When I took my driving test at 17 my instructor was a right old bastard, he was basically angry with me for taking my test before he had managed to squeezed a bundle of extra lessons out of me. Right before my test, I was obviously in a nervous state, so he decides it's a good to time tell me and my dad that I didn't stand a chance. I however ended up driving the perfect test and passed, the drive home with my instructor was glorious, his face was a picture :) That guy is probably dead now, he was old then and that was 30 years ago, Crumpy could well be his son, carrying on the family business, I'm sure with the same happy demeanor, I wonder how many folks have clicked on his link and signed up with him based on his persona here :)

 

I did, he was fantastic. It also changed my life.

 

I’d recommend him to anyone looking to learn to drive, if he can get me on the roads he’ll get anyone.

Not to defend Beardsley (because it sounds like he's not the best coach in the world) but results alone at reserve level don't mean all that much. We've lost heavily in a couple of games where the opposition picked strong overage players, or where we've played weird formations or players out of position as part of their development.

He's helped me out with tickets before and I used to go on his bus from North Shields to away games. Sound fella. :thup:

It's pretty unbelievable that Rafa hasn't insisted on a major shakeup at all the various levels at NUFC. We seem to be terrible at every level, results wise at least, and nobody seems to be coming through into the first team. I don't think Rafa has ever really promoted young inexperienced players at any club, but I'm sure he would occasionally like the option of doing so. How Beardsley still has a job is beyond comprehension.
