After Palace- QPR on Saturday with the Hart-Warnock situation, I was wondering why managers are allowed to manage three different teams Hart with Portsmouth, QPR & Palace in one season but players are only allowed to play for two maximum? (Unless its Uefa's, Liverpool; See Mascherano)
Also, surely managers should be cup-tied if players can be?

How many people slug it out on a bog up and down the country every saturday and sunday and have to pay £3 for the pleasure. These pro's get paid £40,000 a week and complain that the grass cut up. Oh boo woo, most people only dream of playing on a surface as good as Wembley.
Also, made me laugh after the League Cup final, James Milner was moaning about the Wembley pitch on the Sunday, yet gegging for a place in the England team on the Wednesday on the same pitch, stop moaning rich kids.
The players just have to deal with the pitch. And they do. But when a game has been clearly affected by the state of the pitch, as it was with both the semis, then obviously the pitch is going to become a talking point.
165,000 people watched the two games at the weekend, the vast majority of them paying ridiculous amounts of money to see the games. They should be getting to see the best matches that the teams can provide, but instead they have to watch both sides doing the best they can while trying desperately not to fall over.
The pitch is an embarrassment and it's obviously going to be a long-term problem. Players, pundits and supporters are going to be talking about the Wembley pitch for a long time.

Has Grant said anything about it? Funny its always the losing manager, or Fergie regardless of result, that complains about the pitch.
Also, yesterday enforced my view that Avram Grant is one vastly underrated manager. Took Chelsea further in the CL than Mourinho, and now got Portsmouth, who have had one of the worst seasons in living memory, into the FA Cup final.

I've just spent close to a ton booking my transport to and from Saturday's game (I have a season ticket anyway, so that's sorted).
Whatever happens, I've never seen a season like this – and we're already way over the points we've accrued in any previous Premier League term (that was 55, IIRC.
I'm so nervous already, I can scarcely believe it.
