I was just going to say fair enough to this then you started your young, local,
white shite. 'Cos Olivier Dacourt matches that description doesn't he ?

Richard Walker................I've been reading your analyses on here for 40
years, so I like to think I've got the measure of your methods.You are
unquestionably right in your judgements of players 99% of the
time............or I should say right-ish. The problem is, everything is
completely black-or-white. You make the point yourself..............midfielders
are either as good as Batty, or they're "shite". You don't seem to notice that
we are now playing in the Second Division. The magnificent and peerless David
Batty was playing for teams at the top of Division One, and for England in the
World Cup. If a clone of David Batty appeared now, is there any chance he would
play for us at the moment? Second Division midfielders are really good
footballers, but they tend to have flaws, such as inconsistency,
one-footedness, a lack of composure at times, or whatever.
You claim to give players 4-5 games before judging them............I'm not sure
that's true. If they are young, white and local, you'll give 'em that. If they
are foreign (or worst of all have a slightly exotic name) you'll give them 1-2
games before deliberately mis-spelling their name, calling them a Kraut or
suchlike, and telling us that they are "shite."
Rick Duniec............your analysis of the Cantona Debacle is superb. I have
been agonising over it for all these years, but I never thought of it like that
before. Thank you. "Stories of magic are a right bastard when it’s your
porridge that somebody else is eating - with obvious relish." That is brilliant!

Lasogga - 1. He's not nearly quick enough or fit enough to play in a team
chasing the game. Yes I believe he knows where the goal is and given Chapman
like service he will score a shed load in this division but at the moment we
don't have the luxury
(Above) Exactly what I was thinking and saying, but hadn’t put nearly so well
----------
1) The decision to remove Green and bring in Wieldwald goes down as one of the
worst pieces of football management ever witnessed. Up there with selling
Cantona.
Selling Cantona may have been a good footballing decision (a) for us (b) at the
time -Wilko’s philosophy and all that, which had after all won us the title.
Selling him to Man U, though, was a monumental disaster from our point of view.
We fixed their engine and gave them the state of the art satnav that their
machine needed to find its way. If we had sold him abroad all of that would
never have happened. At the same time we would probably have deprived football
of one of its magical stories.
Cantona would never have done for Leeds what he did for them unless we changed
100%
from where we were at the time to suit Eric alone. We were never going to do
that so it would have been a dog in the manger move. Let’s face it – every
single one of us knew that from the first moment that you heard of his transfer
to Old Trafford. Stories of magic are a right bastard when it’s your porridge
that somebody else is eating - with obvious relish.
Green was a pillock for demanding a guaranteed first team place. Maybe he has
been hurt in the past but in football you have to believe that you are good
enough to win your place week in week out and not by means of simply a
contract. With a guaranteed place Green might also have turned into a disaster.
when things are this bad everything else looks like a better alternative.
Forgive me. Not in a good place right now but I’m sure things are still better
than they were a few years ago. We have something like a football club again –
even when that club is getting it wrong at the moment.
