There goes Hoddle with the tired old fallacies. 'He'll often drive you mad as a coach but he's got a bit of magic' etc etc

 

I think he's been more than fair and praising of him tbh.

 

It's still a lazy platitude though. He wouldn't drive me mad as a coach, I'd love that he tries to make things happen. That's what sport is about for me.

It's exactly the type of criticism Hoddle was subjected to himself, so it's fair enough.

Hoddle has said as much himself. He's said he's worth the 1 or 2 misplaced passes for the one that comes off.

Fair enough. I missed that bit.

Ah the glory days. Remember that time when Gouffran tackled their winger? Lush.

 

I bet the club shop sold tons of Gouffran shirts that day, and kids all over the North East were pretending to be him on Monday at school. :aww:

Still one of my 'favourite' Pardew quotes:

 

“We are a working class city and they love that. They love flair, but what they really want to see is that hard work and grind in a day’s work and Gouffran did all that and more today.”
