They get treated like Roman Gods in there, man. I phoned up once and was mistaken for Ryan Taylor by the waiter/maître d on the other end. The bloke practically offered a blowjob with my table. Ridiculous.
Well clearly I mean the fact it was second division football, not the country.
And I'd far rather we recruit players from that division than Ligue 1 or the Eredivise.
Considering where he came from?
Unlike most of our shitty squad he came from a country that cultivates excellent footballing ability and a refined attacking approach at good tempo.
This. Even the commentator said it was all just for show. It was utterly embarrassing.
Did one of the commentators not call him out for calling Perez "stupid", for taking a free kick too quickly? Or did I imagine that?
It was Ryan Taylor wasn't it?
Like going down would change anything.
We don't know whether it would or not. We know staying up will mean a couple of singings in the summer, a new manager probably and most likely the end of any protests from the majority of fans until we're back in a relegation fight. And repeat.
If he'd been brought in two months ago we'd be safe. He might have Parkinson's Disease but he's still got more coaching credentials than Carver.
The players would instantly respect him. He played 400 fucking games for the best team in the world and was manager of the year 3 times.
Our first choice CB pairing was Coloccini and Williamson, or Coloccini and MYM.
Either way, not nearly good enough. Anyway, I'm talking about the moment it became abundantly clear beyond any doubt what we were in for.
Problem with that being the fact we've kept 2 clean sheets (from 17) under Carver and in one of those fixtures (Villa) we'd have been 0-2 down early on but for extremely wasteful finishing.
