and it should be noted how much better we have been in general without Dunne
Dunne is doing the new series of Man v Food, so we may not see him for a while.

McLeish said: "Herdy went to hospital for a check-up after the game. He had a head knock. He wasn't unconscious so we're hopeful there's no concussion

"Warnock went over his ankle, landed badly and he will have a scan and X-rays."


Why not "Warnocky"?  No consistency some people.

wat a nob, MCLISH OUT!!1!

He's referencing a game that must have happened almost fifteen years ago as proof of our ability to cause an upset.

Is that in response to the two comments about the injuries?

Well you have to admire the mans mental out world dimension he likes to slip into, he makes one statement here that explains this whole season and AM ability to read a situation, he says.

Quote:  He said: "Can I spoil the United party? I have done it before with Motherwell when we played Rangers.

Do I really need to say anymore.


Just to add to this, I do think we'll get a draw.

When David Bowie used to write songs, he'd scribble words and phrases on a piece of paper, chop it up and then randomly arrange the content to form the lyric. Mcleish seems to take the same avante garde approach to media interviews - select a bunch of cliches and random thoughts, jumble them up and present them as a tactical master plan. I used to cringe at Mcleish's interviews but now I'm just bemused by his nonsense.

David Bowie stole that technique from William Burroughs who wrote novels then edited them by shuffling the pages and re-numbering them.

I'm no fan of McLeish but he's hardly likely to say 'I'm expecting a right fucking banjoing by Utd', I'm expecting it but I don't get paid 2m a year by the Villa.

It seems to me that he pretty much did.
