So Dean has suddenly developed a conscience, why didn't that appear 18 months ago, even after your abject failure of last season you still envoked your contract right and continued blead United dry.
You're a leach and exactly what's wrong with some modern footballers.
 
Let's be thankful for small mercies.
If it hadn't have been for Nige's insistence on playing him to get his mate over his appearance quota and trigger the contract extension, his tenure may have been very different and he might not have got the bullet. We may well have turned in different performances, limped into 7th and Kev may have been tempted to keep Mr Endeavour on.

Do they get some sort of Government Grant for filling their side with Pensioners? I'll dust of the Reusch Gloves and get my boots ready ;)

That's the most disgusting part of it. He knew this back then but took the deal anyway.
 
Well Hammonds Endeavour levels must have dropped off a bit then since his glory year of last season. Maybe his robustness has also leaked a bit as he must have had them in abundance to get as many games as he did under Mr Cliche.

I'm off now for a mental shower as I feel dirty after thinking about those two twirps and then there's a thread about the Higgopotamus. Aaahhhhh

He knew, any fucker who had watched him for more than 5mins knew apart from that half Witt Adkins.

You can imagine the conversation between the two... Hammond stating his legs had gone, but Adkins convincing him as a physio, that if he read books on the art of war and observed some geese, that he could do magic... 1 day with Wilder and 2 days with Russell Slade, they saw things very differently
 
Season ticket holder and I honestly can say I didn't see him run , more just a shuffle.
 



"....but the 33-year-old admitted afterwards that he was too far off the pace to resurrect his career in League One...."

Chuckle...

You'd have to watch him for more than five minutes, it took him fucking twenty to start a "run"

Exactly! Who gave him the green light?

I've no doubt in my mind that Adkins probably knew he was shot, but tried to swing one last pay-day for his mate thinking he could be ok 2 levels down, but what about our medical team and phyios?

To be honest the whole cotton caboodle stinks!

He wasn't so bad that he'd have failed a medical. He was just slow. He'd have probably got away with it if he'd have just sat in front of the defence and had a runner either side.

Slow, he was so slow that he couldn't have caught a cold.

It was a sight to behold watching him get overtaken by a Glacier though, just missing a bit of Attenborough commentary.
 
Some of his tackles were so late they are just coming in now.

And they are still fouls.

Plain to see his legs had gone and he won't get them back to play at L1 level again.

There will be no signings of this type of player by the current regime.
 
The saddest part of the whole debacle for me was listening to some poor saps near us trying to align with Adkins and justify his place in the side. I don't think I'll ever forget the saying "He just keeps the kettle boiling at the back". What the fuck.

Probably all he was fit for, making a brew. I mean with his pace you wouldn't send him for the sarnies would you?

ha ha what the hell! Great saying, must remember to use that more often in future.

"what happened today? Losing 4-1 at Walsall? Were they that good?"

"not really mate, but a few too many of our lads were keeping the kettle boiling at the back"

"eh?"

" you know, 'keeping the kettle boiling at the back', like Hammond used to"

"sorry pal you've lost me there, 'keeping the kettle boiling at the back'?, really?"

"er....yeah....er...have you got your ticket for Peterborough?"
