Right now. Rangers 0-0 St Johnstone. again @Rousseau - dont worry about my predictions for the table - although I'll promoted and romping it next season.

Roger That. Fixture list is updated. Wycombe v Portsmouth - not a bad tie itself yet overshadowed by Villa v West Ham.

I dont get Clements interview. Also think he doesnt have the dressing room. I never like to be talking about changing manager but it might be the right time.

Wolves v Portsmouth - why is this on a friday night. Keep all matches to a saturday. Cant be because location - Villa are nearby and also kicking off Friday night. Looking forward to seeing Potter's team, if he gets it right then an away win is well on the cards. Arsenal v Man Utd obviously the pic of the bunch over the weekend.

The Europa form and table is keeping Clement in a job. Its still baffling how we can be so good on the continent yet dog awful domestically. I am leaning towards Clement he no answers in the bread and butter competition - the league. Yet his contract was extended to 2028 so getting rid isnt going to be easy. St Mirren, Motherwell, Hibs and Dundee = 3 points, that is very sackable.

Yeah but as he is out of contract in the summer I thought the remit would be just keep them in the league then start afresh. They must be thinking Ipswich and Wolves are capable of enough points to go past them. Id like to see what Dyche could do with a talented squad and money, he has been permanently firefighting

Potter came across well in his interview - not sure how the players will respond but I think the Hammers can get a result there. They have CHampions League to think about. Good match for a friday night though

Im surprised Everton pulled the plug on Dyche, I thought it would be just keep them up then change at the end of the season. Fonseca - available and known to the owners. Return for Moyes?

They are spreading the fixtures over about 5 days like internationals which for me lessons the competition.

Another bad move. The fans dont want Potter either. I certainly dont. What has he done? I wanted Thomas Frank but as I said the other day Sullivan is tighter than a ducks ass and never goes for managers that are in jobs. West Ham are a passioniate bunch and the manager has to win the fans over from day 1, the mood within the supporters groups is nothing like happy.

A total defensive overhaul isnt going to realistically happen, where are the funds coming from knowing a that clubs need at a minimum of 4 centre halfs. King is still young and not had a run so the jury is out if he is good enough. Nsiala hasnt kicked a ball. What happens if these two are duffers? I actually dont mind Propper, I think there is a half decent player in there and may settle better next season. He has done fine in Europe. Is Souttar not getting offered a new deal or something? going into the last year of his contract this should be sorted around now.

Newcastle v Spurs final would be refreshing but Liverpool will walk it in that tie. Arsenal are not firing, they had as strong a side out last night.

Financial Fair Play or Profit sustainability or whatever they want to call it. Crystal Palace are active - they have bids in for Ben Doak and Jobe Bellingham, that would be 2 cracking signings for them.

Throwing him in on a freezing night at Dens Park could put him out until the end of the season! But yeah, him and King needs minutes.

Craig Moore in midfield was awful but Advocaat recognised this and brought him back to be a quality centre half.

Unofficial reports that West Ham have sacked Lopetegui publicly and Potter to be appointed but there are also rumours Steve Cooper is being lined up. Potter has met with DOF Steidten and Karen Brady is mates with Potters wife. Getting rid of Lopetegui is the right decision but Sullivan has done the dirty unprofessional thing by admitted the talks with Potter without being man enough to inform the current manager. Everton are also pushing for Potter but additional rumours are that Potter is waiting for the Tottenham job.

If its not postponed then: Dundee 0-2 Rangers Cerny FGS

Id take Evans until the end of the season, if he is fit then he would stroll the league and his experience could be invaluable. He is a top professional. Would be interesting to know if he could then play against Man Utd in the Europa. I am against Davies coming back, he was a bad buy. Much rather King get a run.

Absolutely superb Forest. They keep marching on. 40 point mark in January, level on points with Arsenal. This is a team that was 17th last season. The manager is good, he did well with Wolves, Spurs never gave him a chance and he is 16 points ahead of them plus 17 points ahead of Man Utd. Next up for Forest is Liverpool at home next midweek - win that and they are in a serious place. On the title race, this is intriguing: Arsenal next 2 games are Tottenham and Aston Villa both at home. Liverpool next 2 games are Forest and Brentford both away. Forest have got Liverpool and Southampton both at home.

There is always the option that was mooted years ago of calling apple and asking them to sponsor the stadium I-brox

They were in Dubai this time last year then went back and won about 10 in a row.

Thursday was the toughest MOTM to choose, this one is won already.

I think we touched on commentators before but this thread is like Heroes and Legends. I suppose there is some legendary commentators. I started watching Scotsport and Sportscene as well as listening to the radio in the mid 80s so had Jock Brown, Archie McPherson on the telly with Alastair Alexander and David Begg on the Radio. Archie Oooomph McPherson is certainly legendary for me while the other 3 had good commenting voices. Wasnt a fan of Gerry McNee and the current commentator for Scottish game on Sky Ian Crocker has the worst voice. Down south Martin Tyler is my favourite commentator off all time, pipping Archie. Tyler and Gray were easily the best. But Sky and TNT at the moment are awful with the exception of Super Ally. BBC and ITV are also poor now, John Motson was good but I think Barry Davies was a bit dull although he would be a big improvement now.

Glad Man Utd got the equalizer, keeps the title race open slightly. If Everton can get something in the last Merseyside Derby at Goodison then it will be bang on. Arsenal are capable of going on a 6 game winning run and they can win at Anfield later in the season. Ipswich are the team at the bottom grafting points now, Southampton are gone and Leicester appointing Ruud has backfired so far. Wolves will climb up the league with a good coach now. Tonight will be a entertaining game, a Forest win would be really impressive.

Just been going through the thread since I got up. Couple of points. Cammy mentioned Moyes - This is interesting. With West Ham being my English side I wanted him out after the UCL win. He is a very short term manager. In saying that his approach would be exactly what we need right now - we would play very deep at the back and he would shore up the defence big time - but going forward he just relies on the attackers doing their job. As for it being possible - I think he would jump at the chance as no other English Prem team will touch him unless its for the last 10 games of a season to stay up. Plus there would be no compensation package. If Clement was to leave then I think this is a real possibility. On Clement - He has clearly shown in spells he can be a good coach, from Oct 23 when he came in until that Ross County defeat he was making good progress. In Europe this season we have been a different side so it suggests to me he is suited to the continental game. But domestically Im not sure he has a clue what to do when he has to change a game - making subs is have the job but to change the system is part 2 and thats where he falls short. Ive doubts if he can improve on this, he comes across too nice. Wee blue devil mentioned the only hope is an Atlantic idea - if the big clubs in Europe get their Super league dream then Id say this would happen. Id rather be playing Ajax and Copenhagen than Livingston away etc.
