Two of those have been linked already...Claudio 'I want another job' Ranieri and Sven Goran 'Got to keep my name in the papers' Erikkson both talked themselves into the frame without anyone else thinking of them today too

Curbs it is then, I'd be well happy with that if I was a Hammer. I felt sorry for Pardew to be honest, he got so much stick when he was first there then turns it round after last season now he's got the chop. I suppose it makes sense though before the January transfer window. Classic players should lump most of the blame example in my opinion
Just come back from Villa v Man Utd, and think I've just seen the 2006/07 champions. Utd didn't need to get out of 2nd gear - if they wanted to, I'm sure they could have scored 10. Rio was immense, Neville had great game too but Scholes, Ronaldo and Giggs were awesome.
The good times could be back at Old Trafford. Villa have been dissapointing of late, Mr Lerner's cash will come in handy. Funnily enough Lerner's and the Glazer's American football teams also face off tonight.

Same reason Arsenal paid £12m for Theo Walcott: Potential. Dangerous game admittedly and you are right to infer that this value is inflated.
