Excellent news that the Government has been defeated. The attempted power grab, which would have effectively given the hard-liners in the Tory party carte blanche to railroad their own agenda through has been effectively scuppered. Well done to those Tory rebels who care more for democracy...

Somebody called John Deere really ploughed up the field, Benji.

Swansea are assessing the injury Wayne Routledge picked up on Saturday in the hope he'll be fit for tonight. Vincent Kompany has a muscle strain and won't play. It's expected that Pep will rotate the squad and rest Jesus (lucky Swansea) in order to recall Aguero for tonight's match (yeah...

I refer you to my previous comment, my friend. Not out of nastiness,but honestly..... you really have to get up to speed and get in the habit of doing your own digging. Salty is quite right in her comment at post #10. We've both been there. Anybody who tells you that University is three...

Oh darn.... I was saving that one.... keeping it in the bank as a counter-riposte if needed. I think I'm going to have to get sneakier to survive on this site in future.. :devil: <flicks through football history books>.. Muttering: Now..... who was this Mario Zagallo bloke, then...?

That Alf Ramsey turned out not too bad. Bobby Robson was no mug either Alf Ramsey as a player: 226 appearances with Spurs 32 England caps. As a manager: First division champions with Ipswich. (IPSWICH...??? :eyes:) FIFA World Cup with England. Bobby Robson..... Oh, it'd take too long...

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/sam-allardyce-new-everton-manager-11607512 These Everton fans appear to be somewhat bothered.

Flouride..?

A very fair minded comment and in the case of most newly appointed managers I'd be inclined to agree. But Sam Allardyce's record goes before him. For the sake of the Everton fans, I'd be delighted to be proved wrong. Time will tell.

FA to investigate Old Trafford tunnel nonsense. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/12/11/fa-launch-investigation-manchester-derby-tunnel-row-left-mikel/ I quite agree Nilson's comment above. Everybody behaved like a load of hand-crankers.

I found this https://nationalcareersservice.direct.gov.uk/job-profiles/football-coach I think they might be a tad conservative with the salary scales at the highest level though: 4. Salary Starter: £14,000 to £21,000 Experienced: £22,000 to £26,000 Highly Experienced: up to £250,000...

What's wrong with that..?

Did the Everton owners not know what they were signing up to when they appointed Allardyce..? His attitude has always run along the lines of "The game is won by the team that concedes the fewest goals." There was a TV advertisement around a couple of years ago where some players are playing...

As for the post match nonsense yesterday, only Pep Guardiola comes out of it with any credit. Apparently, when urged by his support staff to go to the City fans to celebrate, he refused on the grounds that it would look like gloating and he didn't want to stir anything up. At least, that's...

Silky, are you suggesting he's a faint heart or some sort of glory seeker fan...? If so, why would he start supporting them in the season they were pipped to the league title by Arsenal in the last game of the season... and at Anfield, too..!! Glory seekers don't usually support the runners up.

Quite right, Aber. Come on Gents, this sort of thing is in poor taste and can't even be justified by calling it "tongue in cheek" or "having a laugh."

Well, you have to tip your hat to City. They found a way. Again. I think Herrera deserved to be carded for hanging a leg out to try to win a pen and in my opinion the ref got it right on both counts: Not giving a penalty and carding Herrera. The City goalie pulled off the sort of saves...

Gundowan on for the second half to replace Kompany who seems to have acquired an injury of some sort. The door is now open, United. The door is now wide open.

Well, one team in this match is trying to play football. And it isn't United. It could only be Otamendi who would gift United an equaliser they simply don't deserve. The hopeless Argentinian let a hit-and-hope cross go over him and Delph couldn't do anything with a bouncing ball that was past...
