Fernando Torres has scored his first Chelsea hat-trick, well done to him, even though i'm a liverpool fan i'm happy he's finally hit form.
Chelsea 6-0 QPR so far and i think Chelsea could score more

Well the most disasterous season in the history of Darlingotn Football CLub drew to a close yesterday .................. with a WIN! Our first win in 2012 meant that we were relgegated by 10 points. The same 10 points deducted when we went into administration.

What league we play in next season will be anyones guess. From rumours circulating yesterday it looks like we are in for another roller coaster week. It appears our biggest battle may yet be to come. Where we will play our games is also still up in the air

However the club must (and will) survive and fight on in what ever league we are dumped. It is a long, ardous and twisting road back to where we belong. But we will be back.

Now if only some of those premier league footballers could be tmepted to part with a few weeks wages........................

Did these guys not sell to tony fernandes. Some of them must have done as I know fernandes has more than 50% shares. Your proportions are 69% between them, allowing for fernandes this will be a minimum of 119%, although I believe fernandes is closer to 100% than 50% in amount of shares owned

i stand corrected, seems i'm 8 months out of date. fernandes bought ecclestones 66% stake and mittal has a 33% stake. why does one of the richest men in the world have a stake in a football team without the ambition to bankrupt himself chasing trophies?.

Alan Green has just implied that Stoke's defenders jostle especially physically in the box (without proof). So much for 5 Live neutrality :roll:

First time since West Brom v Man City in 2004 that a team hasn't even managed a shot - blocked or not - for the entire game.

It's arrogance like that which annoys me. You are where you are for a reason, hopefully where you belong is the BSN and your club finds it's level due tothe football you play on the pitch.

By that logic they shouldn't have been docked points for going into administration :roll:

Additionally one could be forgiven for thinking there was an important game on in the PL tomorrow

The FA have approached West Brom manager Roy Hodgson to become England manager
Wonder what Cloughie would have thought of it all? The England Manager that 'never was'???:roll:
Seriously there is NO one that stands out for the job was seen as the pinnacle of English football, certainly no more though....

Agreed, it's a poisoned chalice these days and I can't see it being any different until the Premier League is finished.

Too many foreign players, not enough investment in young kids (for a variety of reasons), too much money and clubs which are too powerful. It's strange how certain players seem to have injuries putting them off England duty but suddenly become fit in time for the next club game :roll:

I was looking in a old PL sticker book from the 96/97 season and they had a dedicated sticker for overseas player!!

He has international experience in his favour, took Switzerland to quarters of world cup 1994, and managed Finland at some point didn't he? He's done well at fulham and west brom, got both punching above their weights, at Liverpool his run was better than kenny had had since xmas as well, before yesterday only wolves had less points since Xmas than Liverpool

League 1 could be heading for an amazing finish with both the Sheffield teams going for automatic promotion on the last day of the regular season.

Personally i'd much rather see Wednesday go up as Hillsbrough is by far the best away day of any of the other Yorkshire teams. Hopefully Stevenage will go up via play offs if they seal their place as it's one of the few grounds i've never been too.....

XC and SS4 relax , thanks to Blackburn and QPR's ineptitude my belief is that Aston Villa will remain a Premiership Club even if they lose all their remaining matches:p

Wednesday will go up, cant see us doing anything but lose at Hillsborough on Saturday now we got nothing to play for, and if Stevenage go up it will be a sad day for football, they play anti-football, only thing they know is how to foul and fall over. A quote I heard about Stevenage is they dont play fotball, but organised thuggary and its true

no - we are where we are by chronic mismanagment by several chairman over the last decade who have not been intrested in running a football club as a business and have simply used it as a vehicle to further other aims. By all means enter into a deabte but please do so with some facts.

The only thing I would say is that the fans don't question where the money is coming from when times are good - Man City are a case in point at the moment
