, and city just can't find away through although Carlos did have the ball in the net but it was abit of that hand of god shit going on in the build up, Bolton started strong, but have since just been playing with what can be only described as a hot potato no one has taken the game by the scruff of the neck!

Saturday afternoons in a working class living room

The chair is warm, remote in one hand with the laptop on the arm of the chair, flicking through channels and websites simultaneously looking for the latest updates, news with regards to the afternoon fixtures, will Rooney ever return to the first team? Lampard injury set back! Holloway makes 11 changes! all this information that to anybody else is pointless, but to the football fan, knowledge is power, Its like the first time you found out you could walk! A little tingle rises up inside.

Early kickoffs on a saturday, today it happens to be United & Villa. In our house we have the radio tuned into talk sport, just sitting in the back ground, just incase sky digital for some strange reason decides to turn it self off, or freeze! I once had to look at that chap from this morning on itv for an hour as Sky decided to freeze, the panic that i was faced with! it was like a death in the family,

So as we draw closer to kick off time around the country, who right now is sat remote in hand, with the misses making a cheeky cup of tea, and looking forward to the next 2 hours of great british football!

Ian Holloway

What a start to the season for Blackpool, Yet Holloway still find's himself at the end a stick, although this time its from the men @ the F.A you know them people that point and shout but know sod all about the sport

Mr Holloway stands firm, as the F.A try and flex their muscles over last nights actions, Mr Holloway said: "I am working within their rules and I went into that game last night believing we could win. You will have to ask Mick why he said those things when he went to Man Utd, because that's a totally different scenario." Have some of that you suited and booted twats!

Asked if he still intended to resign should the authorities get involved, he added: "Absolutely. What's the point? I am paid to be the manager of Blackpool Football Club, to bring in players and utilise them in a 25-man squad. Go on my son!

Mr F.A man whats the point of having a 25 man squad? "I didn't play anyone outside of my 25. Phillips is in my 25, albeit he is only a 19-year-old. I don't understand what they're talking about. They should judge my team on how it played. If we had lost 10-0, then maybe I played a weakened team.

"I'm trying to move my squad forward, to see who is good enough and who isn't good enough. I believe they all are, I wouldn't have signed them otherwise.

"I am not having anyone tell me who I can play. My chairman doesn't do it so why should the Premier League? And who the hell are they to tell me, with the greatest respect, who I have signed, are they good enough or not before they have even had a chance to play?" BOOM!

What about if we just enjoy football! all these rules and regs are ruining the game we love

4-4-2

Barton lands the first Punch, the look on his face it was enough to make a grown man cry! (of laughter) "I hold my hands up, I reacted badly to the situation on Wednesday night and I deeply regret it.

"I have been working very hard to keep that side of my game under control and I think it has showed in the way I have been able to get on and enjoy my football this season.

"I look forward to trying to get back into the team once my suspension is over and helping the club maintain its good start to the season."

How much is he on a week? i mean the bloke needs to be locked up!

Barton will be available for selection to Newcastle manager Chris Hughton for his side's trip to West Brom on 5 December.

Allardyce a bruiser back in the day, and Pedersen the ice man decided against adding their two penny worths, personally i would of hit that twat smack bang on the face!

SUBS!

After a short while on the subs bench we are back! Ian Holloway's sticking it to the FA, Barton's punching above his weight and West Ham are lucky they have a player like Scott Parker

Hammer blow??

Zola out, Grant in but not much has gone right for the Hammers this term, a home defeat to Bolton must of been hard to swallow for the Hammer fans.

Hammers boss Grant is desperate to sort out his attacking options after seeing his side score just once in their first two games.

Grant has been frustrated in his attempts to bring in a new striker with his bid to sign forgotten City star Caicedo put on the back burner for now, lets just hope Grant has told the player that, he may be at home thinking his on his way to the capital!

Obinna has now come onto West Ham's sights with Inter tempted to loan out the young Nigeria international, although at what cost could this deal come? Can anyone name me the last player to come on loan from Inter to West Ham? i'll give you a clue his name was Jimenez...........

Roy of the Pool!

