    The paper, external says that the only thing delaying his inevitable sacking is that the man who will make the call, Swans chairman Huw Jenkins, is due to be in London on Tuesday collecting his OBE.

    Here's an odd one... David Hasselhoff appears to have declared himself a Partick Thistle fan. The former Knight Rider and Baywatch actor is currently in pantomime in Glasgow, which perhaps explains why he is trying to curry favour with the locals.

    But it got us thinking, which famous person would you like to support your club and why?

    Manuel Pellegrini insists Manchester City are not over reliant on captain Vincent Kompany.

    The skipper has missed the last five games with a calf injury.

    In the 10 games Kompany has started this season, City have kept seven clean sheets and only lost once - but they have failed to shut out the opposition in 13 matches without the Belgian.

    "I don't agree with your conclusions," Pellegrini told reporters. "Last season, we finished the last six games without Vincent Kompany, we won the six and had four clean sheets."

    Kompany will again be missing for tonight's final Champions League group game against Borussia Monchengladbach.

    Only Jamie Vardy, the Premier League's top scorer with 14, has scored more league goals than the £28m Romelu Lukaku.

    He is on course to become the first Everton striker to net more than 20 league goals since Gary Lineker in 1985-86

    The Belgian has consistently been a threat, missing only 39 minutes of action this campaign, and was a menace against Palace before levelling with his 50th goal in a century of Everton appearances.

    Martinez describe his striker as sensational, adding: "It was a big moment. One hundred games is a landmark and 50 goals is a remarkable return. He is in a very good moment of his career. He is vital in everything we are trying to do."

    Time to turn our attention to Monday night's Premier League action, where Everton and Crystal Palace fought out a 1-1 draw at Goodison Park.

    It was an odd game, fairly pedestrian for an hour before bursting into life.

    Romelu Lukaku struck late, scoring his sixth goal in five league games, to cancel out Scott Dann's header.

    The result leaves the table looking very much like this.
