You sure about that? I don't remember Wood making that declaration. In fact, I got him to take a selfie of the two of us (I didny know how to do it!) at the pre-season camp in Austria. There is no way on this earth that I would have starred in such a photie if I was aware that he'd announced his intention to leave. In fact, my recollection is that he didn't comment publicly until his statement that he wasn't going to play in a match - just days before he left.
The "Wood had decided to leave before the season started" was a rumour started on this very forum I believe, the first I heard about it was a few weeks back on here when Wood's name was mentioned along with Taylor.
I didn’t start it. but seem to recall wood gave an interview to the yep saying he has said he was off at the end of last season at the same time rob green said he wanted out/
Have you undergone some form of Dr Who like regeneration over night? - I do hope you will be more, how can I say this ?.......... probably best not to I think I did come across a useful, if inaccurate, definition of pontification The act of speaking out for the purpose of hearing onself speak. Posturing...speaking to people that don't really care what you say one way or another since you're speaking solely to front yourself as "someone in charge". Speech or written communication that is generally pointless except to cast favorable light upon the speaker or author as if the message were a pronouncement from on high. Usually full of sh!t. I do hope the zucchetto doesn't fit ?
Pretty much exactly what I had in mind when I suggested the name change Eric, to be fair...I've sorted the errors.
