Start a thread with a poll. It's the in-thing to do regarding managerial situations!

That's Leicesterpool's job lol

I considered it, but then I realised that doing so might ruin Leicesterpool's life...

Liverpool target Johan Cruyff for senior role

Johan Cruyff is among the names being targeted by Liverpool after Damien Comolli's departure as director of football, BBC Sport understands. Reds owners Fenway Sports Group (FSG) have yet to draw up a definitive shortlist to replace Comolli. But the Dutchman, 64, has impressed FSG chief John W Henry in his senior roles with Ajax and Chivas in Mexico.

It remains to be seen if Cruyff, who currently manages the Catalan national side, would be open to the approach.

This had better not happen, my respect for Cruyff would plummet. I can't see him being interested but stranger things have happened.

Aguero and Tevez has to be the greatest strike partnership in the PL this season (maybe ever?).

I'm not quite sure how you can come to that conclusion when Tevez has been AWOL for 6 months. I bet they've not even played 10 games together.

Perhaps if that selfish muppet hadn't swanned off City would have won the league.

As for the best, Henry and Bergkamp must be up there.

Lovely dive by Young. Rooney scores the PK. 1-0

Getting almost as good as Ronaldo....

Might consider a bet on Villa going down next season if I can find a decent price, If Villa play like they have this season next season they'll certainly be relegation contenders, they've been awful this season.

Always difficult to replace O'Neill should never have let him leave.

The thing is, yes, it probably was a foul. Similar to the one Tevez received yesterday and got booked for, though he didn't throw himself to the ground so theatrically.

And the defending for the second goal- what was he doing leaving the ball?

Never a penalty in my opinion, he threw himself to the floor (very theatrically) after minimal contact was made.....and then Dwight Yorke claims it was the right decision, not biased much.

Actually, having seen it again, it's not like the Tevez one. Young kicks the foot of the Villa defender away.

And how can the commentators say the Carrick booking was unlucky or did I see something completely different?

As I said Shameful!

Young clearly changes direction to cause contact with the villa players leg and then blatantly dives....

I though it was a 50/50 at first and should have been play on. After the replay it shows Carrick getting there slightly late.

I don't think that sort of tackle should warrant a yellow though, they've both committed to a tackle in a non-dangerous manner, Carrick's just unlucky he got there a moment late. Free kick, fair enough but a yellow just seems pointless, what's he being punished for?

Getting there late is not unlucky it's bad timing and if you can't time it correctly you shouldn't attempt it, he caught the players legs. Yellows are a lottery granted but I doubt they'd be questioning it if it hadn't have been one of the 'top' team's players.

Just seems like typical commentator top team bias.

Rooney doesn't seem to have any control of the ball at all at the moment, been pretty terrible.
