Dear God, what a lousy fixture list for today

Everton 15 : 00 West Ham United (goals from where?)
Fulham 15 : 00 Chelsea (goals from where?)
Hull City 15 : 00 Newcastle United (goals from where?)
Stoke City 15 : 00 Arsenal (could be very tight)

If we see more than 4/5 goals I'll be surprised

Manchester United vs Manchester City was supposed to be the early kick off but was postponed because of the Capital One Cup final. Tomorrows games are not much better. A pretty poor week of Premier League action (on paper) overall. No doubt one or two games will be good though.

Alan Pardew has reportedly headbutted David Meyler. I'm not watching the game so I'm only going by what those at the game are tweeting. If true, he's in big big trouble.

Surely this has to be the end of Pardew. There's only so many times he can claim that it's 'out of character' and that 'i apologised straight away'.

They reported on an altercation just before that one on Soccer Saturday about Pardew saying something to Meyler which infuriated him,

Then returned to it minutes later with Jeff Stelling shouting about the book about to be thrown at Pardew,

Obviously some hatred there, he is going to be in big trouble no doubt.

Pardew was interviewed on Sky just now, he apologised but he was speaking like it was a minor incident.

He must be in serious trouble now, I wouldn't be surprised if he walked.

No, he is just going to sit down from now on.

Leaving the touchline duties to John Carver now he says. Carver is just as bad! The two of them seem to instigate more trouble on the touchline than any other duo. Every few weeks there is some sort of incident and every time it's "heat of the moment" with an apology straight after it. About time he had the book thrown at him now to be honest.

1 more goal and a new record will be set in the Prem era. currently on 41 goals for the weekend.

edit I'm told 43 is the record.

mike65

42 goals so 4.2 goals per game average which is crazy.

Corholio

Thought Scholes analysis was excellent tonight, he just says what he thinks, even Neville was laughing a bit at how blunt he was.

Would love to see him do more games. Would be a whole lot better than Carragher and Redknapp's 'magic show' analysis tonight, thought that was hilarious.

What the hell is going on with Konstantinos Mitroglou? 12 million quid and he has played one league game plus one as a sub, not even in the squad today.

This is what happens when you let managers whose position is in major question spend large sums of money. Manchester United, take note.

Newcastle lead Cardiff, who as things stand are going down on goal difference

Cardiff are definitely going down with Sunderland leading at Utd.

upstairs for coffee

John Heitinga gave Felix Magath an absolute rollicking on the way down the tunnel at half time apparently. Fulham relegated as it stands.
