We had this back in 2003 when there were unconfirmed rumours SBR had been sacked.

Sky Sports say he has gone.

Michael Brown up to his usual tricks again.

Have you seen FS ever look happy?

With Krul I would expect him to go out on loan and if he is successful, return in 2008 to become the back up to Given.

His car was also stolen and was latter found burnt out.

Pepe Reina the latest to burgled last night while he was playing.

Man City ban Barton after bust-up Manchester City have suspended Joey Barton for the rest of the season after he hit team-mate Ousmane Dabo in training, BBC Sport understands. Dabo had to go to hospital after sustaining injuries to his mouth during the incident at Carrington on Tuesday. Barton's agent, Willie McKay, said he had not spoken directly to the player yet, but played down the incident. He told BBC Sport: "As far as I've heard, he was defending himself. But because it is Joey it makes headlines." McKay added: "It happens on training grounds all over the country, from Chelsea to Yeovil." City are currently refusing to confirm the identity of the player who has been suspended. A club statement read: "We can confirm that a player has been suspended pending an internal investigation." Midfielder Barton, 24, won his first England cap in the friendly against Spain at Old Trafford in February.

If he had played Luque we would have won the world cup, tbh.

Anal on tv before 10pm, that is shocking.

Certainly hope it goes to SA as we won't be ready to put on a decent show by 2010. St James' could well be dominated by cranes in 2010, Stanley Park wouldn't be ready and we would have to play games at third world grounds like Elland Road and Goodison Park.

The full ingredients of a Freddy Shepherd wet dream. You could include Frank Clark at left back.

Predictably messy end.

Still haven't come back out yet. Leeds fans fighting amongst each other.

I want a neither option to be posted.

Looks like the Leeds fans are after Wise!

Could be worse, could be a Leeds fan.

I thought it was well known the sort of ridiculous wage Dyer is on.

My advice, take the seat home with you.

Way to ambitious can't see it ever getting built.

Taylor's ego could certainly do with the boost.

I'm amazed anyone with a clear memory of both seasons could possibly think that league wise 01/02 wasn't the better season.

You have to remember also that Man Utd and Arsenal lost a lot of games early in the season, Man Utd were midtable until november, which actually made it a competitive league. Going into the new year 6 teams could have still won the title, which is just fantastic. 01/02 was the most competitive season in premiership history, far more so than anything we have these days.

Van Bronkchorst is what, 32 now? I doubt him being able to take the pace of the premiership on a consistent basis, especailly given he struggled at Arsenal when he was in his mid 20's.
