It looks like Wigan’s points deduction will only be applied this season if they finish outside of the bottom three, which of course it very much looks...

I have often wondered the same about Brentford. We played so well in that first 45 - our best all season including the West Brom away win I would say....

Thanks Werder. Always appreciate the preview. Nothing I can debate in your post - agree with all of it. I'm not getting too excited. Whilst delighte...

And now the remaining four who were out of conract have signed waivers to continue playing until season’s end:

just a rumour but I heard that a scouting role was the level being offered (or thought about) to Woodgate. I would think that a clean break woul...

So Howson has signed a contract extension. The way the news is worded, it sounds like an additional year on his current terms. If so, I imagine that i...

I said before the game that I thought it was quite an attacking line-up that Warnock went with. The more I look at it, the more I think that it really...

The wingbacks was my interpretation. Interesting choices. Would prefer Coulson generally to Johnson and I don’t see a natural holding midfielder in...

I go back to the side I hoped for for the Swansea game (minus Ayala for obvious reasons) Pears Shotton Moukoudi Fry Spence Howson Clayton Coulso...

I suspect that those decisions were taken a while ago, probably before or around Christmas time. I would imagine that Woodgate would have had a reason...

@jarkko Spot on Jarkko. I agree with all of that.

@original-fat-bob Not sure which post you are replying to OFB?

@stircrazy Another interesting paragraph: “Was Woodgate found wanting or was he placed in an impossible situation? As ever with these things, it...

Remember that Warnock got the best out of Abel Taraabt at QPR and I think it must have been him that signed Tomlin for Cardiff. I don’t see him as 100...

@Werdermouth Seconded. Also a welcome back to @ForeverDormo, who posted earlier.

Woodgate's statement: "Today was a day that I hoped would never come, but I’ve been in football long enough to know that these things happen. To be ...

@grovehillwallah Expect to see Britt selected on reputation - the very opposite of Robbie Mustoe in that respect who always had to work his way back i...

@werdermouth Funnily enough I was also thinking about recent off-field developments, and wondered how the immediate appointment of Warnock falls in li...

@exmil I can't recall if I managed to enter Part 1. If I did I will enter part 2 for a bit of fun. Do you know? Thanks, Andy.

I agree with that, Deleriad. Last summer, the club was in as poor a position as it has been in any time during Steve Gibson's chairmanship. All the mo...

So Woodgate has indeed gone and is replaced by Warnock. Something had to be done.

@plato if Karanka was an option, I must admit I would take it. As I’ve said, I wouldn’t rule out JW becoming a decent manager in time but forget tha...

Thanks for the report, RR. Like the rest of us, you probably need a lie down after that first half but I actually wish we were playing midweek so we d...

I said that I hoped that team would work before the game. Nothing more than hope and unconvincing at that. How, with a fully fit squad to pick from,...

Moukoudi not in the squad.

@werdermouth3-5-2 with Howson as RWB and Coulson on the left? Not sure. it’s not a front two many saw coming but let’s hope it works.

Well this is all very swanky. Hats off to you Werdermouth - just when we thought we had it all you go and make it better still! I hope everyone can mi...
