I didn't expect that either, and I know there's quite a few WBA fans on here, a certain Mr Hopkirk springs to mind foremost.

[tonyav]

Yep.
4th in the league and he's sacked !

Must be that they could only draw with bottom of the league Ipswich today. I think the Baggies got boo'd off the pitch as well.

[Zacs-Master]

Ridiculous thing to do with about 10 games to go and in the play off zone. Unless the team weren’t happy with him.

[Arksided]

I did hear on the radio that they were a bit 'Lacklustre' today, but even so it is quite ridiculous thing to do.. unless of course there is more going on that we're unaware of.

[tonyav]

I wonder if they ( WBA ) have tapped up a new manager.

[Zacs-Master]

Even so. Bit of bad timing!

[Arksided]

Hey, Ole Gunnar Solskjær is staying where he is... don't even suggest such a thing ;-) Seriously though you could well be right.

[Canary42]

They probably tappped up Paul Lambert at today's match.

Norwich did the same some years ago, when Paul was at Colchester who had beaten Norwich 6-1 or something like that. He then moved to Norwich and got them promotion that same season.

[tonyav]

Dangerous time of the season to be swapping managers when your 4th in the league right now though, Canary. New manager ( who ever that maybe ) can't make any new signings until this season is over.
( anyhoo, Lambert was crap at the Villa ).

[Arksided]

It wasn't Lambert at Villa that was crap and you know it ;-)

[tonyav]

Shaddap you ^^^^^^ ;-)

[1ozzy]

Calm down boys, it's only a game ;-/

[tonyav]

it's only a game ;-/

WOT !

[1ozzy]

Yeah, righto, I'll get back in me box.

[Arksided]

He's an Ozzie that happens to be 'mi ol' love spud :-) I think he belongs in the Cricket section.

[tonyav]

LOL, it's the proper big un tomorrow, 1ozzy. Birmingham City v Aston Villa ( 12 o clock midday kick off ). I'd advise you very strongly to not say 'It's only a game' ;-)

[1ozzy]

When I bought a bag of potatoes this morning I thought of you Arky.

[Arksided]

Ozzie, I do miss our little chats.... since the music thread has gone... and Cupid seems to have being quiet lately.

[1ozzy]

Same here, you angelic vampire muppet.

Point taken Tony, I shall whisper it vewy vewy quietwy ;-)

[tonyav]

You might attract her back though ( hope so, I miss the little minx ).
