Should've would've could've. What a mess that was then. And then to sack Uncle Neil right away for lovely Christmas. And we weren't even doing that badly.We should've kept that defence and keeper. They had something like 25 clean sheets that season.

He says he plays for his home town club Riga now.He's nearly 36 but still going. Played for Latvia last night.
Currently at Dukla Prague but he's been there two years and has only three appearances (and three goals!).

I see Ferdinand was sent off for Southend yesterday.Agree completely. But being completely honest about it, Uncle Neil sold him to get some money and then when Uncle Tone gave him a blank chequebook he spent 2-3 times as much replacing him with Anton bloody Ferdinand not to mention, super SWP and Joey Barton. If it was true, I would have gone cap in hand to Gorkss explained why I'd had to let him ago against my better judgment and given him a payrise and massive apology to get him back immediately. The wages for Barton alone and the length of their contracts sowed the seeds for his own demise. He's the best manager we've had for decades who was hamstrung and first and then hung out to dry when the first moment of panic beset our clear-minded super entrepreneur owner but he isn't infallible.
