The sentiment points to a basic philosophy of the rule makers: goals = excitement. Deliberately handling the ball to score a goal is a yellow card, but deliberately handling to prevent a goal is red. The benefit of the doubt with offside decisions is supposed to go with the attacking team, and...
The season is only two games old. This is their first permanent manager of the season. It seems quite possible to me that if he doesn't work out, he could be fired and they would then have to find another manager. I mean, it's not like he's being brought in in January and there's a sense of "no...
This morning sky tweeted that Steve Clark had gone frome 4/1 to 1/3 over night.
About ten minutes ago they said he had been ruled out, and that Neil Warnock was now getting all the bets, and was favourite to be announced. Announcement due in the next few hours, supposedly.

He was on that Fenners show last week explaining why he still doesn't have a job, I believe they specifically cited West Brom as one he nearly took. His explanation was quite bland and pretty much said nothing. Simply a case of meeting, discussing things, then just trusting his feelings that it...

What is Muelensteen up to now?
I thought I just posted this here...
SSN now reporting Palace want to speak to Dermot Drummy, chelsea international coach or something, about their vacant managers position. It's like they don't want Sherwood.
