January 3, 201412 yr exactly the mad postmans latest obsession He's just a fucking dick. In fact, he's that mental, he'd be the maddest on here if he was a regular.
January 3, 201412 yr He's just a fucking dick. In fact, he's that mental, he'd be the maddest on here if he was a regular. He's sane compared to his mate the agent. He's madder than Jack McMad when he's feeling madder than a mad postman Do they both still twitter, I don't really go on it these days Edited January 3, 201412 yr by no balls
January 3, 201412 yr He's just a fucking dick. In fact, he's that mental, he'd be the maddest on here if he was a regular. And up against some strong competition at that.
January 3, 201412 yr Author Who's the postman? Genuine question btw, was looking up books last night and came across it.
January 3, 201412 yr Les Pilling, Warthog? No idea if he's an actual postman, did work in IT once. No idea why he bothers writing grandiose articles (or why folk read them/give them any credibility).
January 3, 201412 yr Author Again I may be missing something here but is Les Pilling and Les Padfield the same person. This fella was a scout for us for a while from what I can see? Edit. Thanks Danny I assume everyone means that McCormick fella. Edited January 3, 201412 yr by tomski
January 3, 201412 yr Ive read it very entertaining indeed , very funny in places with good insight into the megson era the book is called 'Scouting For Moyes' but it is really scouting for megson (must have selected the Moyes title for sales reasons because he hardly features in the book) Bsically its the ups & downs of being a scout with stories of futile trips to watch the wrong player playing for the wrong team at the wrong time. Padfield really was not impressed with Zat Knight & told Megson that for a bloke 6ft 7inches tall he was unimpressed that he never won any headers in the opponents penelty area especially from corners. He also advised against Danny Shittu & was amazed we paid nearly £2 million for him. Its a pretty good read if your a whites fan with a few veiled comments about the rot setting in after Allardyce.
January 3, 201412 yr Doesn't take a scout to highlight Knight doesn't present the goal threat he should.
January 3, 201412 yr Doesn't take a scout to highlight Knight doesn't present the goal threat he should.I'd say Wednesday proves he's a great goal threat
January 3, 201412 yr Doesn't take a scout to highlight Knight doesn't present the goal threat he should. Indeed, I am still utterly amazed at how poor his goalscoring record is for us. A lump of his size you would surely excpect to be getting 3 or 4 headed goals a season. Still, at least his lack of goalscoring is more than made up for by his imperial command of the defensive line.
January 3, 201412 yr No it does'nt but you can still ignore advise that you are paying for & waste £4.5 million on a muppet
January 3, 201412 yr How many own goals has knight scored whilst with us? I bet it's a fair few If you add the absolute cock ups / gifts on top he is boarder line prolific
January 3, 201412 yr No it does'nt but you can still ignore advise that you are paying for & waste £4.5 million on a muppet A muppet who had played for years in the top division and pulled on the England shirt? Not defending him but Zat Knight must have (of have had) something.
January 3, 201412 yr A muppet who had played for years in the top division and pulled on the England shirt? Not defending him but Zat Knight must have (of have had) something. That's pretty much where I'm at. He's changed hands for decent money and has rafts of Premier League games under his belt. That same premier league where every move is scrutinised to the max.
January 3, 201412 yr http://mannyroad.com/bolton-wanderers-and-how-they-wasted-40-million/ who was it who said Megson bought players that had resale value?
January 3, 201412 yr who was it who said Megson bought players that had resale value? me, amongst others seriously, compare what he left to what he inherited he left players who have played loads of premier league games he can't be held responsible for our failure to cash in on them at the right time and maybe coyle can't either (just for balance) if davies/gartside is saying we don't need to just a few questions maybe all our managers (inc Megson) have been unable to sell our better players cos we pay them too well? do we have to pay over the odds wages to attract players - shouldn't be the case as wigan seem to manage it, but its not something we've been great at
