Bournemouth sack Groves!!!!

I'm surprised he didn't get a bit more time as he only took over in March but they have started badly, I would have expected them to be in the play-off's at least at the end of the season. Maybe whoever comes in. Any chance Arry' could take over as he's already director of football?

The 0-0 draw for us at Forest sounded like an absolute stinker of a game. We need a manager asap. Need to get shut of Black, Hendry, all those who were there with the c*nt Kean, get a proper manager in with fresh ideas, new backroom team, and then we can push for promotion.

I think he was playing for Forest tonight but I'm not sure how he's doing.

Leicester's first goal was a worldy. Their second was the goal of the decade. Backheel volley from a drilled ball behind him, and he somehow got the power, the direction, and the balance to score. Amazing. They deserved it too. We were defensively solid, but they bossed midfield and nullified all attacking threat. Didn't do much going forward themselves, it has to be said, but they were much sharper and controlled the game in midfield.

Oh, and Forestieri got sent off for diving against Charlton after doing it all afternoon on Saturday, including for the penalty. Good player - very good player - but an appalling cheat.

Leyton orient are considering renaming themselves London Orient if they get the Olympic stadium.
BBC
I quite like the name, It might give them a wider appeal.

Lost 1-0 against Swindon through a Matt Ritchie screamer after 25 seconds. Our match against Carlisle on Tuesday was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch

KB metioned in his post-match that we wants to bring in new players and has already dipped into the loan market by signing Matt Doherty on a three-month loan. He had a good game so I'm excited on the gaffer thinks would be good here.

Wimbledon haven't won a game all season so where were they always going to win? Fortress Home Park, of course! We were and probably still are dog shit.

When Birmingham relegated us on the last day in 2001 their fans sang 'We'll never play you again.'

Oh, hello there, Brum. Thanks for the three points.

I've just seen that Blackpool have the second-smallest stadium in the Championship. Pretty crazy when you consider that they were in the Premier League two seasons ago.

We were robbed yesterday. Dominated the first half, then the scummy f*ckers got a penalty for a foul outside of the box. Can't remember Alnwick having a save to make besides that either. Frustrating.

I know I sound like terriersmad for blaming the referee, but it's the first, and hopefully the last time it'll be done.

Must be a big relief to win against your ex-manager, right?

Not really. I feel more than a bit sorry for him at the moment. He's a passionate guy who's sacrificed his footballing principles because he's crippled by the fear of losing, which is a massive shame.

I play 5-a-side on Monday nights, and the team I play for was in the Premiership last season (placed into by default, rather than being there on merit). We lost 13-0 to a team who were quite good, and I got to see them again tonight as they tore another set of unfortunates to ribbons. They ought to be bloody good. They had two Town first year pros playing. I wonder if Town are aware of that? Either way, it doesn't seem like such a bad result any more.

Surprised it didn't happen earlier, to be honest. Probably should have gone at the end of last season.

Coyle sacked.

JPT at Spotland against the Fail tonight. Given the recent failrues in the last few weeks and the fact they battered us twice last season, I'm starting to think this may be an important fixture. Anyway, a win would be a massive morale booster for the squad and would also boost Blackwell's reputation amongst the fans for a bit so let's rip the win out of our six-fingered inbreeding firends' hands.

Won 5-4 on pens

1-1 after 90 minutes. A win is a win at the end of the day so I'm happy with the result. First half was pish but we showed faith and played rellay in the second half so this half may be something we can build up on.

ALso Blackwell mentioned we will get a few new players in over the weeks and will need help from some "friends" as he "can't really afford players"
Got a few players on trial as well. Javan Vidal, Ben Parker and Bryan Hughes are already here while Blackwell is hoping to involve some Dutch trialists too.

Exciting times here at Bury F.C.

Steve Kean has put his name in for the Bolton job - just over a week since he quit at local rivals Blackburn.

Kean wants to get back into the game quickly and has contacted Trotters supremo Phil Gartside to ask to be put on their short-list of contenders to succeed the sacked Owen Coyle.

Gartside is known to be an admirer of Kean, over the way he handled the stick at Rovers during their failed survival fight last season, but the Scot is unlikely to get the gig.

The Bolton chief plans to meet three or four candidates over the next few days before deciding who to go for - with his preference for a young boss and ideally ‘a new Owen Coyle.’

Bolton have been offered out-of-work duo Mick McCarthy and Alex McLeish, but Gartside wants someone with a more fresher CV.

The trouble with that is that most of the names on his provisional hit-list including Molde coach and Manchester United hero Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Portsmouth's Michael Appleton and Dougie Freedman of Crystal Palace - are in work and may be beyond reach.
