So, Sir Bobby Robson gets the sack. Well done Newcastle. Much like Southampton, the chairman has taken matters into his hands to try and solve a problem that lies with himself. Freddie Shepherd bought and sold players without Sir Bobby's input and then expects him to deal with the consequences. 4 games into the season, not a good start, but he's out.

Does this mean that other managers who don't have the same sort of the start are due for the axe? Is Rafael Benitez's job safe? Afterall, Liverpool have 4 points, the same as Newcastle. Man Utd aren't fairing much better. Is Sir Alex Fergie's job safe? Who's next?

Football in this country has become a joke. We expect to much from it. We demand entertainment. What we get is football. A transfer matters more than a game. Rumour is rife just to cover tv time, radio airspace and newspaper columns. Today we get a story that Sir Clive Woodward wants to manage a football team!!! Who, where and how do these stories start?

What's next? Player wages continue to spiral. Managers get sacked every other week. Sky makes more and more money from poor saps who do nothing but pay their subscriptions.

The bubble will burst. It's coming. One day it will become so fundamentally fucked up that no one will care anymore.
