Well I'm a cretin then, swore they had signed the contract with Adidas? Ah well, no harm.

Puma threw cash at it and got the deal at the last minute despite adidas bidding for it.

I went to the game at QPR and I don't think I've seen more venom by a team towards their own players than that shown by R's fans to Jose Bosingwa.

Their team looked in almost as big a mess as well, not least given Bosingwa gifted two goals to the Toon Army. But nevermind - we got the win and now we are staying up. Can't say fairer than that.

Can Wigan still stay up if we beat them? Virtually everything I've read about Wigan is that they need 4 from 6 in their last 2 matches.

But looking at the table it seems like they might just need 3 in the event that Norwich or Newcastle lose both thie matches.

It is possible for them overhaul anyone up to 12th place Fulham, but they need six points and anyone of those teams to lose both their games to achieve that.

The more likely option is to hope one of the teams on 38/39 (that'd be Norwich, Sunderland, Southampton... and us) slips up. Hopefully that won't be us.

I was thinking Martin Jol would be a good choice, I'm not sure if he would see Everton as a big step up though as he usually gets a decent budget with Fulham.

I'd take Jol at Newcastle but then I said that when he was conveniently fired on the same day as Hughton back in 2010, so I think we may have missed the boat on that one.

I'm not sure given we're reliant on Ben Arfa, who I think is still banned from the French squad after having a fight with him at the Euros.

I'm not going to interject with the politics or the reputation of the player. I just think it's a shame his career has been ended in such tragic and unfortunate circumstances, and I wish him all the best with what he does next.

I'd have thought Everton would have at least considered him but the way his reign ended at Sunderland felt like the end.

Hull would be mad to let Steve Bruce go so I daresay that's unlikely. Lennon might actually work, even if he is a tool, but I still think Martinez is the favourite.

Please take Alan Pardew. We don't mind.

Yes I know this is wishful thinking on my part. In all seriousness it'll probably be Martinez - seems to be the way the wind is blowing in this market.

The Times: "David Moyes will be named as the new manager of Manchester United in the next 24 hours. The Barclays Premier League champions have agreed to appoint the Everton manager as Sir Alex Ferguson’s replacement at Old Trafford."

If Moyes is not, who else?

Why not a 51-year-old former West Ham and Southampton manager that is currently 999/1 on Betfair? Take him. We don't mind.

In all seriousness, I'd be surprised if Moyes didn't move tbh. But stranger things - hell I thought this "next MUFC manager" debate wouldn't be needed for another year or two at least.

Blimey - when I saw the rumour I thought it was bollocks. So show's what I know.

It's gonna be weird seeing a new guy in the MUFC dugout given Fergie's been in charge since before I was born, which is a fact I get reminded on every birthday given I have the same one.

Also, Moyes moving to MUFC and taking Fellaini with him spells a disaster for Everton. But I daresay they'd probably try to prevent him signing their squad... possibly.

Newcastle/Norwich still need to actually get a point. Wigan getting something at Arsenal isn't that unlikely either.

Yes. The end is in sight but it's not actually happened yet.

Wigan just don't want to win

Given the quality of their defending for that goal, you might be right.

Still, thank fuck for that.

What a tragic excuse for a free-kick. He was closer to killing RVP again than finding the net.

By Telegram Sam | Permalink | On 07 May 2013 - 19:44 PM

We should win comfortably, but then again we should have hammered QPR at the weekend but we were largely underwhelming. I'd love for us to beat Wigan, and for you to win, as it'd be much better for us to visit St. James' Park on the last game of the season with Newcastle's top-flight status already preserved.

The luxury of us confirmed for next season by the final day is one I would love but it all depends on what happens in the meantime. Anything can happen.

Wigan will probably win at the Emirates (again) so I wouldn't be too relaxed if they fail to beat Swansea.

A failure for them to beat Swansea means we can move four-six clear ahead of that game, and if Arsenal still need Champions League points that gives them incentive too.

Wigan could easily have still gone on to win the game if McManaman was sent off.

Given our tactics they probably would've - at the time I was surprised we'd found an equaliser at all. The main irritation is less that and more the winning goal, or the nature of it.

But what do I care - if Swansea win or draw, it renders it moot anyway. Until the next crisis.

Nah, not buying it. It's a cliché by now but that's because most of the times it's actually true: These things even themselves out over the course of the season.

God forbid you do something stupid like blame your teams' absolutely diabolical recent performances for your current state, no let's just blame 1 wrong decision about 6 weeks ago

Who the hell would think we played well against Liverpool? The fact some of our fans told the Daily Mirror 0/10 for all but one of our players was too generous is indication. And tbf we've been fucking dreadful all season long.

There are all sorts of factors for why we are down there - the principal one being poor tactical decisions and team selections from a man who has averaged less than a point a game since being a pointlessly whopping contract. But it's hardly deniable things would be a little rosier if that had gone differently, or the consequent decisions given against vs Sunderland and West Ham. I guess I'm in a mood to complain.

Swansea winning will probably shut this up.
