Well done Paul Cook and team. Wonder how Pompey would be doing if he were still down here....
Why did he leave Portsmouth? I'm assuming he applied for the Wigan manager job then walked out after getting it.

the uncertainty over budget etc unsettled him.
He said similar things when he walked out on Accrington. He's very ambitious and doesn't see loyalty as a major thing,in my opinion. I bet he said he'd miss the Portsmouth fans and will always see Portsmouth as a second home,or something like that.
He's proving to be a good manager and maybe he thinks that managers can be sacked at the drop of a hat,so why not sack the clubs that employ me, to further my career.

It was mentioned that Cook started out by winning an FAI cup at Sligo too. He's certainly done himself no harm with that result last night. I'm selfishly hoping that someone a league up or so come in for Will Grigg, he's bound to start ahead of Lafferty for our next international.

I didn't know that Rochdale are bottom of league 1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/league-one/table They're paying a fair price for their cup run.

I'll see your link and raise you this.

Rochdale are essentially a League Two outfit it pains me to say. Before they gained promotion to League One, three years ago, they were on a run of 30-odd years in League Two. Keith Hill, and the staff and volunteers, have done a fantastic job to keep the club, not only surviving, but driving forward. It appears these few halcyon years are coming to an end. Still, they were able to afford to lay a new pitch from the proceeds of this years cup run. Which, I have to remind you, is not over.

It's possible that Rochdale,Oldham and Bury could go down. Even Fleetwood could join them. I'm thinking that if Accy were to get promoted,they'd miss out on those derbies. Not only those, but it looks like Blackburn and Wigan will also be leaving League One. Ironic that when we missed out on promotion two years ago we missed out on playing those potential relegation teams. If we go up we'll miss them again,should they go down.

Hey fellow football fans,i have a bit of a problem. I can't decide which green shirt to buy to pose down the pub with,during the world cup. I'm torn between Germany's 1990 away jersey and Mexico's world cup 1998 offering.
