Surely Bagpuss will get the sack now?

Then he'll be available in the summer to return to his native north-east and take on a managerless club up there.

Sort of what I thought. Some Big Cheese there said that most of the fans would accept the decision though because <paraphrase>Hearts would be nowhere without Romanov</paraphrase>

I can sort of see what he means but if I were a Hearts fan I'd be a bit worried by the whole ruthlessness of it all. I would have given Rix longer personally as the club were doing all right. I know he was on a short contract and it's not my millions but...dunno. It's definitely exciting up there at the mo

Ah well. Crappy defending prevented a draw. Can't say I'm too disappointed, but boy we need some new strikers.

Yeah, we've been playing sommething like a 1 ('keeper)-2-4-0 lately.

Disappointed to be out, but almost thrilled we weren't on the end of a stuffing of Birmingham proportions.

EDIT: Oh, and:

Much as I am bitter at the fact that Arsenal won't be making their annual visit to Cardiff in May this year, it would be nice for a team outside of the "big 4" to actually win it this time around.

Bollocks to the big 4 - I want a different team to win everything just about every year.

They can have Jim Leishman for, ooh, a Tunnock's Caramel Wafer.

Dunfermline'd get the better end of that deal.

Oh what is Benitez on about? Spurs deperate to sell Defoe? I doubt it.

This is all stemming from agents I'm sure, but Benitez should know better than to add fuel to the rumours.
