| Palermo’s managerial madness continues in Serie A Posted: 14 Mar 2013 02:38 AM PDT Brian McDermott was sacked this week, which instigated a period of fawning from various media outlets about how badly the Reading manager had been treated. Not as if his side were close to relegation or anything. Instead, lets put this in perspective by looking at the managerial record of Palermo in Serie A, whose President [...] |
| Notts County heat their pitch with ‘cannabis’ heaters Posted: 14 Mar 2013 02:22 AM PDT I think that we can file this under ‘inventive’. League One club Notts County is planning to use lamps to heat their pitch and help the grass grow. Nothing unusual there, apart from that the lamps will be sourced from a police raid, and have previously been used to grow cannabis in the local area. [...] |

Now 33, it appears that Traore has been keeping something rather special in his locker – the ability to produce a thwacking volley that hit the underside of the bar [...] |

| Chelsea boss Rafa Benitez expects to be blamed for fixture pile-up Posted: 14 Mar 2013 01:52 AM PDT Chelsea’s interim manager Rafa Benitez has joked that he expected the club’s supporters to blame him for their current fixture congestion. The Blues have a busy run-in. They have been playing fixture catch-up for most of the season after a trip to the Club World Cup and a run to the semi-finals of the Capital [...] |
| Video: Millwall beat Blackburn to reach FA Cup semi-final Posted: 14 Mar 2013 01:39 AM PDT Millwall captain Danny Shittu headed his side to Wembley in last night’s FA Cup quarter-final replay against Blackburn. The centre-back scored the only goal of the game as the Lions defeated Rovers to set up a semi-final clash against Wigan. Rovers fans might be keen to see how their side fared with the help of [...] |
| Posted: 14 Mar 2013 01:31 AM PDT Nani’s red card against Real Madrid prompted much debate as to whether or not it was merited. Most Manchester United fans protested that it was an incorrect decision. And Roy Keane gleefully took up the case for the referee.
