Duncan Fletcher will step down as England coach after their last World Cup match against West Indies on Saturday, the BBC understands. Peter Moores, currently the England Academy coach, will take over on a temporary basis. He will be in charge until the Schofield report, into the Ashes debacle and World Cup failure, is published in early May. Fletcher, 58, has been England coach since 1999. David Morgan, the England and Wales Cricket Board chairman, is set to confirm Fletcher's departure at a news conference scheduled for 1630 BST. Fletcher had come under increasing pressure after England were beaten 5-0 in the Ashes series and then failed to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup. They exited the World Cup after a humiliating nine-wicket loss to South Africa on Tuesday. The ECB would not comment ahead of the Thursday's news conference. Spokesman Andrew Walpole would say only: "We are aware of the issues being discussed and we feel the best way to deal with that is on Thursday and the best person to deal with it is the chairman." Asked whether Fletcher had already resigned, Walpole refused to comment and stressed: "I am not going to answer any questions - you can address all your questions to David Morgan." Fletcher decided against holding his usual post-match news conference after England crashed out of the World Cup. Instead he played a round of golf with England captain Michael Vaughan in Barbados on Wednesday. BBC Sports Editor Mihir Bose said: "The performance at the World Cup has clearly not been good enough and Peter Moores will take over on a temporary basis. "Clearly the preparation ahead of the Ashes went wrong. If you look back at that first wide ball that Stephen Harmison bowled it was clear that the preparation wasn't there. "As for one-day cricket, England have never been very good." England play West Indies in their final Super 8 match in Barbados on Saturday and then face them in a Test series in England, starting 17 May.

The lightening bit was O Brien. shola just tapped it in

There was a good 150 toon fans there too

Started singing "We've got Jonny Jonny Jonny Jonny Godsmark on the wing, on the wing"
-
Sholas goal was a mint run, ran like lightening down the right wing, cut outside his man.............and then O Brien rolled it accross the goal for a Shola tap in from a yard. Two stonking headers from Carroll and a penalty. Godsmark is 17 I think. Quality finish from him.

Was it the same one the divvies try to sell in the club shop?

Says a lot IMO that the Chelsea match hasn't sold out yet and it's been on General Sale for nearly a week, whereas it sold out in hours last year.

We could always take out an injunction

DAMIEN Duff has kicked his last ball of the season after Glenn Roeder confirmed the Irish winger will be ruled out of United's four remaining fixtures because of an ankle injury. The 28-year-old limped out of Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Fratton Park and underwent a scan on Sunday to assess the extent of the damage. Roeder said: "While an X-ray has shown there is no break, Damien has a badly swollen ankle, and our medical people tell us that he will not be able to play again this season. "It's bad luck for Damien coming at a time when he was beginning to show the sort of form we have been looking for from him." Duff will miss this Sunday's game against his former club Chelsea at St.James' Park, as well as the home fixture against former employers Blackburn Rovers on May 5.
