Reply | Neil Warnock on Sky as a pundit for Leeds/ Sunderland
at 11:58 18 Feb 2025
Similar to me Brian.
Early in his tenure, my son asked me why I wasn't joining in with Neil Warnock's blue & white army. I said I wasn't a fan of the bloke - and said I'd sing it if we got promotion...so at Vicarage Road, a year and a bit later, I kept my promise.
Still waiting for my email (glossary entry #827 I believe). |

The name shout thing irritates me a bit, but other than that, I'd say Drury is the one modern commentator who does still have some nuance, a wide vocabulary, and the ability to do more than spout cliches and state the bleedin' obvious.
Not quite Barry Davies levels, but I prefer him to the rest. [Post edited 17 Feb 17:29]

Jan 31 2024 offish announced he'd "extended his contract" (no further details natch) and was off to Wigan for remainder of season.
O's loan announced June 29.
That's all I can find... |

Rob Holding on the Blades bench today.
Ok, I know he hasn’t played a game since the Jurassic era, unlike red hot / injury free Dunne,
But still suspect Jimmy has dodged a Bladed bullet. |

Think I saw Marti say we got 56 points last season, and first evidence of progress is to top that. |

Two highlights there for me:
1. Frey caught perfectly mid-gob.
2. Much-needed photographic evidence that Smyth does NOT possess a long throw. |

Nice to hear one rendition of "Dunne Dunne Dunne Dunne", his original (in both senses of the word) song...disappointed it's mostly been replaced by the "same as Sam Field" chant |

With you on the principle...but it's not as simple as "sign an extension or be sold." What if there's no buyer? Or only derisory offers? Do we then just continue to pay them their (*salary figure redacted to retain competitive advantage*) while letting them (LFW Glossary klaxon) "rot in the reserves"?
It would appear this where we ended up with Paal after the summer window, we've elected to keep picking him. |

I certainly thought that when I saw the line up. We must have had half a dozen centre back pairings this season - but given that our good run started when Cook & Morrison teamed up, my thinking was: JCS injured, Jimmy back to RB, Fox to the bench, also Edwards as he's not ours...and reunite that proven pairing.
But then he plays like that!
Tough call for Marti tbf. |

Wasn't at the game, but plenty of positive comments about Edwards at RB (incl an MOTM shout) on the match thread... |

Google Translate has that final sentence as:
"Flu kept 40% of the player's rights."
...is that either a whopper of a sell-on clause...or a Faurlin (Mascherano / Tevez) dodgy dual ownership scenario!? |

Still think long term Jimmy is not Marti's ideal RB (and others are ahead of him in the CB line if all fit). He clearly (a) has huge respect for him as he has frequently lavished praise on him; and (b) sees him as the lynchpin when we have to 'go pragmatic'. But as we reach the sunlit uplands of midtable and a 2 mill bid comes in for a player who's OOC at the end of the season - well, what are we gonna do?
In the summer, Sinclair's one year option was triggered with a one sentence announcement from the club and nothing from the man himself. This screamed, he wants out, we want to make sure we get some cash.
By contrast, the announcement announcing Jimmy's similar extension was a two-way love-in. However, as it was just triggering the option rather than extending the deal, it seemed pretty clear there were honest discussions going on between both parties as to whether they wanted to do that...with Marti's longer term plans for style of play should he ever manage to reach the 'post-pragmatism' era central to that, I suspect.
But like everyone else on here, I'm guessing tbh. |

Fair play tho to the journo for this line, and also to the no doubt smirking sub-editor who waved it through...

Vale from a Chelsea fan I know who follows them much deeper than the first team:
"Can play anywhere on left or in middle of midfield. Scores a few goals too. Got on fringe of team then loan to Hull (didn’t work, injury I think), then Bristol Rovers playing all the time. Couple of Conference League apps this season.
He can play LB but I think he’s better further forward myself. We don’t seem to have proper plans for academy developed players beyond their teens." |
