The best way is to get rid of some of the players who simply can't cope is to get rid of them in time and bring in players who simply don't bottle it every time the going gets tough.

I think a big sacking this season will be Mourinho. No matter how big he is. Abramowich wont put up with Chelsea being in the bottom half of the table - l think they are about 6th from bottom.

Unthinkable, and l don't support them. I can see Chelsea offering him a way out - and after the farce at the weekend, with NO managership on the bench - unheard of

Newcastle United’s appeal against Fabricio Coloccini’s dismissal during Sunday’s derby fixture at Sunderland has been successful.

His decision to send off Fabricio Coloccini and award a penalty in first half stoppage time was absolutely staggering and completely changed the course of the game that seemingly had only one conclusion.

Rob Elliot was slow off his line and Coloccini's shoulder charge was unnecessary but how the officials managed to decide that the diving Steven Fletcher had been denied a goalscoring opportunity was scandalous.

Yet somehow Robert Madley escapes again. Chris Foy rings a bell too, Spurs offside goal last year. How can you expect the standard of refereeing to go up if you just rescind red cards? You're basically saying the referee is wrong but leaving it at that.

Oh dear Arsenal making fools of themselves again tonight.

Meh. More worried about the injuries. Don't understand why we were playing players we need for the league in the league cup.

[denphone]

l just cannot understand it when these top sides play most of their best players in League cup matches as they should be blooding and seasoning their younger players more to give them important experience.

Ok I don't really care about losing but losing by several goals isn't ideal.

Well the door is now firmly ajar for the special one to make his exit in these coming days and weeks.

How have Chelski done

[denphone]

Well they have gone the same way as England usually do.

Damn. Just leaves the treble then.... Being serious, apart from not winning, I can't knock the commitment and effort they put in. But when it ain't going your way....

[denphone]

Yes l know exactly what you mean Mr P.

Fabricio Coloccini will not serve a one-match suspension after his wrongful dismissal claim was successful.
An Independent Regulatory Commission found that the match referee had made an obvious error in dismissing the Newcastle United defender for denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity during the game against sunderland on Sunday 25 October 2015.

Newcastle United have been charged for failing to control their players in relation to their reaction to the match referee’s decision.

The club have until 6pm on 30 October 2015 to respond to the charge.

So let's just get this straight, the referee drops an almighty b*ll*ck drastically altering the course of the game and the FA take exception to the Newcastle players for rightfully suggesting that he's wrong.

Surely the extent of Madley's error excuses whatever reaction that follows, due to extreme provocation? One follows the other and the ferocity of our response merely mirrors the stupidity of the original decision?

Newcastle's correct response to the FA should be of no more than four words

Couldn't make it up

Well that was a waste of several hours of my life. didn't wait for the penalty shoot out at OT, only just caught the last tram and arrived home well after midnight.

Question, if you have five Englishmen and five foreigners in your team, which of them do you trust with penalties?
