Did I hear right? About 1.20 in he states he went up to watch Middlesbrough v Bristol.
As we have played our fixtures against these teams this season, which player or players from these two are on his target list? Or do I put the hat on and stand in the corner?

 

[LJBlade]

Maybe he’s just interested in watching football. Or maybe he’s interested in watching Bristol CITY (I’m sure there’s two teams in Bristol) because they’ve completely nullified us twice now this season. I’d not expect anyone on here to know the true reason.

 

[Topplayersleave]

Hes checking out potential play off opponents

 

[RedandWhite]

Wiemann to replace Duffs But probs watching teams for play offs

 

[blade67]

checking out potential play off opponents seems the most likely reason. Especially City, who have beaten us twice despite having a much less successful season than us. shades of Burnley in 2009?

 

[Blade56]

Dave Bassett once observed it's very rare you beat a team three times in one season. That season we trounced Crystal Palace home and away and lost to them in the play off final. Let's hope we get Bristol City if it goes that far.

Good point. It’s rarer still to beat a team four times in one season.

.....or maybe getting an early heads up on the players he’ll be managing next season at Boro? Perhaps he’s getting his ‘Sunderland are after me, and I don’t know where the rumour started’ style contract negotiations in early this year?

It seems like for all the happy clappy nonsense on here about ‘twists & turns’ and ‘we go again’. CW realises that after the shitshow against Bristol (with the coup de grâce being applied today by the footballing powerhouse that is Preston) we’re looking at the play offs. Who’d a thunk it?

As long as we don’t somehow get Walsall...

Dave Bassett wasn't our manager that season; it was Howard Kendall, although Bassett could still have said it, I suppose.

When we played Leeds at home earlier this season Darren Moore was watching us, we played west brom the week after I think

Funnily enough, the same season we got the double over Palace and lost in the PO Final, we actually beat Bradford 4 times: home and away in the league and in the league cup.

Don't.

Yeah I remember thinking this in the play off final v. Burnley. I went down fully expecting a win, I don’t think I’m over it even now. Also never ever listen to Bassett.

Said it as a pundit

 

[Blend-it-like-Harris]

PLAY-OFFS!!! - GERRARTNIT!

 

[neverknowinglywrong]

Thank God it won't be Walsall
