Press conference today?

To be fair re Coutts, I sit somewhere in between those positions. I think he has some good qualities and can be useful at times. He's a more intelligent and skilful player than most of our squad. But his shortcomings make him more liability than asset for me.

Actually, so do I. But he's miles away from where we need to be, and the typical Clough signing that left Adkins hamstrung.

Adkins is written off after a successful career and one bad 'season. And bang average plodders like Coutts are excused and offered even more chance, based on a non descript career and some neat and tidy football. And there's some previously logical posters still toeing this line.

This is starting to get as tedious as some of the other discussions I've had with you so I'll just leave it with this.

Morale of the story is you were perfectly content to argue the point (even getting cocky with it 4th quote down), until you suddenly decided (9th quote) that you suddenly didn't want to discuss that point any more and started bringing up loads of totally different points.

One might conclude that this is because you realised your argument wasn't particularly strong after the 8th quote, to which you then proceeded to panic and throw about 10 different points into it out of absolutely no where so you could pretend that's what we were discussing instead.

Argue and backtrack all you want, that's what happened.

OK Len.... Erm... I mean Barney..., let's pretend that's what happened. It's there for everyone to see but if it makes you feel good to play pretend then go for it.
