In all my life

How very bloody true is that... exactly what I was thinking!!

If that is possession football, and if that is what the current coaching system teaches god help us. if that is the end product of the modern day coaching badge, forget it.

I just hope wilder brings back a much more up and at 'em approach.

Stuff this modern day tippy tappy stuff... bores the sh*t out of me.

Iceland played some decent football.

As for upanatem, we've tried it with Quickfix and Mucknnettles. It works for a couple of games, maximum. Then the teams with talent who are just as determined and just as fit, take over and have you chasing shadows.

Only in S2....

It lasted longer than that for Bassett

Unless you count Cardiff City away 14 April 2006.

Winning that didn't achieve anything.

Reading did the job for us.

I hope he wins it. The lad has more talent and character than all the Golden Generations put together.

Andy Murray is a British sporting legend and carried our nation to an olympic gold and silver medal, not to mention our first Davis Cup win since the 1930s. He essentially won the biggest international tennis tournaments twice (on behalf of GB), and still he gets this bs. He responded "anyone but England" to a journalist and Tim Henman taking the piss about Scotland failing to qualify - when he was still a teenager. He has been lambasted by the tabloid rags ever since. The mind boggles.

"Tiger Tim". Quite probably the least appropriate nickname ever given to a sportsman. Unless, of course Montgomery was ever known as "Neat Nick" or Blackwell "Capable Kev"

So, then, did Middlesborough!

Afraid not, Pinchers. Different kettle of fish.

Before we played Cardiff in 2006 we were a Championship team. When the final whistle went we were still a Championship team.

Before we played Leicester in 1990 we were a Championship team. When the final whistle went we were a Premier League team.

Massive difference.

That would still have been the case had we not beaten Leicester. In truth, the victory was unnecessary and achieved nothing.

There was no premier league then

My point was that if we'd needed to beat Cardiff to actually get promoted you can be sure that we would've fucked it up.

Thankfully, it was taken out of our hands.

A rose by any other name smells just as sweet.
