He said we were a poor team, and given the players we have and what we've achieved this season it's hard to disagree. The sum of the parts is a huge fat negative. He'd just watched what any neutral would say was a poor game, littered with mistakes and at times desperate football, between two poor sides. It was a fantastic result for us, we worked hard, but it was hard labour. Savage is looking for a full-time media career and he'll get one, because he's got opinions and is not afraid to express them. Ok, it's deliberately controversial at times but compare that to the bland fence-sitting of the likes of Shearer who is paid a lot, lot more money for saying little of consequence and looking smug. I thought the segment on Barton he did was excellent. As an aside, someone I know who knows nothing about football and barely knows who he is shared a radio studio with him a little while ago, while he did his 6-0-6, and was impressed at how down to earth and easy going he was.
