Lenny Mclean, a proper hard man. As you will know, it's all something I'm just fucking about with, something of a distraction from the shite. The character of Big Vern, in my head, would look exactly like Lenny and drive a 53 plate Land Rover Discovery, has a Bingo addict wife called Val and kids named after where they were conceived, a daughter called Margate Pleasureland, a son called Canvey Island.

Surely he'd drive a Jag ?

And how's your missus ?

This long ball/short ball stuff is a load of bollocks. Would a cross from the wing (Fleck to Basham vs Ipswich or Stevens to Clarke vs Wolves) count as long balls then? Do goals only count if it's tippy-tappy walk into the net stuff then? These guys would have you believe that a beautifully crafted 40 yd pass in TC's day, complete with back-spin so the receiver didn't even have to break stride was hoof. Watching England the other week, where a pass was never more than 10 yards was fucking excruciating to watch, I'd rather have my teeth pulled.

I think he is Norwich City fan and he seems to think we are long ball. He not done a report on what a bunch of cynical cunts the current Norwich team are.

He is going in to the twats thread:

"There's no such thing as the long ball or the short ball, only the right ball." Bob Paisley.

.............and CW & AK make sure we play these MOST of the time.

UTB

PS: This is also from Bob Paisley - which also epitomises what CW has given us back.

Bob Paisley on the Kop
"The whole of my life, what they wanted was honesty. They were not concerned with cultured football, but with triers who gave one hundred percent."...............think this sums us Blades up too.

Ha. Either he has some sort of crippling condition that makes him start every article with '# teams that...(some inane shit)...' or that isn't really 'his latest article'.

His stats are out of date, we play an average of 76 passes over 35 yards in a game, 11th in the Championship. The average is 74 and it includes when keepers kick. It’s fairly standard and meaningless on its own. The guy’s an idiot. You cannot infer anything about how we play from those stats.

Who cares if we play long ball - we are more than competent keeping in. Coutts has got more passes than anyone in the league.

So what if we get the ball forward on occasions - footballs at its most exciting when balls are in the box. We are fluid and can mix it up if required

Our style now is to be on the front foot and it’s some of the best football I can remember watching and it’s paying dividends in results as well as performances.

Football under Adkins was possession for possession sake. Under Blackwell it bypassed anyone who could pass. Wilder has got the balance right - we keep the ball to do something with it and if it does long or into the channels it’s not because we can’t keep it, it’s because it’s the best ball at that point in time

If the stats say we play 77 long balls - that’s fine by me.

 

[Dellas Cowboys]

For balance we make it into lots of his other complimentary lists.

But amusingly none of his start of season predicted Championship top 6 finishers are currently in the top 6.

I did think about a Jag, but for some reason the Discovery stuck in my head.

She struggled a bit towards the end of the holiday because the fluid is coming back. Went for blood tests on Thursday and got Chemo next week. Thanks for asking, hope things are well with you?

I wouldn't waste my time on such bollocks.

If he can't be bothered to research how we play, I can't be bothered to reply. Those who matter, know how we play and are starting to take notice.

Muck and nettles stuff today. Lifting it into big Leon and spozzing a couple of knockdowns worked a treat against sophisticated opponents.

I mean, I'd be the first to admit that we hit it long a few times (mostly to exploit the space in behind when they flooded forward) but the football for the second goal in particular was sensational.