Liverpool manager Roy The great Hodgson has confirmed he would love to have some funds to strengthen his Reds squad even more.

The Merseysiders have been overly busy in what has been a quite transfer market for most this summer with the likes of J.Cole, Poulsen (the axe man) Brad Jones, Danny Wilson, Milan Jovanovic, and Jonjo Shelvey all joining.

However, Mr Hodgson knows that with just one week left before the transfer window slams shut for everyone, he needs to get busy if The Pool have a realistic chance of catching Chelsea this season

"I'd like some money to spend if I could research where that money could be spent wisely and with the idea that it will improve our team and turn us back to where we belong, these fans have suffered too long, the priority at this club should be a trophy at the end of the season" said The big man

Alex give us a wave

Sir Alex Ferguson has expressed his surprise that The Legend that is Giggs did not take United's penalty against Fulham.

The Red Devils had a glorious chance to clinch the points at Craven Cottage when they were awarded a penalty while leading 2-1 late on although in fairness it was never a pen.

However, Nani stepped up instead of the Legend and saw his effort saved by Cottagers keeper and what a save it was! priceless the look on Nani's face.

The miss proved costly as Hangeland-man smashed home a header it was a late leveller and Alex knows United should have converted their penalty.

But on the plus side, its nice to know we all make mistakes! tip top alex

Untied or united?

Newcastle United legend Malcolm Macdonald believes Fabio Capello should be watching Andy Carroll and not Bobby Zamora. *In fairness to the mighty Zamora he has proven that he can do it week in week out, its a bit early for anyone to say Carroll deserves a place in the England set up over Zamora But anyhows on with the story, The England head coach missed Andy Carroll's bish bash bosh of a hat-trick in a 6-0 demolition job against the villa on Sunday as the Italian was at Craven Cottage taking in Fulham's league clash with The other United where Bobby Z played a blinder, holding the play up, keeping the ball under pressure. Bobby Z was in England's squad that played Hungary following the summer retirement of bruno after the World Cup finals. Carroll had a blinder him self over the weekend, but it was against a poor villa team, if the lad can do it week in week out then the future is bright for Newcastle & for England

tevez shocker!

Manchester City forward Carlos Tevez has claimed that former Arsenal defender William Gallas has made enemies in moving to Tottenham Hotspur from north London rivals Arsenal, however, the Argentine international believes the French international can handle the pressure that comes with such a high profile switch.

Bit lost why Tevez is given his voice on this matter? no stranger to such controversy having himself moved across another great divide when he chose to leave Manchester United, where he had won two league titles, the League cup and the Champions League, to join fierce big spending rivals Manchester City. The Argentine believes the rivalry between City and United had no impact on him as he is a professional, and the former Red Devil believes that Gallas will be able to handle the transfer having played for Chelsea before Arsenal. Despite this, Tevez does warn Gallas he will have made a number of enemies by completing the switch. Tevez said: “I have played for United and now I am in City, and it has no influence on me. Gallas has joined Spurs after playing for Chelsea and Arsenal, and because of that he has made many enemies. “But he needs to focus on the future.He fills he has joined a club heading in the right direction We’re professionals and this is our job. I understand the fans’ love for their colours, but it is necessary to respect the decisions footballers make as he will want to get one over his old team and guide Tottenham to a trophy.” Tevez also voiced his concerns over the amount of players that are coming through the city door! with spaces at a premium in the 25 man squad Tevez fills he merits a place in the starting line up week in week out

sky sports news why!

THE NEW SKY SPORTS NEWS LAYOUT IS SHOCKING! TOO MUCH GOING ON WITH THE GRAPHICS THE FONT SIZE IS TINY! WHY CHANGE A GOOD THING IN THE FIRST PLACE! Why do we always try and improve things that don't need improving or re-designing? The layout is to complicated, the graphics make reading the info almost impossible, the size of the font, and the font itself, becomes unreadable unless you have an 80" screen, the fact that the reporters are now acting like c-list celeb's what was wrong with people reading news the normal old fashion way, half this reporters couldn't name you the list of teams that have won the world cup let alone explain the offside rule!
