They're Doomed!

2008-08-28T16:50:00+00:00

I know it's only two games into the Premiership season but you can't help speculating who will be the first manager to get the big El Bow.

Alan Cubishley has to be a hot favorite. The Hammers poor start, coupled with an indifferent season last year are likely to be making him feel very insecure, whatever he says.

Paul Ince's big-time experience and galvanising qualities are what Rovers will seek to harness as they look to push on this season.
Blackburn

Gary Megson's men will do enough to ensure a successful campaign - given that success round these parts is defined solely by survival.

Who is Fabrice Muamba?

2008-07-21T23:40:42+00:00

Fabrice Muamba
He's young. Only 20 years old and he's earned 7 caps for the England U21 squad in the last year. Fabrice Muamba is our new defensive midfielder and he can fill in right where Ivan Campo left off. Campo spent 6 seasons at the Reebok and he was a welcome sight for just about every Trotters supporter over the years, but he got older and he got slower.

It's another interesting month in the world of football. Transfers are flying around at the typical blazing pace, players are making bigger money than even they know what to do with, and the little teams are trying their hardest to keep up. Many of the smaller teams out there have gone so far as to break their own transfer records to sign players that would previously have been relatively affordable.

Pondering on a Poster Boy for Passion: Ginger Mourinho

2007-11-13T21:40:00+00:00

What on the surface seemed one of the more bizarre managerial appointments in the Premiership for as long as I can remember (a poll in a Bolton newspaper quoted a staggeringly low 1.7% of fans approved) seemed like a masterstroke last Thursday night at Allianz Arena when Bolton came away with a 2-2 draw against Bayern Munich. I must admit that along with almost everybody else I was perplexed when the man ironically dubbed by Leicester fans the "Ginger Mourinho", Gary Megson, was appointed manager of Bolton.
