It was down to Keegan trying to lever Asprilla into an already good team at the expense of Keith Gillespie.

I loved Asprilla, absolutely bonkers player.
Yeah, entertaining to watch, but he upset the balance of that side.
I don’t need to check I know precisely what I wrote. Had I written they bottled a 12 point lead to Fegusons mind game then you would have a point. However what I clearly stated is what is referenced from that season is them throwing a 12 point lead and Keegan’s rant. Selective reading at play here.
He's funny old chap...
The epitome of why the January transfer window signings will not save your current season and is overrated as an event. Aubamerang, Giroud, our own Moura have not got any points the teams wouldn’t have got already
Then why would you even type the words? Just leave them out next time, or Just let us know that "due to Ferguson’s mind game on Keegan" part of the sentence should be ignored.
He posted it a year or so ago, it's kind of stuck around a bit. It's on par with a python sketch.Where the fuck did you find that?
You’re incredible. You literally said this. Amazing.
The Wilson Palacios signing in ‘09 would have something to say about that.
I couldn’t agree more.
Explain your shameless mendacity. You’re denying something that everyone can see you said. Are you mad?
I copied and pasted your words, what the fuck are you smoking?
Fucking international football mate, the longer these players stay away from Poch the worse they get, that's our problem. They need to be with him all the time
I know it's an obvious thing but every team has a dip over a course of a season, under Poch ours is at the beginning of the season. But we always have a sensational winter, maybe our form in the winter is due to our slow starts? Maybe if we started like a stream train we might experience a dip in the winter??
We have had and will continue to have some challenges around playing in unfamiliar surroundings (Wembley and New White Hart lane). At least this season during our start we weren't outplayed, we struggled against teams that sat deep.
It's such a difficult one to assess, but I'm oddly comforted by the fact that there is certainly a pattern, it feels there is control. We play with control, with repeatable patterns of play to demonstrate we know what we are about and well drilled and if something doesn't go right it's easier to spot what went wrong, what we failed to do. I kind of feel this way with a view of us over the past three seasons.
