I can't believe that about Steve Shocking decision, so many mangers getting sacked and just before Christmas, heartless *****

P.s. WTF were Arsenal doing letting City thrash them like that :/

When they showed Jack doing it...

They showed it for a split second, than went to another player.. I was thinking did Jack just give the finger..

Steve Clarke will get a job soon

[Irakozium257 350]

LOL, check out what those morons at arsenal-mania are saying in their match thread against us.. Oh how it could be wonderful to beat them at their sh*thole with 3 or more goals, just to inflict them more misery and total depression. Here's to hoping a god-like Torres performance, a David Luiz/Lampard free-kick goal, and Bane/Terry header goals, etc!

Struggling to get the logic behind WBA sacking Steve Clarke....

[Ryan Fong 2,776]

Please come home Stevie!!!! Sort our defense out!

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

If anything Arsenal will be tougher to beat now.We aren't in terrific form either and our recent performances have showed that.

A brief moment of link up play does us well and then the rest of match we are left defending the lead.We just have to win the game against Arsenal,a draw won't be bad either but 3 points would be a huge psychological boost to the squad.

There is no point predicting the line up as most of our players are doing well so I'll be happy with whatever Jose picks.The important thing is to be consistent for the whole game and not l lose focus.

[Sidzeret 2,257]

No, but don't believe me...Look @ the stats:

CFC last 5 results in all comps wwlww

le arse last 5 results in all comps lldww

they are not an in-form side.

draw against everton, loss to napoli, loss to city and believe me they got outplayed in all of these 3 matches. not a sign of an in-form team.

if we had had such results, we would be in "crisis" by now.

Alright. Then i reckon it'll be easy for us next Saturday.

[Sidzeret 2,257]

United, maybe. Can't do any worse than that clueless Scot.

But then again Steve will not accept, out of respect to a rival mid-table side.

Perhaps a little bit of research on West Brom's results will help to answer your logic there..

If you look at West Brom's results...http://www.wba.co.uk/fixtures-results/fixtures-list/

Other than the loss at home to Swansea & Norwich, I doubt they would have done much better under another manager...

[Spike 12,049]

Struggling to get the logic behind WBA sacking Steve Clarke....

Because there seems to be an idea that Steve Clarke is a really good manager because WBA punched above their weight for a few months in 2011?

[Special Juan 28,143]

Fetch him back here.

It isn't just about the results this season but also the last. Look at their results since the start of 2013. WBA have played 34 league games this year and won only 7 of them, drawing 10 and lost 17.

Didn't expect Steve Clarke to get the sack just yet at this moment but then again looking at the results, it's probably one that has been coming perhaps. They have a good squad and should be doing better but aren't.

My mates a baggies fan and called this three weeks ago.

[TrippingStep 336]

Tip to English team owner, hire good coaches from the spanish league or spanish educated coach.

Argentina and Spanish teams in the end of the 90's and 2000's have always been the teams I liked watching the most.

Arsenal, Citeh & Chelsea looking to have secured the top three spots between them. I believe, the PL winner will come out of these three teams. Even though, Arsenal got hammered yesterday, 6 to 3, just like in tennis match, they will recover from it. There are not many teams in PL that can survive the relentless Citeh attack at Etihad.

As for Chelsea´s chances for the title, despite of playing shit, just maybe in January a player or two might be bought & the team starts rolling, finally.

I think the title is between City and Chelsea...Arsenal have done well this season but fatigue will cause problems to their team.

Then again they were saying the same thing about Southampton with Nigel Adkins, and look how that turned up.

Although if you look at his form from the calendar year - 9 wins from 41 games is pretty abysmal.

Problem is, there aren't many Pochetino's sitting around. Plus, Steve is no Nigel Adkins. He's worked in some of the biggest clubs in the country. He practically managed us during Grant's reign.
