Nice little article about the Muffin Man.
Had no idea he had a BBC sport column back in 2002/03.
Redmond's decline is symptomatic of our club over the last twelve months. He has ability but needs to be handled right to be effective. Under the current status quo he is ineffective, like so many others.
He should not be a scapegoat. His malaise is one of many symptoms showing how sick we currently are.
Conclusion: At least we will have more games to look forward to next season.
We will not improve by trying the same methods that have previously failed. Relegation is coming.
Get the feeling with Pied, had he not been injured after arriving he would have done a good job.
Against Palace, he may have looked like he was blowing after 20 minutes, but he still looked reasonable.
Thankyou Mauricio for making me realise that our last four seasons before this one truly deserved to be savoured.
Thanks to you it will never be that good again.
