that will be worse tham simply taking his punishment, It will follow him his whole career, whereas it would have been done and dusted in three games. He could find himself in a worse scenario if reports of him being mentally-weak are true. Whelan has dug an even deeper grave for him with those provocative (and petty anti-Ashley) remarks when he could have done much better. That senile old fool isn't helping his player.

Doubt he will come out to contradict his chairman's comments. In the same way I don't think there will be any official apology. Martinez will probably rest him for a few matches since the attention is on his player atm and those are crucial games (cup SFs, relegation headers) ahead. Hope the thug gets all the abuse he deserves if he does step into the pitch. Fans of the other clubs will surely look to milk the heat in those games. Just imagine Millwall fans hurling abuse to unsettle him. He will have to live with the curse of being unpunished for a long time. Edit: Really hope they get relegated this season before the big money TV deal comes in. They will find it doubly hard to come back up when the other PL clubs are armed with those riches from next season.

How do you know for sure we are one of the clubs to vote as so? It only takes a majority vote for those incompetent fools to keep the status quo from last season. Fwiw there's the 'special' cases rule that those dinosaurs could apply, yet they chose not to. They had also shown a lack of consistency and contradiction regarding re-refereeing (red cards appeal process) and the Ben Thatcher retrospective ban. Laughable that the English game falls behind the so-called lesser leagues such as Ligue 1 in this aspect.

Blackburn fully adopting the concept of interim manager.

Could well have strong implications for Barca and La Masia.

Chances he will take to punditry? It could well be we see more of him than when he was playing.

Reality must have hit him like a horse when he realised he can't get games ahead of Crouch and Jones at Stoke.

Still can't find footage of that.

Scouse/ex-Wigan cunt!

Well deserved. Hope he gets the cap befitting his performances. He must be loving the feel atm.

And guess what, Poll took personal responsibility for the error and retired from international matches after that. He ended his PL ref career a year later. Time to set an example yourself, Halsey.

Like the idea of Whelan kissing Mrs Bimpy's arse.

I like the Fifth Official http://espnfc.com/columns/story/_/id/1379547/the-fifth-official?cc=5739 Would love that to happen. Round 1 - McManaman Round 2 - that Barrow guy Round 3 - Martinez Round 4 - Dave Whelan (Mike Ashley can take this round if he desires) Reckon Carver will win them all too.

Made an assist. Had a goal-scoring run prior to the PSG match. Think he's attracting too much attention from other clubs that a transfer to us seems unlikely. In all fairness, thought that Yanga-Mbiwa would move to some big name clubs but by some miracle he came here. I hold out the faintest hope that PEA will make a similar switch here. Will be an orgasmic transfer if it does happen.

I don't think Taylor will ever get a call-up as long as he plays for NUFC. Think he got called up once but had to withdraw due to injury.

Make sure it's clean as a whistle.

GW31: Mackems 0-3 Man Utd Arsenal 3-0 Reading Man City 2-0 Newcastle Southampton 2-2 Chelsea Swansea 2-2 Spurs West Ham 1-1 WBA Wigan 2-1 Norwich Everton 2-0 Stoke Aston Villa 2-2 Liverpool Fulham 2-1 QPR

Who are the other options with 2 legs before Steven Taylor. Taylor's never going to get an England cap under Woy.

Cabaye groin injury and next match Debuchy gets a possible hamstring strain. You wonder what those 2 were up to.

Chris Foy (horror show at same weekend ) and Phil Dowd are both 50. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Select_Group_Referees Edit: All 3 same alumni.

If they go down, Brighton & Poyet will come up And Stevenage after that. Pretty sure the other PL clubs will love to see the last of Wigan too to get away from the distress that happens every 2nd half of the season.

And you wonder if Ferguson was justified in the criticism of him turning flair players like Rooney into more functional players, when Cisse almost always goes for the spectacular when there are better simple options. Says a lot when Messi and Ronaldo seldom do tricks nowadays and focus on simple effective moves.

Sick of them being our bogey team but that was that. Today totally changed my perceptions though and I hope they are relegated and disappear into lower leagues oblivion.

Also nicked the ball in an awkward position off Perch when the latter was better placed for a shot. Perch got really angry with him and rightly so.

It can still be damn bad even without the leg bending. We're talking about a weight-bearing joint, the part where the bones are connected. Once that loses significant ability to hold up the body it's game over. At least broken bones can heal or even strengthen the area without long-lasting implications.
