Arsenal are said to be talking to Jens Lehman about his return to Emirates.

Wow... they must be getting a bit desperate if they need to hire someone within the week. What kind of salary can a 41-year old keeper expect to demand these days? To put it more simply, what are Lehmann's terms?

Ridiculous decision by the FA. How is it that a coach speaking his opinion (which wasn't even that harsh) is grounds for a touchline ban? And for that matter, where are the bans for everyone else? Every coach says things that could be taken badly, yet SAF seems to attract touchline bans like moths to the flame...
Anyways, it should be an interesting end. We'll see if the Guns can yet again pull themselves out of the jaws of victory to snatch defeat!

I agree. Referees are often 🤬 and bans for speaking one's mind are utterly ridiculous. I'd love to see Manchester United get Ferguson a seat just behind the bench at Old Trafford, so he is technically in the stands, probably with smug face
It's not that bad either, we're playing mid- and low-table teams (Bolton, WHU, Everton, Fulham) in Premier League and City in FA Cup. That's the one I'm worrying the most about as it is very likely this is last trophy City can win this season (with their current form, I can't see them beating Dynamo Kiev with more than one goal).
By the way, Avram Grant has also been charged for same thing.
FA policy on this matters is incredibly daft.

I mean, how could that end goalless?
Very displeased with United's performance today, it's a miracle we got three points. I hope Holden will be fine soon 👍
4-0, that's harsh for Newcastle, they still can get relegated. But they play Wolves and Birmingham at home, so they should be ok.
West Brom 2 Arsenal 2, before the game I'd be happy with this result, but I'm a bit disappointed with it now, as WBA had really good opportunity to get three points. Still, 4 points from 2 matches with Arsenal is quite good. And signing Lehman makes perfect sense now
I feel that goals by Jarvis, Hoilett and Figueroa will be very important at the end of the season.

At least Sunderland are sitting mid-table at the minute, could take a few seasons before we can reach the Europa League spots

Are you having a laugh? He gets away with murder most of the time. It really pisses me off how he can just decide he doesn't have to talk to the media because they lost and no one does anything. Any other manager would be punished, I believe Mourinho was at least warned about something like that. Rooney elbows the dude in the face, no card, ref smiles and pats him on the back....FA does nothing, FIFA call up "Why the hell haven't you done anything?" FA still does nothing.
I'm a liverpool fan and we get away with some things well, but Man Utd are on another level.

Yes, I agree some of the decisions that go (or don't go) for United are bollocks. However, I also think that the FA needs to take a serious look at the consistency of its rulings, in all cases. There are far too many times when players or managers say things that could be construed as offensive and get away with it (ref in a Newcastle jersey on Twitter comes to mind), then there are times when one person makes one comment that was clearly not well thought out and gets a 5(?) game ban for it.
The FA needs to decide what the penalty for "dissension" with officials is and enforce it in ALL cases, ALL the time. It's farcical the way their rulings vary these days.
Ideally, they would realize how far up their own 🤬 they are and just let the managers get away with saying what they're thinking, but I doubt that will happen. I don't understand, when they are asked in an interview to give their own opinion of how the match went, they are still expected to tow the FA's line of 'the officials are always right' when that's clearly not how they feel. I understand the idea of professional integrity and courtesy, but I don't see how it's the FA's business to make sure someone isn't making a fool of their own reputation in the media. The onus of enforcing professionalism should be on the clubs, not the FA. Why is it not up to the manager's employer whether or not their comments crossed the line?
At the end of the day, the FA's decision is the FA's decision. We can 🤬 & moan all we want, and it won't change anything. I just feel that this is yet another way in which football is quickly descending into farce with its kung-fu grip on tradition. It's time for changes, and not just with the FA.

Not hoping for much in the way of beating Manchester City today, especially seen as I saw first hand (I went to the SoL) last week the terrible display against Liverpool

Quoting yasserkhaled from Twitter:
BTW: Anybody else seen Leeds beat Forest 4-1? Score definitely doesn't reflect the flow of the game, Cohen's sending off was a wrong decision, as Cohen touched the ball first. Very good goal by McCleary 👍
That pretty much sums up my opinion.

I thought Cohen deserved to go off... two-footed sliding tackle, both feet off the ground... he may have got the ball, but he also got the man... it may have only been a yellow in some games, but it was a reckless challenge nevertheless. Good game, though - although the sending off really swayed the game in Leeds' favour.
