The "rise and fall" experienced by Yeovil Town in recent years has seen the sacking of their manager. His son currently manages Oldham Athletic who are in the same league.

I note this as Yeovil Town appear to mirror such promotions and relegations experienced by my team Hyde in the same period of time.

I wonder if Gary Johnson will pop up at Boundary park on match day now he lost his job and watch his son team win every home game.

Sadly Oldham lost on Tuesday night against Barnsley and miss chance to move into play offs, we now play Scunthorpe tomorrow afternoon in which someone on here we tell us that they are in good form and only lost once in 10 matches so I'm expect Oldham to beat Scunthorpe at Glanford Park tomorrow afternoon. :D

On away form, we're the second best team in th country (after a certain moderator's team), just as long as we carry that form in to home games, I'll be happy!

PS. I'm putting my money where my mouth is concerning Scunthorpe Utd, and bet £50 on BTTS on Scunthorpe to win @ 5/1

See I told you all that Oldham will win today. :D

Very happy that Oldham won today and we are now into play offs with that win and down to Bradford drawing 2-2 to Port Vale and Sheff Utd losing 2-0 to Gillingham, we got hard game against Swindon on Tues night but we have got good record against them so we may beat them on Tues night but I be happy if it finish as draw.

Is this day that Chelsea have won Premiership title as they beat Aston Villa and Man City could only draw to Hull? Also good day for Southampton who got late winner against QPR and move up to third in table and now four points clear of Tottenham in fifth place.

Aston Villa have scored!

Against Chelsea no less. Did bugger all overall but we never really stood a chance against $$$ Chelsea

Here is a list of Deloitte's richest clubs with foreign teams removed

Code:
2. Man Utd: 518m (423.8m) 
6. Manchester City: 414.4m (316.2m)  
7. Chelsea: 387.9m (303.4m) 
8. Arsenal: 359.3m (284.3)
9. Liverpool: 305.9m (240.6m)

Compare with the current league table (or at least the top half):

Code:
[B]1 	Chelsea 	24 	33 	56[/B]
[B]2 	Man City 	24 	23 	49[/B]
3 	Southampton 	24 	21 	45
[B]4 	Man Utd 	23 	17 	43[/B]
5 	Tottenham 	24 	6 	43
[B]6 	Arsenal 	24 	18 	42[/B]
[B]7 	Liverpool 	23 	6 	38[/B]
8 	West Ham 	23 	8 	36
9 	Swansea 	24 	-3 	34
10 	Stoke 	23 	-2 	32

It's quite depressing really to see how much effect money has

edit: In the interests of disclosure the Villa are 22nd in Deloitte's list which I did find rather surprising

Not been a good day. City threw yet another lead away in the 90th minute- it must be the tenth time this season we've done it- and Sp*rs absolutely trounced Arsenal.

And to top it off, the Chavs take another huge step towards the title.

Sometimes you just gotta laugh.

It's a bloody weird division, the Championship... Other than Derby, Bomo and Boro who nearly always win; and Blackpool, Wigan and Millwall who nearly always lose, there's not a massive gap between any of the other teams. We managed to win by 2 clear goals away from home for the first time this season, despite the harsh sending off of our leading scorer Nakhi Wells after only 46mins. We showed a bit of backbone today and ground out a comfortable win in the end, unlike last week where we sat on a point and lost it in the 90th minute. Now 10 clear points off 22nd place, but still too early to say we're safe. It might cheer you up that United's failure to take a point from your game coupled with Bradford City letting in a late equaliser, ruined my acca which would've paid out £5,000 for a 10p stake. <(

I note that Hyde once again fell to defeat, not sure if our young keeper was involved though.

Speaking of Hyde, I see they've loaned our young academy 'keeper, Ed Wilcynski, on loan. I imagine he'll certainly get plenty of practice there! :lol:;)

He has only been granted a one-month long youth loan.

Man City under estimating Hull City like they did Middlesbrough?

Eventful game at Crabble in the FA Trophy Quarter Final
Dover Athletic 3-3 Bath

Went like this
1-0 Dover offside goal from top goalscorer, he was then sent off for retaliation, part of Bath's stated plan to wind him up.
Ht
Bath went 3-1 up
Dover scored in 88th & 93rd mins
Bath had a player sent off after that

Replay Tuesday!

Correct, the gap between my 5th and 16th rated team is less than 0.20 of a goal

A tough game but in the end we ground out a result to go seven points clear, despite making it difficult for ourselves.

Winchester City 6 (SIX)...Bemerton Heath Harlequins 0
Back up to third in the Wessex Premier Division thanks to Whitchurch losing to Newport IoW. Dominated them from start to finish, scoring three in the opening 12 minutes of the second half, and with Moneyfields being walloped 5-1 by Lymington we go within 6 points of second with a game in hand and still to play Moneyfields at home.

Proof that possession doesn't win you matches, goals do.....Take note please Mr Van Gaal :lol:

This recent posting was brought to mind in sharp focus in a match this weekend in the Bundesliga:-

Sport-Club Freiburg....0
58% possession
7 shots
1 on target

Borussia Dortmund....3
42% possession
22 shots
12 on target.

It is what you do with the possession that matters.

Totally agree with what you say about the championship

First of all though yesterday, we were not the better team. Brentford outplayed out us and created more chances.

Redfearn is going to be in deep dog poo for his comments after the game (on the bbc site) but he is correct. And I'm sorry Mr Brentford manager but to defend the ref after that is disgusting. You should have praised your team for a good performance.

I'm not sure what is happening with these decisions at the moment but Brentford were better anyway so in a perfect world the decisions wouldn't have made a great deal of difference, they could have been 3-0 up.

Not sure what Nigel Pearson was up to yesterday in the Leicester game.

Hyde 1....Boston United 3

Hyde's league record in Conference North now reads:-
P29...W2 D6 L21...F38 A81...Pts 12

Hyde are still bottom of the Conference North, now 13 points below the side above them. Just think, a couple of years ago they were in their first season the Conference Premiership where they occupied a mid-place position at the end of that season and I remember one match in particular when they produced a flowing performance at Ewen Fields which saw them beat Woking 7-0.

Of course, teams in the Conference Premiership are watched by scouts from Leagues 1 and 2 and in the close season at the end of that first season, three of their strikers and four of their midfield players left Hyde to join league clubs. It is bad enough to lose a couple of your best players, but to lose SEVEN..<( The following season in the Conference Premiership saw them playing so poorly, with a residual team squad not worthy enough to play in that league, let alone the Conference North, and they were a total embarrassment and finished bottom with a record low number of points obtained and subsequently relegated to the Conference North.

Their record in the Conference North this season is shown at the head of this posting.

That touchline incident Nigel Pearson was involved in was very bizzare.

Scottish Cup

Rangers 1....Raith Rovers 2

A disappointing performance by Rangers in a cup tie with home advantage and only 11, 432 turning up at Ibrox to watch it. This is the first time that Raith Rovers have won at Ibrox since November 1959 and they now progress through to the quarter-finals.

Rangers have now lost five of their last nine games in all competitions.

Reports that Leicester City have sacked Nigel Pearson

He seemed like he had lost the plot yesterday, both with his actions on the side line and his press conference.
Not sure who is out there available to replace him though.

Bbc are reporting as rumours he has been sacked.

The EGM to be held in London will be interesting.

I did not realise that it was the media rather than the club who decided such matters, as on Monday morning, the club said there was no truth in this statement.

It was Sky who initiated the rumours of his sacking. A post on another forum I saw list night indicated LCFC will now most likely take legal action against them.
