Stuck a few quid on Chelsea, Man City, Blackburn, Derby and Ipswich. Was going to put Boro on, but decided against it at the last minute due to having lost a few bets on teams against Leeds recently. Quite glad I did now.
Having two players like Sessegnon and McManaman on the bench is always going to be helpful. If it all goes tits up they can come on and quickly change the game.
Speaking of McManaman, my dislike for him has faded in recent weeks. Might just be that he plays for a team I like, but having served him at work he and his family (Trying not to sound like Martinez saying "he's not that type of player" here!) seems like a decent enough bunch.
Virtually rules out all of the proposed British names, does it not? As a nation we still struggle with the concept of a manager having no say whatsoever on the players he has to work with.
McClaren is head coach at Derby. Not sure how much say he has in transfers though.
Didn't he just say Carver should get the job. You agree with that
He didn't really say he should get the job though, just that he deserves this chance he is getting, which is fair enough.
