So who will he blame tonight lads? he likes to single out players as scapegoats (something Keegan and Bobby and Arabs never did as they had class) so who will he blame for our latest loss?
Shearer used to throw Barton under the bus quite a bit. Pardew also ended up using Barton I think. Schteeve didn't have enough time. He seems quite nice to be fair. Rafa had quite a number, Mitrovic, Ritchie, everyone in the North East, the weather, grass, goal dimensions, the alignment of the sun effecting polar activity. If I was Steve I'd say "Listen, Joelinton is ****ing **** and they keep telling me to play him."
I'm just being facetious. I dunno if he did either, I know it pisses off a pocket of our regulars though.
Has a website devoted to his excuses, the only other who shares that honour is Pardew. It's Pouchy levels of presenting fiction as fact.
