He then proceeded to have a pop at the club for not putting a stop to the rumours and making a statement denying them.

I would be shocked if he's still here in August.

Utterly appalling performance; Wigan deserve to win.

Other than that, I'm not sure where to begin with that.

Marriner you tit. Should be a penalty for that foul on Espinoza.

That looked like a stonewall penalty there.

He didn't even get touched.

Otherwise, a poor first-half performance. Yaya needs to be more involved.

Nasri's done an interesting interview with the Times. I don't dislike him quite as much having read it. I'll post it up if there's interest, it's fucking long though.

I've heard that he and his wife want to go back to Italy. His dad's ill and, apparently, she's home-sick.

I'm not sure what to make of it, Pellegrini would be a good replacement though. Especially if he's bringing Isco with him, as AS are claiming.

And Young, and Downing.

Nah, Villa were pretty poor before they left.

I'd fucking hate it if he ended up at City. The only worse transfer would be Terry.

Considering his history of home-sickness, that doesn't sound like a very safe transfer target.

That's what I thought but apparently he's got over it. I'd be surprised if we were interested and he hadn't got over it.

At Manchester City he lost his way, pity really.

I never quite understand why teams bother with long contracts cause they mean sod all

It's PR really. It's to give potential critics as little to work with, in regards to their faith in the new manager and the time available to him, as possible.

He was basically begging for a job on SSN just now, it was hilarious.

If there's any justice at all, he'll never manage in the Premier League again. He's a pathetically bad manager nowadays.

Because he's fucking awesome?

I disagree but putting that aside for a minute, who would he replace? Where would he fit in at Bayern? He's going to be expensive and they're all ready well-stocked in his positions; they're only going to have more competition next year with the addition of Gotze (and probably Lewandowski).

Of the teams that can afford him, there aren't really any that need him.
