Another note of concern to me is that mon rarely attends training sessions so I believe, another of cloughies traits, I doubt he took too kindly to carlos saying he would like to play centre half this season either-upset him at your peril!

And the Mark Kelly 'get me a Coach, and quickly' call seems pretty much on the money.

What's most funny about it is that unlike others like Sorensen, Maloney at least takes his share of the blame.

He ended up playing CB with the kids and dead men walking at Basingstoke last week after those comments.

god i hope thats just a coincidence. A season of Cuellar being ignored, collins at right back while Davies is brought into the centre is too painful to contemplate

Now, now Greg. We all know it will be Davies at right-back.

And rather than Cuellar's passing every time the ball goes near him Curtis god bless him will cack it and smash the ball away meaning some poor sod in the Upper Holte or North will need to get treated by the St. John's ambulance folks for concussion.

I won’t criticise O’Neill over Maloney. All the Prozac in the world couldn’t put a smile on the miserable buggers face.


He must have known what Maloney was like from his time at Celtic.  OK Maloney was an overly sensitive little soul, but there's no point buying a young player like that then treating him in a way you know he'll react badly to.

For a so called motivational expert, O'Neill really isn't much of a people person.


This little topic puts me in mind of a PE teacher I used to have. If you were one of his guys and you obviously had the ability, you'd always be okay. But if your face didn't fit or you were capable of a bit of independent thought, he would make your life a misery.


The rising of the sun made wee Shaun's life miserable.

I accept your point to a degree Risso, he should have known that he was terminally morose, but unless you include psychological evaluations in the medical, then you’re never going to know that a player will end up being so chronically homesick too.

Davies has no positional sense.. you could never work out where he was supposed to be playing. half the time he was further to the right than Young so he might as well get the rightback gig.

What a fucking waste. I find this almost as depressing as the Milner thing.

He's not the best right back ever, he's not the future of this club, but he's a decent pro who's rarely let us down. And he just been dumped.

His replacement better be good Martin.

You assume he'll be replaced?

As Mark said, some poor sod has to sit on the bench in the full knowledge he'll never get on.

I wonder how much of this might be James Nursey realising today might be a good time to dump on Martin a bit.

Someone else treated badly by MON. The list is building


I may be old fashioned but isnt the player supposed to impress the manager?

Maybe Luke was too busy counting his £????? pay roll to actually think about training hard and wanting to play for his employee.

Your thoughts will be interesting to read.

A) Wouldn't Luke struggle to impress a manager who seldom watches him train?

B) Luke has gone on record as saying he doesn't think he's been treated fairly or been judged by the same criteria as other players the club. He may not be the most reliable source but...

C) He's a player who has been remarked as being a good honest and solid pro wherever he's been.
