Whatever the opposite of the new manager 'bounce' is, Zola is getting it at Birmingham in spades.

Swansea need to find a manager quick - just to get some organisation into them.

I like Zola and don't have any particular ill will towards Birmingham, but I'm a little glad it's not working out so far. Replacing a manager who was doing great with a 'name' is something I've seen go wrong first hand.

Apparently Man U had a good goal ruled out for a "high foot" (no doubt aided by the opposition goalie rolling around for 5 minutes).

They will know how everyone else feels now when a harsh decision goes against them!



Birmingham pulled it back to 2-2..

Maybe Zola is going to get some joy.

The amount of decisions that went their way over the last 10 years was stupid. Now it's going the other way. I have to say i laughed when Boro scored.

This is the decision, make up your own mind as to how this was a foul by the attacking player:-

It seems that Swansea think Paul Clement is the man to keep them up

If only they sacked Bob Bradlley a few weeks ago. Then they could have got Sam Allardyce

He did it with Sunderland last season. And that was an even tougher job

Man City turned up in this half..

Will Liverpool rue those missed chances?

No, because we have won the game

Man City were pretty poor though

I have a feeling Pep will buy in January

Yes - wasn't quite the classic people might have hoped for.

Aguero, as great a player he is, whenever he comes back from a mini break he takes a few games to warm up his goal scoring boots. By the time he is banging them in again City will have dropped too many points.

Just cannot see Man City winning the title this season.

City will be very fortunate to finish above us, their defence is shockingly poor despite spending an ungodly amount of cash on so many different defenders.

I'm not so sure about you know. Swansea are having a torrid time. Sunderland have a history of coming back at the death of a season and have done it time and again but Swansea look devoid of all hope. It's looking like they could go down the same way Villa did,

Ah but John Stones needs time - he's young and still learning...

Well that is what the pundits will say but for 50 million I suspect the Man City fans would demand someone a bit more ready made..

I know he isn't the only one having a mare which as you say given the money spent must be a concern..

After all there is only so much you can keep paying...

At the halfway point Man City are ahead of you, so it wouldn't take an exceeding amount of luck.

From browsing their supporters' forums it seems that a fair number of City fans are already cheesed off with Pep. It's certainly not gone the way they were expecting, but I'm not sure they should be really surprised. Ditching Hart for Bravo and only reinforcing an aging defence with the ropey Stones didn't particularly bode well from the start.

Costa looks nailed on for player of the season.

A cocky thing to say considering they're above you right now.

Not cocky just confident, there is a difference, and three points is not really that much a gap at this stage, if they were in Chelsea's position points wise, then you would have a fair point about position wise, but they are not.
