Neither of whom were anything like as bad as Phil - run it to the halfway line and nice person it diagonally - Brown.

Sadly - he went on to teach the promising Nicky Hunt all he knew - which makes him doubly bad! :whack:

You forgot the classy "hopeful chip down the line and run after but never get". Sometimes David Lee managed to get hold of it though.

Derek Scott did alright, I thought, and I always had Fitpatrick down as being more of a centre back. Did we flog him to Leicester or have I just made that up?

You might be right with the Leicester thing

First time I saw him, in fact the first time I knew he existed, was away at good old Cold Blow Lane

I was just trying to stay alive tbh, but I think he did OK

In fact, he was probably too much of a footballer

Had he been released by Liverpool?

I know when I had the odd beer with him, he was mates with the brothers Came

Never liked Scott...in fact him n Brown where much of a muchness

See, I discount him as he was on loan - but yes, truly terrible even if for just one game.

I remember that cretin John Aldridge having a pop at us for our treatment of him, just because he came over from Liverpool he was supposed to play each game, irrespective of ability!

I could give him the benefit of the doubt and blame it on Steve Howey inside him.

Nah, on second thoughts, he was shit.

BUMP.

Did anyone see MotD last night / this morning?

Old George F'tang-F'tang Ole Biscuit Barrel didn't half get stuck into Brownie - saying that he should've been sacked sooner and that all their problems date back to his on-field half-time bollocking at City last season.

Aye and there are now reports in the papers that Pearson wants Brown back, as he thinks he's made a mistake! Probably a load of nonsense, but Pearson did reference that Brown was "still here on gardening leave" last night!

Surely impossible. He's inferred alsorts about him, most clearly that he overpaid on fees and over-rewarded too may ordinary players & seemed to infer there was something questionable in some instances ... the gardening leave is surely a Megson type deal.

... & Bruce, F'tanf-F'tang Ole Biscuit-Barrel got caught up in the recent expenses scandals I thought ?

It's interesting that two very mis-managed clubs are going to depart the Premier League, and we'll have to see how they play out - bearing in mind Hull are rumoured to be heading into administration. Someone remind me, if they went into administration now would they lose the points this season or next? I seem to remember that being a controversy in recent years.

It'd be next. There's either a date, or a number of games after which it is carried over, I think we are past that now.

I seem to remember, though feel free to correct, that Leeds decided to go bust at the time they'd been mathematically relegated and the points deduction was merely incidental, so they were deducted in both that season and the next season.
I'd have docked them another ten points simply because Ken Bates is a c*nt.
