Bookies stopped taking bets on him yesterday as there were strong rumours he was gone. It should be Kean but it wont be.
derby day the scores were level,
then the goat was fed by neville,
silly boy should know for sure,
feed the goat and he will score!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd agree but Blackburn are away to Cardiff tonight, could be game, set and match.

Be interesting to see, but I said elsewhere, I wonder if they've done a deal with Kean until the end of the season ? When they had those contract talks recently.

Agree with Dub, should be Kean but the chicker farmers are mad. Having said that, I reckon this revised contract will have seen a huge reduction in the compensation payment due if he's sacked so you never know.

Whelan will quite rightly reciprocate the loyalty Martinez showed Wigan when Villa came calling.

McCarthy will be given more time at Wolves.

Bruce to go first. He's had backing and has bought poorly. When I read he was being linked with Brown, O'Shea and Gibson for around £15Mil it just showed a lack of judgement and creativity in the transfer market. Sessegnon is the only player he's brought in who has actually exceeded expectations and not by much.

Tbf, that striker who buggered off (name escapes me) was a good signing but as you say; the others are poor & unimaginitive.

I hope Bruce stays, it would be funnier to see him get sacked in the summer with another relegation on his CV

Broken Britain and it's elf n' safey shit banned the sack race years ago, can no longer have a egg and spoon race cause of the racial conitation. It's now the potato n' cutlery race, which is offensive to the Irish.

Bruce will be gone as will Kean. Bruce first me thinks as the chicken men wont want a big pay off.
I haven't a fecking clue what I'm doing! Gillie come back man I want my sig back. As the Photobucket thingy gone?

Wigan look like picking up anyway. They were unlucky to only get a point against Blackburn and got a good win at Sunderland. I'd be surprised to see them finish in the bottom five. That front three of Di Santo, Moses and Rodallega has potential, and Diame, Figueroa, Watson and Al Habsi look pretty good.

It's that lemon Caldwell who could prove to be their downfall.

Has to be Angela Lansbury for the sack first. Steve Kean is invincible.

Keane should have gone a long while ago, but I'm starting to think the venkey's people are trying to get relegated for the parachute payout, then rebound right back. Can't think of anything else to explain it besides pure incompetence (the lady in charge of Keane's job from venkey's has no previous experience in/with/around/watching football)

Bruce should be gone as sunderland are miserably bad. He's basically bought the rag's reserve team plus a few dud players. Cessignon hasn't been half bad but can never seem to produce a final product. The one player who showed some promise, and their only striker(!), was loaned to dubai before the season started. I thought bruce should have been sacked after they lost at the swamp with the rags playing awful.

It was funny to hear on the guardian football podcast them quote the elephant man "I've never walked away from anything in my life" - oh really: Sheffield, wigan, crystal palace, brimingham.... basically every job the little shits ever had!

Did he really say that? How remarkable.
I said he had bought players for a relegation struggle, but seemed to be in a minority.

He's more of a big fat shit, surely ?

It's strange that none of the ex rags has done anything spectacular as a manager yet. You would have thought that they would have gained some magic from Gandalf himself. Solskjaer seems to be the one who has made the best flying start to a career although Hughes did well with Wales. Bruce has just bumbled from one place to the next.

Never criticise a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes.
That way when you do criticise him you'll be a mile away.
And you'll have his shoes.

Indian people love curried eggs and the silver spoon represents the English imperialists. Since in an egg race the eggs are carried by the spoon, it is basically saying that modern day Indians and Pakistanis living in the UK are being supported by the English welfare system. Which is of course is an untrue, bigoted statement

While it's true that the welfare system is being stretched by the current economic climate, in no way is it the fault of various minority groups
