Sorry guys but as football news goes this is probably the biggest story for the past 20 years whether we like it or not

This. I can't watch SSN (or any news) at the moment. I couldn't care less about that shit hole of a club.

Imagine they asked the teams to have a minutes applause for that cunt in the final...

I've been avoiding the press today even more than when Thatcher kicked the bucket - I had an idea Moyes was on his way somewhere after we signed Rodwell without so much as a whimper from him (and it was reinforced when the press kept going on about him being in the final year of his contract with no renewal agreed).

Issue with FA Cup coverage is that Sky doesn't have rights for any games so they can't show highlights from games even in news while reporting so they traditionally don't cover it as much anyway ... and given Fergie leaving and Moyes as their new manager is big enough news for then to simply bury everything else ...

ESPN and ITV has the rights and they have done their previews etc already in the week. It's in their news segments every day and ESPN has a lineup of program's starting at 8am on Saturday nonstop all the way to the kickoff. (All already set to be recorded of course :)

So Sky can go to hell, BT Sport has already taken over ESPN and has today launched two new channels BT Sport 1 and 2 and in HD as well and they have announced it free of cost to existing BT Broadband customers ... good value even for those who don't get it free for the year as ESPN alone was £10 pm. And here on they have picked up more games than ESPN used to show and these include 18 first picks ... so fully expect some derbies to be taken away from Sky.

Hopefully they'll break Sky's monopoly further.

Sky could show highlights from other broadcasters if they kept the other lot's logo on it during the coverage, just like the Beeb and ITV do during the news with coverage from Sky - it's just that they wont show events that they don't cover themselves.

Someone better buy Moyes a map, as he won't have a clue where Wembley is...it should be a cheap one as he will only need it once for the Charity Shield....and he should get in line for a passport as he won't have one, because he's never been into Europe before!

All the stirrings around the place affectionately known as 'The Swamp' have got me thinking to the old Matt Busby era, when he retired and moved upstairs...his presence was so unnerving for his successor Wilf McGuinness, that he was fired, losing all his hair in the process..
Busby was dragged back, until they found Frank O'Farrell, who dismally failed to handle egos like George Best , sacked, in comes Tommy Doc, who sold Law and Best, got them relegated, and had it away with the physio's wife..and it went on.....happy days full of fun and comedy ahead I see!!!

Lovin it. The usual sploogefest over at rag cafe has deteriorated. Theyre trying really hard to build up Moyes but then came this realization:

Sly Sports already comparing Gollum's record against Bob.

Why don't they compare Mancini's trophies won I'm the last three years compared to any other managers in the Prem?

If we get there, we need to beat them in the community shield. We also need to take the League Cup seriously for once - don't let him get an easy trophy in March.

If Jose goes to Chelsea, he'll do well to keep them in the top 3 and if Liverpool and Spurs buy well...

Apart from the times he took Preston to Wembley and twice with Everton.

He got Everton into Europe three times.

Apart from that you post is 100% spot on.
