Hey, we may as well have one here like everywhere else.

So, important weekend fixtures:

Doncaster v Gillingham
Tranmere v Barnsley
Wolverhampton v Ipswich
Tottenham v Wigan

Important European potential at stake in the last game...

[Lazarus]

Oh, and let's not forget a word for Gary Megson, who left Notts Forest today.

Didn't have to be Mystic Meg to see that one coming!

Any bets on next manager for the sack? Mick McCarthy maybe?

[Carl Briggs]

Some tough matches there. Wigan vs Spurs will be interesting, but Wigan have lost their way a bit so I fancy Spurs. Wolves will draw 1-1 with Ipswich in a typical Hoddlesque stylee.

Doncaster will get caned 12-0 lol.


I'm surprised at Megson. I always thought he was a good manager. He worked miracles at West Brom. He took on a tough job from the start at Forest though. I think he took on the wrong job at the wrong time

I don't think McCarthy will get the sack. He's done all he can do there I think. Again, he's a decent manager thats took on a tricky job that nobody has had any real success with since Peter Reid was sacked. I think if anyone is to go next, its likely to be Steve McClaren - he's spent a lot, wasted it, and seems to get by on his reputaion as "Fergies old number 2, and a future England manager". Personally, I don't think he's good enough to be England manager - he's never proven himself, and I also think that he's been working with Sven for too long. If Sven is going, then we need a whole new Era of coaching staff too.

Well, first off, good win for the Rovers Good win for Wolves too, they might just scrape into the playoffs. And although Spurs/Wigan was 2-2 it was a cracking game from what I saw of it too.

Secondly, my eyes still water when I see the pics of Alan Smith's ankle.

Oh, and they've drawn the quarter finals of the cup today:

Charlton v Middlesbrough
Aston Villa or Manchester City v Bolton or West Ham
Chelsea v Newcastle United
Birmingham v Liverpool

Easy ties for Chelsea and Liverpool so I'm hoping they meet in the semis to give someone else a chance!

Aren't you forgetting someone?

Yeah well, you weren't around we you

Good win against McAteer and his merry idiots though

[sypickle]

Yeah, that game has renewed my confidence in getting promoted

Edit: That smilie rules!

[Lazarus]

Got Sky Sports again for the month as fancied watching Chelsea Barcelona last night.

Good game, shame about the sending off although that Messi was the biggest threat all game, including Ronaldinho, and despite his girly hairdo.

Chelski need to go to the Nou Camp and score at least twice - I reckon it may be beyond them!

Fingers crossed for Rangers though - if they do well they might decide to let us keep Russ McCormack...

[Lazarus]

OK, anyone want to guess how long Gallas gets banned for? I predict that the FA will bottle it and ban him for 4 matches.

[BenJoss]

I'm hoping he'll be banned for 3 years and sent to work down the mines...

...not that I'm bitter about his 92nd minute fluke against my lot the other Saturday.

Nice to see fulham win and the refs get a decision right, even if it was impossible for the lino to have seen the hand ball.

Jose's face was a picture though!
