What a fucking cissy, fancy going down from a kiss like that. Fan will be dealt with and rightly so, but little chance of girly man ever developing a set by the look of it. Do these blokes have no shame? Their first instinct is to cry no matter what happens or how trivial it is. Just take the fucking slap, laugh, let the knob be arrested and retain a little fucking dignity in the process.

Dougie Freeman has left Palace to join Bolton.

Despite Palace being right near the top. About time there was a managerial window tbf.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Seems like a bit of a sideways move, even if Bolton are the slightly bigger club they are also in piles of debt.

It seemed a nice fit with him being a former player and them doing pretty well in the league. Zaha will now be off in January as well.

I imagine Palace will be delighted with the choices of Mccarthy, Davies and Curbishley... so long as they stay away from Ronnie Moore.
Maybe Coppell will go back for the 700th time?

Big mistake tbh, He'lll only get sacked in a few months, Palace he was a hero there and it seemed to be going well.

Money talks i guess.

We are getting reports that Nottingham Forest have sacked manager Sean O'Driscoll. Quite right too - they only beat Leeds 4-2 earlier today.

Truly bizarre.
:lol:

[Cripps_orig]

1903:
NOTTINGHAM FOREST
Here's a statement from Nottingham Forest after the sacking of manager Sean O'Driscoll.

Chairman Fawaz Al Hasawi said: "We cannot speak highly enough of Sean as a man. He was appointed at an extremely difficult time for the Club and can count himself unlucky to have lost his job with the team just one point away from the top six.

"With the January transfer window approaching, we feel it's the right time to make a change.

"We are looking to bring in an ambitious manager with Premier League experience."

Abdulaziz Al Hasawi, who was at The City Ground for today's game against Leeds, added: "The timing of our decision may look a little odd after the win over Leeds but sometimes you need to make changes with the long term future in mind.

"Sometimes those changes need to be made from a position of strength rather than weakness and that is what we are trying to do."

We need to get that board asap

[Syn]

Cardiff going well. Important win today.

[Cripps_orig]

Nottingham Forest chairman Fawaz Al Hasawai after the dismissal of Sean O'Driscoll on Twitter: "Made contact with PL manager tonight. Meeting Thursday."

Who can it be?

Mcleish appointed. The fans won't be happy.

They wanted Di Matteo :lol:

I'm sure Phil Brown, Owen Coyle, Mark Hughes and Curbishley will be linked.

Wolves have appointed Dean Saunders :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Michael Appleton is the new Blackburn manager.

He took over at Blackpool less than 2 months ago. No loyalty in this game.

[Master Splinter]

Blackpool want Parkinson to replace him.

Bradford :rose:.

If he leaves Bradford now, he has to be the biggest fool ever

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Parkinson has turned them down apparently. I'm glad actually, too many managers jump to what they think of as a better job at the first opportunity.

We should all apply with our FM and FIFA accolades.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I suppose the final straw for Big 'Eck was that he couldn't sign George Boyd from Peterborough because he failed an eye test. :lol:

Well that and he apparently didn't get to pick the team.

Billy Davies returns to Notts Forest

Paul Ince to become the new Blackpool manager.

Blackpool :rose:.

Wolves 1-2 Cardiff.

Cardiff now 8 points clear with a game in hand.

Looks like there will be 2 Welsh teams in the premier league next season. Will be many dropped points for the top teams too - Cardiff's a tricky place to get 3 points. Unlike Swansea, they just pub all their games. It's going to be another Stoke.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Conversely, Wolves remain in the relegation zone. Shocking really.

WARNOCK UPDATE
Leeds manager Neil Warnock has said he has not resigned but is suggesting someone else is put in charge for the next match at Charlton.


:blink:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Aaaand now he's gone.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Warnock. :lol:

Always an odd choice going there after previously managing Sheffield United.

Other than his Tevez obsession

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barnsley have been made to play in Palace's away kit. :haha:

[Syn]

Key game between Watford (3rd) and Cardiff (1st) right now on Sky. Watford need to win - if they do, there's 5 points in it between themselves and Cardiff, and only 1 point behind Hull.

[Syn]

Finished 0-0.

[Cripps_orig]

Sounded interesting

[Cripps_orig]

Brian McDermott is the new Leeds manager

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's probably not worth us posting antipathy or bewilderment when a manager is sacked, it's not long before they get a job again, media or otherwise.

[Cripps_orig]

Cardiff a point away from promotion

[McNamara That Ghost...]

They have Charlton on Tuesday, who gave Barnsley a 0-6 pumping today.

They're still in the driving seat though, a win against Cardiff sends them up. Watford will go up if they better their result in any way as they also have a far better GD.

Come on Watford.
