absolutely spot on, I owe you a beerWhat is not professional about wearing the club sporting attire? What about assistants and the other coaches then? Should Tony Parkes have to wear a club suit aswell? It's just bollocks mate I'm sorry.
There is more than one way to skin a cat and there is more than one way to be a football manager (and as Tim said, more than one way to win football matches).
As soon as a bloke stands up there in a club tracksuit with a normal accent and plays 442 people just can't take him seriously because he hasn't come from some exotic European location, doesn't play the trendy 451/433 and doesn't spout inflated bullshit to the press as if every comment is a grand insight into the game of football. People find it all to simplistic. People like to think football is this grand and complicated game and can't be simplified by a man from Borehamwood. It's the very same reason Harry Redknapp wasn't given the England's manager job.
I am not against foreign managers, managers wearing suits, or managers playing the 451/433 formation - but I do not buy into the snobbery that persists right up to the highest level in English football at the moment that stops talented managers getting their chances because their face doesn't fit the brand image and profile.
As I am writing this I am watching Chris Hughton on MOTD come across as a totally bland and uninspiring robot in his club suit and tie. All very professional, prim and proper - but not the kind of bloke I'd want in the dressing room to gee up the players before a big game at Old Trafford.

Wow, who even are the other two 'punters'. Other than idiots that is?

The cunt's turning me round! Tim Sherwood...my man!
Last year meant more because it was against Fergie, first time for a longtime, and they finished champions. But both are great wins and there is no doubt that we have had a great festive period.
If Sherwood grew a ginger beard and did all his interviews from a Land Rover window would he be our perfect manager?
Cant wait for Vlad and Super Jan to play together in their righful positions. They are our best CBs.No comment!
Can't wait to see Daws continue to play well and prove his critics wrong, he's our best CB.
My only concern here is neither are particularly vocal guys, which is a major asset from the CB position. But tangibly speaking in the terms of talent, yes you are right.
Lord have mercy, just stfu already.
This, right here. I supported AVB but have to say that when he came on, our break out play went tits up. Since Sherwood has come on, we are that dangerous on the break team from the CL year and more.
What has also made a welcome return are the penetrating through balls to Lennon in the final third. God how I missed those. :gomes: I always thought it was because we lost Modric and his string pulling ability, but that is clearly not the case. Lennon must be busting through at least a half dozen times each match these last few weeks.
It's fucking glorious.
Had the score spoiled for me before I was able to watch a replay stream. After watching the game, I'm not even mad that it was spoiled, I would have had a heart attack by the end of it. :gomes:
Absolutely amazing nothing when in for them considering the immense amount of pressure.
Awesome win and we are climbing the table. Hope Ade is okay for Saturday.

What can I say, I have the biggest grin on my face this morning and it's all thanks to spurs. If anyone has deserved this it has to be us.....after what we've been through this season. This is why we love Spurs
When I look back at the game itself, I cannot help but attribute our recent drastic improvement to just simply being able to bring back the joy of the game. The ability to play football with less rigidity and most importantly a smile has been key to our recent resurgence after AVB's departure.... Undoubtedly we have a set of players who are only at their best when they feel appreciated and happy (Adebayor being a great example of this!). This only reinforces the fact that we should support the team through thick and thin and build WHL as the fortress it is.
Tactically, I always felt we had a good chance in this game. Man Utd are not particularly good at the moment and I always trust Lennon to rip Evra a new bumhole. I was particularly pleased with Daws, Chiriches, Lennon, Eriksen, and Adebayor.
By the way what's up with Adebayor's new salute thing?? I was at the WBA game and he did to us in west lower at least twice throughout the game... I love him, such a maverick! I reckon we should all do that with him next time he scores.... Lets make it a thing.
