Is he saying the players aren't running on empty, or that he's just not using that as an excuse? Not using it or allowing it to be an excuse was how I interpreted it.

Feels like it gets trotted out for any good young player that breaks through in football. In NUFC's case it's already started with Miley. To be fair it's scientific fact. I think having an older role model, being to learn from their mistakes, getting into the sport sooner all lead to the youngest having the highest chance of success. You also have to fight more. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/2021/03/25/revealed-younger-siblings-likely-have-standout-sporting-career/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gottlob Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 A large object, in this case taking the form of an older child, blocks out the sun causing the minor party to fade and wither. This was common parlance, otherwise known as 'scientific fact', until the late nineties when Richard Williams said 'watch out for Venus's sister'. Everybody scoffed and said 'no fuckin' way!' but then Serena Williams came along and from that point another idea has taken root, which holds that the younger is always the better sibling.

Armchair Pundit Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Some managers just fill you with confidence and passion, regardless of how the media try and whip things up, our Eddie's one of those. Always comes across as calm, collected, but just enough humour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been critical of him lately, but you cannot deny that the guy is a model of class, dignity & humour in the way he conducts himself at all times, especially in the press conferences and today's was no different. Desperately hope he gets us back on track soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinny Green Balls Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 We need to bring a proper manager like Mourinho in who knows how to blame everyone else and fuck off, leaving the club in a worse state after two underwhelming seasons. Pretty unforgivable that this guy has the audacity to display dignity and calm during a crisis. Get rid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
