Alan Hutton the Scottish Cafu Retires

We all have our opinions on what's good or not. Hutton was/is one of us. All power to him.

My thoughts exactly.

I don't consider him "one of us" whatever that is supposed to mean.  He was good at trundling up the wing and achieving very little with his crosses, good at trundling back so slowly he was often caught out of position while the opposition winger assisted or scored, good at just being badly positioned and caught out, and good at "reducer" challenges every now and then.  OK he scored a couple of wonder goals and one of them was against Blues. And he didn't complain when left out and in the bomb squad.  But then I wouldn't complain if I had a job paying 30-40k a week and had to do fuck all for it.  He seems a decent chap in many ways and I wish him all the best but like others I don't get the love-in.

Look, there's a time and place for cold, hard-headedness ansd a complete removal of empathy or romance, and it's usually in the department of work and pensions under a Tory government when considering the circumstances of a poor person

Two nails hit simultaneously on the bonce.

Correct, we are still basking in that post promotion glow and only nice fluffy thoughts are allowed until we bump heavily back to earth in August. It's a bit like how we dwell more on the Villa than our mortality.

To be fair, the whole post was just an opportunity to dig at the Tories. You post just provided the platform.

And none the worse for that.

[ktvillan]

Fair enough, no complaints with digs at the Tories.

Who's Corbin? The bloke that invented the trouser press?

I see you a Jeremy Corbyn (who I agree is a tit) and raise you a Boris 'twice sacked for lying, picanninies with watermelon smiles, muslim women look like letterboxes, discussing having someone beaten up on the phone, screaming, swearing breaking things in the early hours, chancer, opportunist and serial liar' Johnson.

Ah, Jeremy Corbyn. Yeah, he's a twat, but I'm always slightly amused by those that fear life under his governance, when over the last 9 years our society and politics have been ripped apart despite starting out in a relatively comfortable place.

It's like worrying what the crusty looking bloke over the road is up to whilst you're having your face kicked in by a gang of youths.
