Whitey Grandad

Then how dod their score just run through our defence as though it didn't exist? He ran unchallenged into our penalty area. And let's not even pretend that McCarthy would have handled it any better.

And we have 1% of the world's population.

Whatever you might think of his position, just take a look at our horrendously porous defence. All ball watching and no marking.

Because these stats are crap?

Like we did in the other games that McCarthy has played recently?

That is just blind prejudice. They're just differently not very good but Bazunu edges it for me.

It's either Bazunu or McCarthy.

This is the Championship, remember?

Foul for a high foot.

Just to frighten the opposition.

Wonderful news! I'm sure he'll make a great manager.

Exactly. I vaguely remember 'fun' some time in the far distant past and that season wasn't it.

Earlier this morning one of my granddaughtes gave birth to a baby girl, my first great-grandchild. I feel very proud and very old and very sad that my dear wife is not here to see her. I suppose I should change my username to Whitey Great-Grandad now.

They're not 'good' chances though.

All of them.

Can he play CB?

Usually for the next three first team games. From what I have seen an appeal would be futile.

Flying in with an elbow to the head. Not a chance.

Agreed.

No chance is ever 90%. Back in the day it used to be considered that only one in six chances as ever converted. And that was in the top flight.

Players bumping into each other is something that you hardly ever see. Even at your local park on a Sunday morning.

And both ways of saying it are wrong.

We needed someone with experience of the English game. Not someone who's learning on the job. At the current rate of progress it's going to take at least two seasons before he has a clue about what he's doing.

And less of a prick.

Different styles but nothing much between them.
