Congratulations Wigan Athletic!

 
What a performance
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Is that anything like hacky sack?

A worthy MOTM:  

Up in Sunderland they are.

Good job I remembered to record Dr Who.

That fellow Getty takes some nice photos.

Agree Steve, excellent value for the win, City never turned up. I really hope they stay up as well.

Hi,

Unbelievable ... I'm inclined to believe that some players want to get rid of Mancini, and are not trying hard enough to get anywhere.

I also think that Mancini, playing games with his players is not helping the issue a whole lot. And last year was Carlos that almost saved him and his job, and this year he threw Ballotelli out and he would have gladly taken his 6 or 7 goals already in the Italian League, which could have made the difference for 3 games, easily enough, if not more.

All in all, though, the end of the year rumors are malicious and sick ... a manager helps you win 75% of your games, and you want to get rid of him? ... sick ... just sick! Fans and idiots, obviously never learned anything from SAF and his 20-some years ... or worse, this day and age, there is no loyalty and no one cares, and some owners are the scum of the earth that got there by robbing banks!

One all the know managerial moves have taken place (and maybe a couple of unplanned ones as well?) there will literally be a handful of managers who will have been at the same club for longer than 12 months.

Currently it's:

Fergie: 26y 6m
Wenger: 16y 9m
Moyes: 11y 2m
Pulis: 10y 6m
Martinez: 3y 11m
Mancini: 3y 6m
Pardew: 2y 6m
Jol: 1y 11m
Allardyce: 1y 11m
Rodgers: 11m
Lambert: 11m
Clarke: 11m
Laudrup: 11m
Houghton: 11m
AVB: 10m
Rafa: 7m
Redknapp: 6m
Pochettino: 4m
Adkins: 2m
Di Canio: 2m

With Fergie & Moyes moving, question marks over Mancini & Martinez, & Pardew may well face the chop if the 'Toon  are relegated that will only leave Wenger, Pullis, Allardyce & Jol.

There was no need for Clive Tyldesley to remind everyone of Ian Porterfield and Bob Stokoe though

There's actually no need for Clive Tyldesley, or come to think of it, Any Townsend either

Definitely Col.
 
I'd promote Roy Keane to the commentary box, at least he wouldn't just state the bloody obvious.
