((HT: NBCSN/Sky Sports))
The HQ saw that Crystal Palace would be the first to sack a manager in the Premier League season- Neil Warnock on Saturday after a 3-1 loss to Southampton as they fight in relegation.
Now, West Brom (struggling themselves at the bottom of the table) has sacked Alan Irvine who was regarded as a strange choice to take over in the first place after last season's misfortunes. The West Brom side have lost three in a row and are currently 16th in the table, but they're only one point above the drop zone.
The odd part of all this was that former Spurs manager Tim Sherwood was in line to take over for Warnock at Palace, but now he is lined up to take over for Irvine- according to the London Telegraph.
Got all that...???
But it gets better...
Alan Pardew may be jetting from Newcastle to go back to the place where he was a player in the 1980's and '90s- Crystal Palace.
Rebecca and the Robbies discuss
There will be a quiz later on...

OSG Prem: And We Have Our First Sacking
((HT: BPL/NBCSN))
At least Crystal Palace waited until after the holiday to do it...
It took this loss to Southampton to send Neil Warnock on his way- after only four months on the job...
Warnock was manager from 2007 and 2010 and was seen as a hopeful replacement for Tony Pulis- who left the squad two days before the regular season after a dispute with the ownership over player control. Pulis, strangely, and former Spurs manager Tim Sherwood are seen as replacements for the replacement now that Palace are back in the relegation zone.
From the Palace website:
Crystal Palace Football Club can today confirm that Neil Warnock has been relieved of his duties and is no longer first-team manager.
The club would like to put on record its thanks to Neil for all his hard work and energy over the past four months.
Keith Millen will lead the team against Queens Park Rangers tomorrow as caretaker manager.
This was the longest time a Premier League season had gone without a sacking since the 95-96 season.

OSG Prem: Was Vincent Tan Right The Whole Time...???
((HT: Sky Sports))
The prevailing thought was the Malky Mackay was the frontrunner for the vacant Crystal Palace manager's position. But in a quick turn of events, Mackay's offer was pulled from the table and his buddy, Iain Moody, CPFC's Sporting Director resigned in a hurry from his post.
Seems Tan sent a series of documents to the Football Association for review that show Mackay's alleged lack of tact, abusive, homophobic, bigoted language in e-mails, and lack of respect for the game- three things the FA doesn't take too kindly to... 70,000 e-mails and 100,000 texts worth while Mackay and Moody worked at Cardiff City.
The Daily Mail has the full story hyah...
Here's the update from Sky Sports
A statement from Palace about Moody read: "In light of the events of yesterday, sporting director Iain Moody has tendered his resignation and it has been accepted with immediate effect. There will be no further comment from the club on this matter."
Remember, Mackay launched a £7.5m legal claim against Tan for compensation and wrongful dismissal after he was sacked. But he dropped the claim in May and issued an apology to Tan.
Why, the HQ is unsure...
Former Tottenham manager Tim Sherwood is now the favorite to take over.
But, at the same time, Mackay is ready to defend himself in the matter...

OSG Prem: The Title Is Man City's
For the second time in the last three seasons, the Premier League title is in the hands of Manchester City...
In a day with few surprises late moving through the motions early, the ladder stays the same...
Man City takes care of West Ham with few issues, 2-0
Here's their celebration
Elsewhere, it took a while but Liverpool came back from a 1-0 deficit to beat Newcastle 2-1- who were down to nine men before the game was over. Manager Alan Pardue will, surely, have to answer to his team's lack of discipline
The rest of the table:
Chelsea had to fight back from being 1 down at Cardiff City, thanks to an own goal by Azpilicueta, but finish third with a 2-1 win.
Crystal Palace and Fulham tied at 2
Everton shut out Hull City 2-0
Swansea showed some offense for a change- beating Sunderland 3-1
Arsenal relegates Norwich 2-0
Stoke scored the last goal in their game to beat West Brom 2-1
And the Europa League spots to go Everton and Spurs...
Tim Sherwood's managerial swan song was a good one (which is a shame in itself) as Spurs went out hot early and beat Aston Villa 3-0 while Manchester United tied Southampton at ones and will miss European football contest for the first time in a quarter-century.
And now the Silly Season starts...

