I agree Saint, Wigan is a poor club and it's fans are the worst we have seen here at the Stadium of Light, but I can't help but like Martinez.


I would have liked Blackburn to go to and for the same reasons, I would also add that Steve Kean is a rather annoying individual.


My money is on him to be first sacked next year

If Blackburn had gone down yesterday, it wouldn't have been the first time they'd have been relegated after sacking their manager earlier in the same season. IIRC, when they went down in 1998/99 they did so after giving Roy Hodgson his jotters in the first half of that season after a poor start. The thing is, Hodgson had taken them into Europe the previous season.

Got to say that I'm really surprised. If it had been Cashley Cole or someone of his ilk, I wouldn't have been the least bit surprised, but not Giggs.

I know. I was shocked. First time I'd ever heard it was Ryan Giggs.

I was hoping David had picked up the sarcasm baton and ran with it, but I'm not so sure...

There is also a rumour doing the rounds that another footballer has a similar injunction out.


After yesterday's events I'm sure it'll be keenly fought if there is.

Heard a few whispers mentioning the toon legend and there has been plenty regarding a certain player at Liverpool over the last year.

Up until a year or so ago, many people reckoned that Tiger Woods was a perfect role model for youngsters, and yet look at what we later learned about some aspects of his private life.

I think it's safe to say that Shearer was not porking Gabby Logan, given that Gabby Logan has publicly labelled the rumour a pile of bobbins - something she wouldn't have been allowed to do if under the icy grip of a superinjunction.


When there's such secrecy about, it's inevitable that entirely innocent people will have scurrilous rumours started about them - causing wrongful distress and the need to publicly refute them.
