31 days for scholes at oldham Paul Scholes: Former Manchester United and England midfielder leaves role as Oldham Athletic manager http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47570578 “It unfortunately became clear that I would not be able to operate as I intended and was led to believe prior to taking on the role," Thats quite a damning statement, maybe been made promises from the board that weren’t kept.

Apparently cash is due to be spent in the summer to replace the older players. Since winning it, think the closest bayern have been in 7 years is the semis?

FTFY

Jukanovic and wagner being mentioned as replacements. Never really seen them play, but surely given how good Norwich, sheff utd and leeds have been this year, 4th isn’t too bad and aiming to go up through the playoffs isn’t the end of the world. Strange one. Given all the chaos around bolton this week, a good result for them today.

Call it “my knob” The jockey is climbing onto/falling off my knob My knob coming first My knob out in front My knob is being beaten I’m really sorry sir, i am going to have to put my knob down.

Aye, but its the fact he doesn’t seem to know what he’s done wrong and the media are backing him on that. He was more than entitled to voice his opinion to the ref about the decision he got wrong, but you can’t go screaming in a refs face like that and expect nothing to happen.

Ah ok. Don’t see a lot of napoli games so wasn’t aware of that. Does make the stadium look empty.

Bad result for arsenal, go take something special to overturn that. 0-0 has the potential to be a good result for inter but feel they will have to score first in the san siro, from the bits i seen frankfurt look like a decent side and more than capable of scoring away. If they do, inter could end up buckling. Why is there such a low crowd for the napoli game? Anyone know?

So i’m not being too cynical by saying that had it been someone like jose, they would have been calling for the book to be thrown at him? The whole club has the media sucking up their arses, never really get the rough ride that other clubs do when they lose games.

Am i the only one who doesn’t think the defence of Pochettino is justified? Everyone saying that a two game ban is harsh, but he went into mike deans face and was screaming in his face, yet he doesn’t seem to think hes done anything wrong. Don’t get me wrong, he can be annoyed at the officials because they got the corner decision wrong, but to react the way he did and be surprised he’s been slapped with a ban is baffling as is the media reaction saying it’s over the top.

Juve v madrid last year gave the ref grief about penalty decision

I don’t think it was a bottle job from psg, they played well and being a bit more clinical they could have won it. They equalised quite soon after man u scored so it shows that they didn’t panic.

Not a united fan, but think cantona is brilliant. Even outside of football, he sometimes plays on the ego thing but sat and watched a few interviews if his on youtube and he does come across as down to earth and quite eloquent. As for united, that wee bit of luck to take them through. I think var does work and did in the world cup and probably will work but needs a bit of work. Harsh giving a penalty for that, you can’t jump with your arms down by your side. Man city will have a field day against uniteds defence. Where di maria and mbappe were getting down in behind the right and left backs, and then firing the ball across de gea to the other in coming in, is exactly what stirling and sane do.

Andrew robertson on his post match interview is raging.

A gentleman never tells. I’m no a gentleman though - no.

Well, they do make the rocking world go round.

On the animal dying chat, when me and mrs b were still just dating, her dog had to be put down on Hogmanay of all days. I stupidly persuaded her that we should still go out that night, looking back i should have been more sympathetic, cancelled the plans. Night wasn’t a complete disaster but because of how she was feeling she just got very drunk and we had to call it a night early anyways.

Is Michy Batshuayi the thing palace seem to have been missing this season. Seems to have been quite influential in their upturn in form. Having that bit of creativity and being able to score has Maybe taken the pressure off zaha a bit?

Sat and watched Saturday morning savage after the chelsea game last night. Talking about the day glen hoddle had his heart attack, what it was like being there at that moment. You can see that hoddle thinks he is lucky to still be alive. Fair enough the guys done a CPR course, but when it happens in real life it will be completely different, fair play to him for being able to respond and keep him alive.

[emoji23] Jenas is fucking fuming at the suggestion that arsenal could close the gap to 1 point on Saturday.

Honest truth, i thought pedro was poor 1st half but second half he has been brilliant and now on the wind up with the spurs defenders.

Chelsea have defended well and played well. Its hard to tell after the last two games whether the players back sarri because the game against spurs and against man city they would have wanted to win no matter who the manager was

Calm, controlled finish from trippier left the keeper with no chance.

When did tynecastle get all seating behind the goals and the side? Think raith may have played them whilst it was still like this. Would have been 93/94 season.

I have never seen a sub yellowed never mind red carded
