The beeb put up a table showing Carrick's overall position since he took over last season. I was a little surprised to see Man Utd so high, after their poor start. It shows they were happy to be taken in by his overachievement, last season, using as a reason not to overhaul things. Classy farewell message too. He can leave with his head high.

How dare those pesky supporters call him out for it. 🙂 It's another reason he wanted Russ. Each would have known the other had failed upwards, and they could protect each other inside the club.

Absolutely the highlight of Talksport. Or anything else really. How many people could you just listen to talk about anything, knowing it's going to be not only interesting and knowledgeable, but also open and happy to get others involved.

I didn't read your post, in tribute to your view, which I didn't read, of there being no internet. 🙂

"I see myself as a manager" Wilcox's preferred style is going to be steamrollered by Poch. He may have a period early on, with the team struggling, as Poch's ideas settle in. It will be a time where he would be wise to not interfere with the tactics. Having said that, it could be a long season regardless. They do look as though most sides have overtaken them. Again, Wilcox should be looking closer to home, before meddling.

Handy he's getting some Championship football, as that's where City could be. 🙂

I heard he'd taken over at FC Basil.

Summing up their ability to determine quality right there. 🙂 I was sorry to read that Danny Kelly had died. He brought a different level of energy for football and music to his programmes. I'd listen to Trans Europe Express every now and again, and he was a big part of why.

I thought he'd get more thyme.

I remember Poch saying he'd need 6 weeks to implement his system. That was with a group who could be worked with. The disjointed, mentally brittle players there may take longer. I like Poch, but the entertainment value is watching them still struggle. Paying ludicrous amounts for the likes of Anthony, and selling McTominay to get home grown money. Silly club. Seemingly leaks about what Wilcox's recommendations were. Poor form.

All part of Wilcox's plan to bring in Russ. Poch is just him ticking off the ex-Saints manager box. 🙂

Lots of disappointed posters saying to themselves "If only I'd posted an image of seeming sentence disparity, Farmer would have made me that offer. 😃

Didn't you recognise young Elon, when he came for the milk money? Perhaps you dismissed him when he said "I'm going to take this milk money, and use it to create an empire far beyond these humble carts that I definitely invented. Also, can I interest you in getting yoghurt along with your 2 pints a day?" How many stars does it link? None.