OSG Prem: Reds At The Top Of The Table, Fulham Still Bottom
((HT: Sportsnet))
The lead at the top of the table is now Liverpool's to keep... even as Manchester City has two games in hand on the bunch...
The Reds have now gone their last 13 without a defeat- including 8 wins and a dismantling of Spurs at Anfield this afternoon. Makes the HQ wonder just how much patience the front office will have with caretaker manager Tim Sherwood after another throttling by a top five club...
Here's the wrap...
Elsewhere, the matinee on Sunday was Everton trying to put another nail in Fulham's relegation quest with a win at Craven Cottage. Believe it or not, the reserves were the ones coming through over and over again as Roberto Martinez's squad solidified their top-5 place... ((HT: ProSoccerTalk))

OSG Prem: Tim Sherwood Still Doesn't Like Jorge Jesus
((HT: Press Association))
Spurs caretaker manager Tim Sherwood still has no respect for Benfica manager Jorge Jesus and his histrionics in the Benfica 3-1 opening round match at White Hart Lane...
For those who don't remember...
Round 2 is a few days out and Sherwood was still on fire about it:
"I know exactly where he was coming from and I know what I saw.
"I have got no respect for the man. I've got respect for the football club and I've got respect for his players.
"The club is a huge club and we've had a lot of emails from Benfica fans apologising for their manager's behaviour. At the end of the day, I will shake his hand, because they are a giant of a club."
Tottenham has plenty of injuiries and worries for Sherwood, but Jesus thinks everything in the first leg is done and done...
Here's Jesus...
((How's that for a toss...???))

OSG Prem: Tim Sherwood Is Pee-Yissed...
((HT: BPL/Vine via David Guti))
Tomas Rosicky scored in the second minute in the North London Derby between Arsenal and Spurs this afternoon...
A defensive meltdown almost led to a second goal, but Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain decided to pass (poorly, the HQ may add) to Lucas Podolski that led to a turnover...
Spurs caretaker manager Tim Sherwood went understandably ape over the gaps in defense...
Maybe he should keep being fiery...
Makes for good storylines...

Spurs Boss Not A Fan Of Benfica Boss
((HT: SkySports))
Benfica was better than Spurs in the first leg of their Europa League Round-of-16 match-up at White Hart Lane...
Not in dispute...
But what is up in conversation are the antics of Benfica manager Jorge Jesus during the match itself...
Like this exchange after the third Benfica goal...
Current Spurs caretaker manager Tim Sherwood was not happy post-match as he told Sky:
"I thought his team were very good and showed a lot of class - it's just a shame he didn't," Sherwood said.
"In the first two minutes, he was coming over to the fourth official saying I was stepping in his box.
"He doesn't mind himself, does he, to be fair? Waving goodbye like that [with three fingers]? It lacks class. Why would anyone do that?
"He's got a good side, of course he has, but, nah, not for me thank you. I have no intention of speaking to him."
Jesus, when asked said he was referring to his goal scorer Luisao- even if his player wears the number 4...
Sherwood may still have his locker room, if you believe what Sandro said this week, but he may only have it for another nine Premier League games or so...

OSG Prem: Spurs Lack Character In Loss To Chelsea...
And other stuff...
Fulham lost to Cardiff behind Steven Caulker's efforts in a six-pointer at Craven Cottage
Manchester United took care of a West Brom side that lacks offense
Jay Rodriguez made the one Southampton goal stick in their win over Crystal Palace
Norwich couldn't take advantage of 10-man Stoke and drew 1-1
But the biggest news came from the top of the table...
Chelsea needed Samuel Eto'o to start from the beginning since Fernando Torres injured himself in warm-ups...
And all Eto'o did was this...

A 4-0 whitewashing that caretaker manager Tim Sherwood was less than pleased with...
It was all part of an interesting Saturday...
