Dude always cared but was 1) thrust in to a bad spot with McClaren and 2) wasn't mature enough at the time. Really think the red card in the Tottenham match killed his career with Rafa

Anyone have a copy of the programme they'd be willing to send me a photo of? My grandfather's write-up was in it today and I've ordered one, but hoping I could send along the photo to my grandma in the mean time.

My dad's a surgeon and leads the interview process for residents for his hospital. The surgeon's association decided that students applying had to undergo personality trait tests as part of their submissions. As one of the lead interviewers, my dad and colleagues had to undergo them so it would be fair. Majority of these surgeons came back as having sociopathic tendencies who were able to disassociate themselves from what was going on. Worrying signs

Comes across as a lovely guy and also gives off major Andre the Giant from Princess Bride vibes.

I passed through once on the way to Niagara-on-the-Lake for a wedding. Went to a nice coffee shop and got drunk at the university pub. Lovely way to spend the day.

Hamilton's actually a lovely place, besides the large amount of mafia families and biker gangs.

We've come such a long way from Even Pellerud demanding hoofs from the back for the women's team and now this on the men's side. Will say that I thought Zambrano was the real deal to lead this team until the Herdman replacement/coup. Herdman has done an amazing job bringing this team together. We had former CPL players out today which I would have never expected.

Gonna drop you and @toontownmana DM about the next Canada match. Me and a buddy are trying to arrange a trip

Out of curiosity, what more would you like to have seen?

He's played as a left winger and somewhat as the left forward in a three man attack. He basically gets free reign down the left. Adekube (who used to play for my hometown club) normally gets the LB/LWB role, at least from games I've watched

A buddy of mine sent me some photos from his spot with the Voyageurs when the FT whistle blew and I haven't seen this many shirtless men since my one and only Newcastle game Edit: New page Canadian wanker

Herdman caught on camera yelling: "Fucking get in" was a highlight

Cheers pal, appreciate. He did subject the family to supporting this basket case of a club so swings and roundabouts

This may have happened under Ashley too, but nice moment from NUFC yesterday. Tagged them in a tweet about my grandfather (an ex-youth player for them many, many moons ago) passing and someone from the club reached out to ask if we could send a photo and blurb to make it in the next match program. Small thing but meant the world to my dad and grandmother.

Got to watch the game with my brother for the first time in three years, was weird to celebrate the goal with someone other than the dog. Deserved a win but would've taken a point before kick off. Big Joe is a revelation under Howe.

TIL Francis Jeffers was a first team coach for Paul Cook at Ipswich (recently sacked) and it reminded me of how SBR was allegedly desperate to sign him.

This is a deep cut. Didn't he collect captain's armbands as well?

He gets Canada to a world cup and he's got a job for life, basically. I think he'd be loathe to leave as he quite literally gets full control of our player and coaching development right now.

Hahaha I was overly optimistic. Still just insane to actually experience this. I'm used to Canada getting bent over by Central American teams

Canada playing Mexico tonight. -8 C in Edmonton (and snow) with a win guaranteeing us a place at the World Cup for the first time since '86. Going to watch the game with a bunch of ex-86 national team members and it's wild how upbeat they are after years of us being Mexico and the U.S.'s whipping boys

Big Newcastle fan. Interviewed him for work during the Pardew 5th place season and asked him what sort of player he wanted for the national team. "Coloccini. I'd love a Ben Arfa but Colo would sort out my backline"

There was a streaker at a Canada rugby match in Vancouver the other year. The assistant coach came tearing off the bench and absolutely levelled the guy. Was immensely satisfying.

Amazing player but Michael Owen levels of injuries, sadly. I sincerely hope we stay away from the normal "Galactico" signings like Robinho when the City group first took over. Fingers crossed we build strategically...which is a weird thing to say thinking when about this time last year would've taken nearly anyone.

I'm kind of curious as to how Bruce does in job interviews. I assume it's all vague generalities, mentions of working together and the need for at least two Steves.

I've loved Herdman's time with Canada but he's got an incredible gig right now. Most talented Canadian team since '86 and complete control. I don't see him leaving any time soon, especially with some of the bridges he burned to get the men's job.
