He won't. His usual bullshite. He'll be giving the fans little presents next.

tbh - it'd be quite nice if Lenny gave us a present - errr, like, IN TIME FOR SATURDAY would be nice! :D

But he can't because Duggie spunked what little budget we had left, on a 3 year contract for Trotter :spank:

Forest is an even tougher job than here. Embargoed and selling their best players. Chairman trying to interfere with signings too. Talk about out of the frying pan.....

I think he may have been referring to the spectacular and innovative way that Scotland once again contrived not to qualify for the Euros... summat we were all avoiding being as we are quite fond of our noisy neighbours! 8)

Not much of a test from Estonia who looked pretty poor, but England shaped well enough in the build ups. I'd credit their excellent keeper for the score only being 2-0. Thought Cahill and Smalling were solid in the centre of defence and Milner worked his bollox off in midfield. Barkley has great feet but is a bit dive prone for me. Llalana and Walcott were pretty sharp and the best players were the match commentators. If only we could pick them. They know just what's needed with piercing insights like "You've got to hit the target" etc.

BSA now at Sunderland, I wonder if he envisaged that when he left us he would become the premier league red Adair?

Never been relegated .... & plenty of clubs he once managed were after he left.
