My grand kids and eldest daughter have. Lovely bloke. They have photographs taken with him when they were mascots.
N. Pearson is forthright. Reacted with candour to stupid questions posed in post match interviews. Refreshing i.m.o. Plus has had some success. Exact opposite to t'other Nige in temperament. It's working @ Watford - probably due to his rapport with the returning Deeney. If the opportunity to move to a higher placed club when your present club is in turmoil, who wouldn't. They are chattels in the world of football. Every man for himself.
Aston Villa are doing all they can to help him. 3 - 0 down to the Hunters after less than 30 mins. Home fans are leaving.
I don't know him, but I know someone who does. I won't name them obviously, but they're Nottingham. You know what, I'm going to have to leave this there. Trust me, I'm not being funny or anything. I just know he's a ****. If I'm pressed on this, I promise you and anyone else. I'll close my account on here and that will be that.
Have a soft spot for Watford , only because their strip looks like an anemic version of ours and we pipped them twice to promotion . Hope Mr. Pearson keeps them up with the help of gentlemen Shakey .
Forza Hunter! Villa well and truly anally violated- dreadful needy entitled fanbase and a club whose best days were in the 1800s.
I met him at the pre-season friendly at Winterton, I asked him if he'd sign my g'sons shirt, he signed it and grabbed another half dozen players as they walked by to sign it as well; he spent two or three minutes nattering about his hopes for the season and was nothing but really friendly.
Relegated, threatened with a winding up order, yes, turmoil. Then up steps papa, cheque book in hand. Hmmm, thinks Nigel, a benefactor to bring in one or two to steady the ship. Perhaps talks had begun to bring players in, how best to get the club back in the Prem, only to wake up morning to a picture of a field and talks of building a new stadium, that escalated into front page spats. Possibly the first person to see the Allams in a true light, and then Leicester came calling. A way out, phew.
I'll always remember the Saturday night EFL prog on C5 as it was then. NP being interviewed after he'd lost to a late one here to a team caretaker-managed by Nicky Barmby. NP was being asked what advice he would give to NB about taking the job. He was remarkably evasive with his response. And I'm sure I didn't dream it but daft smoggy Clem was doing a feature on the Allams and City, fairly early in the Allam Reich. Clem patted Assem Allam on the head Benny Hill style as he woun up his interview ...reckon maybe 7 or 8 years ago now..
CM , your memory seems to be way off just lately . The EFL programme was on the BBC when a well placed ball from Robbie Koren saw City dispatch the Foxes when Nicky Barmby was our boss and Nigel P was interviewed .
Neil’s latest - Colorado - is surprisingly good. Best since Ragged Glory/Freedom days. Not bad for a 72 yr old or whatever he is.
