Daily mirror reckon Monk is set to be axed by Swansea, can't see that happening myself but you never know. Although they have been in poor form of late.

Shouldn't be short of job offers.

[chaddyrovers]

Monk being sack wouldnt surprise me tbh.

1 win in 8 games.

They were rumours of him being sack a couple of weeks ago.

[JHRover]

Swansea have a nack for making ruthless managerial decisions sometimes when not expected. When they got rid of Laudrup the timing was a surprise as was giving the job to Monk, yet it paid off.

[K-Hod]

Murphy too.

Makes up somewhat for how much money he gained whilst here....

Ex Premier Leaue players lost 100 m in tax avoidance investment scheme, Craig Short one of them

Film investment is done in that manner anyway, a film is usually either a (tax deductable) heavy loss, or a big earner if the film does well.

Have to say I don't really feel very sorry for them.

[G Somerset Rover]

Bloody hell, Shorty's had a rough couple of weeks!

More importantly Benni. Footballers and beef burgers don't mix. dg

While talking about Karren Brady, ex West Ham striker Benni McCarthy has said that 'women and football don't mix'. #whufc

Ouch.

This is an incredible story really. If nothing else it highlights just how much money these footballers get today. A half decent PL midfielder has accrued enough to start a venture which can potentially have him rubbing shoulders with some big petrochemical companies. When you consider the drive and determination Flamini must have had to reach this point it makes you wonder just what the likes of Leon Best has done with his earnings (and I use that word reluctantly).

Leon Best has a line of trainers I believe, hardly worth mentioning I know

Every credit to Flamini to be honest. Much better than handing it over to dodgy tax-avoidance schemes.

Josh king with his first for Bournemouth at Swansea.

[DE.]

Have to assume Monk will get the axe if Swansea lose today. Could take a potential candidate away from QPR/Fulham.

10 in a row for Vardy

[RevidgeBlue]

Good for Vardy. RVN's record equalled with ten in ten.

Don't suppose Woy will pick him though.

Some set of strikers England have knocking on the door now.

[RevidgeBlue]

Garde not making Sherwood look any worse at all.

Villa 3-0 down.

Swansea back to 2-2 with Bournemouth from 2 down.

Think this might finally be the season that Villa reap what their owner has sown over the past few years.

Monk needs a win imo. Don't think a draw at home to Bournemouth will be considered good enough.

[adopted scouser]

Liverpool look awesome

[DE.]

You can see Klopp's influence, some really incisive passing from Liverpool. City have been awful.

[Amo]

This is going to be the worst ever United side who win the league.

Well, since the last time they won it anyway...

[Ewooduknow]

Liverpool only 38% possession. Must be deadly on the counter.

Yes. Absolutely lethal! The triumvate of Firminho, Couinho and Lallana looked fantastic. To be honest their style looked very similar to how they played under Rodgers a couple of seasons ago with Suarez, Sturridge and Stirling.
