In a 2-2 draw against Everton at Widnes rugby league ground in the rain. He was brought off at half time, i presume because the conditions were so heavy underfoot, and they didn't want to risk another injury setback.

Oliver Holt has his say on Fergie's comments on the atmosphere at old trafford in the Mirror,
Moan United
Oliver Holt 09/01/2008
Sir Alex Ferguson complained last week that the atmosphere at Old Trafford was like being at a funeral. Well, when you lose 5,000 of your hard-core fans because you sell out to debt-ridden owners, put your admission prices up, flood the place with corporates, reduce the allocation for away fans, widen the divide between the players and the public, allow your stars to blow £4,000 each on a party, tell your stewards to act like the Stasi and slag off what's left of the loyal supporters, what do you expect?
Newcastle sack big Samhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/newcastle_united/7179847.stm
Although he probably isn't the right manager for them, you can't judge a manager on 8 months in charge, so he is unlucky to be sacked, he should have given to the end of the season. I wouldn't trust that clown Ashley to get things right either, if i was a Geordie, he seems a prize balloon to me.
Well Allardyce got his wish and managed a big club, so he should now know his own limits. The trouble for him is so does everyone else. He will never get the chance to manage a big club again, in fact i think he would struggle to get a job at a middle ranking club ( west ham, Everton or any team pushing for a UEFA cup spot ) after his time on Tyneside.

Another new labour decision that will be seen as scandalous in years to come
http://www.guardian.co.uk/nuclear/article/0,,2238329,00.html
It's not just the dubious safety record of the nuclear industry that makes this a bad and backward looking decision, but the record of governments all around the world having to endlessly subsidise nuclear power that really appalls. It isn't a done deal yet though,
