To one of my favourite managers, Tony Mowbray of Middlesborogh, I am sure his award was whilst somewhat unexpected, richly deserved. Matthew Bates also deserves a round of applause for a reportedly outstanding defensive display last month for his club. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/sai...ed_for_awards/
Nice of Singing Blue 3 to praise you and I second his sentiments, well done it was deserved, however SB3 is really only using it as a Wind Up against the Saints, his sincerity is dubious to say the least.
