Portsmouth have had a transfer embargo placed on them by the FA, as they owe several clubs money over a lot of transfers. This, and the new owner saying he only bought them to make a quick profit, spell certain doom for the club. Wouldn't be surprised if they were the first ever Premier League team to fold whilst in the Premier League.

Anyone else laugh at this ? Real Madrid losing 4-0 in the King's Cup to a team in the third tier of Spanish Football. Ok, so it's only the first leg but still amused me.

Great win for Arsenal in the Carling Cup against Liverpool, just got back. Well taken goals by Merida and Bendtner, as well as Insua for Liverpool. Don't think Rafa will be losing too much sleep about being out of the Carling Cup, though.

The thing that shocked me is that this isn't the first time it has happened to them either. Maybe the gulf in the Spanish leagues isn't as bit as the English leagues?

Marlon King was found guilty today of sexual assault and actual bodily harm after breaking a girl's nose after he had groped her and then she resisted his advances. He's been jailed for 18 months, and Wigan Athletic have confirmed that they are going to sack him.

From the sounds of things Burnley have used up their seasons worth of luck in the space of one game.
A dodgy penalty given in their favour. A Hull goal disallowed for seemingly no reason. A harsh sending off for Hull.
Still time left of course but it looks like Phil Brown could be going, and how unlucky he will be.

All falling apart for Liverpool again - losing 2-1 at Fulham, and red cards for both Degen and Carragher.

In fairness, he was unlucky today, but in reality he should have gone a long time ago. The guy is beyond useless at the top level.

Another 4-0 win for the mighty blues away at the Reebok is a fantastic result. How anyone thinks Liverpool will be a top 4 side let alone challenging for the title is beyond me.Watch them crash out of europe midweek as well.

In fairness, he was unlucky today, but in reality he should have gone a long time ago. The guy is beyond useless at the top level. Ah I think Phil Brown is treated very harshly. He took over a Hull team near the bottom of the Championship and within 2 years took them up to the promised land of the Premiership and then if that wasn't enough then managed to keep them up. Now I know they sort of scrambled pathetically to safety in the end but the fact is they still made it. He hasn't had that much money and it isn't like they are miles adrift at the bottom this season. A few wins and they would shoot up the table. What do Hull fans expect? European football? Sometimes I think it is better for managers not to get teams promoted because it attracts new fans to the club who are only there because they are in the big time. Then when things are going wrong they boo and moan and managers who have worked miracles to get them promoted in the first place are sacked like Billy Davies at Derby or Mick McCarthy at Sunderland.

It's proof how inferior the rest of the Liverpool team is when they instantly collapse the moment Torres is substituted. Amazing how much better Fulham were once he came off.

How anyone thinks Liverpool will be a top 4 side let alone challenging for the title is beyond me.Watch them crash out of europe midweek as well. They've been a Top 4 side every season for 8 out of the last 10 years so that's why people think that. They also finished above "the mighty Blues" last season if I recall, so the team who finishes runners-up is going to be seen as a viable challenge. Especially if they finished with (I think) the highest points total for a 2nd place team ever. The title challenge looked good on paper at the start of the season and then various injuries and inconsistency have knackered that. Not to mention the sale of Xabi Alonso. We're not going to win the league this year but as of right now we're one point off 4th place. Not exactly panic stations.
