    Massimo Cellino, Tommy Wright and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink three more high profile individuals named by The Telegraph.

    Tommy Wright 'high profile'? Do me a favour mate.

    And Jimmy Floyd? Didn't the Telegraph say '8 current and former and premier league managers'? Since when has Jimmy managed in the premier league?

    Come on Telegraph stop cock teasing and give us the big names.

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/09/27/exclusive-eight-premier-league-managers-took-transfer-bungs-clai/

    These three names are just fluff. They're going to string this out for a good week to get more papers sold.

    Can't really blame them I suppose although it's a bit rich given the whole spine of their story is greed and people who are desperate to blag a bit of extra money.

    What I'm curious about is that Sam made the point that we would need to run it past 'the powers that be'. Now why would he think for one second that the FA would agree it?

    I mean the FA isn't so corrupt that it would want a slice of the pie? Surely not.

    This was brought to you by the game that gave you The Adventures Of Sepp Blatter.

    Good three points for Arsenal they were average today, I think the ref should have blown for full time sooner looking at the clock ;)

    At home it's early days and a long season ahead, some United fans think we have lost the league already which is nonsensical.

    What a joke the Arsenal goal was.

    What's the point of using goal line technology to determine if a ball has crossed the line or video evidence to punish players when double injustices like this offside handball are allowed to stand and cannot be changed retrospectively?

    If Burnley go down by a point surely they have case against the FA/PGOMB for incompetence?

    Good bounce back win at Wolves Saturday evening. Best way to put the things right to get another win next game.

    2-1 at Molineux which is impressive as we do have an awful record at their place.

    Is anyone thinking the Telegraph are full of shit?

    They did for Big Sam fair enough but where are these '8 current and former premier league managers' they had dirt on?

    All we've had is a nothing story about Harry, non PL manager Jimmy Floyd and a couple of assistant managers.

    Is that it?

    Didn't that former agent say he'd been lying a few days ago? I think the Telegraph were using him as a source.

    So that's all they had? The word of an agent who had already been banned? I can see why they didn't name anyone then as this as piss weak as American beer. Wouldn't you at least get some corroborating evidence before you started gobbing off?

    I suppose it sold some papers but is lying to sell papers any more or less moral than taking a backhander? Bit of a cheek for them to claim they are some sort of moral crusaders.

    It wasn't offside. Handball definitely, but not offside.

    Looks like this is going to be a 'movie catch-up' weekend as no Prem footie...I will watch England obviously (although I don't know why I bother) but Peterborough v Bury doesn't really float my boat if im honest.

    Liverpool v Man United goaless drab draw I'll take the point, before the game I was not overly confident. United away to Chelsea next, we need a win or risk falling away.
