With a bit of luck Everton can put a decent run together and finish above Chelsea and Arsenal
What a great league table this would be, which is given club form not that unlikely at the moment:
1. Villa
2. Utd
3. RS
4. Everton
5. Arse
6. Chelsea

You'd get better odds on Kevin Keegan taking the reins at Stamford Bridge.

Good ole Roy eh? What's he at these days anyway, seemed to just dissapear when he left Liverpool.

According to Sky - it's Greenback or Hiddink. Even the players at Portsmouth thought Grant was shite - they used to call him BBC, which stood for "Bibs, Balls and Cones" because that was pretty much all his coaching repertoire consisted of.

BBC are reporting that Hiddink is in talks about taking over at Chelsea until the end of the season. He'd do it in tandem with the Russia job.

Actually the standard that causes them to sack their manager seem to be getting lower and lower - their most successful manager was sacked for not winning everything, the Baron was sacked because John Terry fell over, and Scolari was sacked because they are only seven points behind the league leaders in February.
The next guy will probably be sacked because he wasnt able to qualify for the UEFA Cup.

Currently the Assistant Manager for Wales and possibly some coaching capacity at Wrexham.

WTF!
The BBC are running a story about how chelsea are in talks with hiddink.
So the picture they put on their homepage is of zola and clarke, naturally.
Then in the actual story...
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/chelsea/7879782.stm
there's a quote in a feature box from zola's "lawyer", and another picture of them both despite the fact that they're not even mentioned in the story until right at the end.. after hiddink, ancelotti et al.
why?

you're probably right. It just seemed a little incongruous "chelsea open talks with hiddink"... next to a picture of zola and clarke.

Saying that a couple of months back I heard Garth Crooks (not to be mixed up with Brooks, as I often do) refer to himself as a Journalist, rather than a football pundit.
If he's been at the keybourd, who knows what might be writing....

"From the start No one really seemed interested in the actual probability of Scolari succeeding in a European league, with all the attention going towards the fact he was a World Cup winning manager. Christ, Avram Grant could have won the World Cup with the players Scolari had to work with. Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo and Roberto Carlos were amongst the superstars Scolari had to pick from, before we even mention the mighty Kleberson! No seriously, who the f*ck couldn’t win the World Cup with that team?
That aside, nobody seemed arsed to look and see whether previous South American World Cup winning managers made a success of their careers in the domestic leagues of Europe.
No South American World Cup winning manager had made a success of their career in the domestic leagues of Europe, not a single one. Yet Chelsea were favourites to win the league because their new managers won the World Cup with some of the most talented footballers of the modern era!
Not much attention was paid to the fact he had five years with a supremely talented Portugal side, yet massively underperformed with them. Losing to Greece in the final of Euro 2004, when they were the host nation, losing in the semi-finals of the World Cup two years later, before only reaching the quarters in the most recent European Championships. In fact, in a career spanning 26 years, he has just 15 trophies to his name and some of them were from bloody Kuwait! What was the hype all about?
So Scolari has been sacked and Chelsea are on the look-out for a new manager. If United win our game in hand we’re 10 points clear of them.
Chelsea were our only real threat for the title this season and their decision to sack their manager now hands it to us on a plate. Cheers Kenyon, you w*nker"

Nah, we've already handed it to you on a plate. Chelsea will improve now, just you see, but still won't be anywhere near United at the end of the season. Right now, I'd settle for third.

what's sadder? talking about football in the football forum?
or coming onto the football forum to moan about people talking about football?
you're just feeling left out stobes.

Exasperated, not angry.
that it's Hiddink on a short-term contract (as probly already agreed between him and Abramovich) before getting Ancelotti for next season?
Strikes me as the most obvious.
Refused as fuck
"ethnic pakistani tosser"
Dennis Wise.
hardly likely to say no when Abramovich pays his wages Your right actually. On the radio last night the footy writer from the Mirror said Chelsea should pursue martin O'Neill.

It all started while Mourinho was still in charge and Abramovich started to undermine him by employing the likes of Greenback and Arnesen. It's been a total disaster ever since really...
"Total disaster" is a trifle over the top, no?*
"Bit of a wobble" might be more apt. And a Chelsea-bit-of-a-wobble would suit pretty much every other club in the world tbh; rich as fuck, very good players (some injured currently of course) still in the CL, 4th in the EPL etc etc etc.
*see Luton Town, L££ds Utd et al.
