The willingness to play the kids has only came about because of injuries and possible suspensions, he had the chance to use kids in hte FA Cup and didn't take it. I was pleased with his substitutions against Chelsea but it wasn't all out of choice, I'm sure if it was down to choice then they wouldn't have even been on the bench.
Aye, but the number of times in the last 3 or 4 seasons we've had a bench like a crèche and we've simply not made any subs at all. Particularly when half-fit cloggers like Shola and Butt were trundling around the pitch and yet we'd not give the kids even five minutes to show some impetus.
Shearer complains about not getting the job, but he didn't really do any himself favours sitting in the studio at West Brom telling everyone how piss poor Coloccini was. The man dropped him after one game for David fucking Edgar.
We should ask them whether you need to stop talking shit and if they say yes you should stop doing it, if they say no you should still stop doing it anyway, for the good of everyone else's sanity.
