11. Accept that when he does walk out your entire club will be held by the national media as ungrateful and unable to realise the genius you drove away.

12. You may have already come across a new Sunderland fan who makes strange references to Spurs. Ignore him.

Patrick Barclay of the Times is the worst culprit.
He makes out that he's a wonderful hybrid of Clough, Shankley and Ferguson.

Once there is a threat to the media myth that MON is some sort of messiah and footballing genius, he'll walk & then sue for the privileged.

I'll be bursting my lungs on Saturday to let the twat know exactly what I think of him & I hope that all Villa fans do the same. The continuing mess we are in is in no small part due to the actions that litigious fuckpig.

13. Don't expect to do very well in March.

14. Martin's genius is such that he can make a full back out of anything. To such an extent you shan't need to sign one or even play the ones you do have.

15. Don't worry about having a load of old, overpaid players stuck on your wagebill, which will be much higher than Spurs in spite of them doing better.

16. Martin is so good at finding hidden gems he doesn't even need to search outside of the British Isles.

17. As soon as the going gets tough or his every whim is not pandered to he'll throw his toys out of the pram and leave you right in the shit.

Henry Winter I find worse. It was he who said MON is too good a man for football.

It's almost too easy, so all i'll say is if he's so great why were you lot booing him and your side at HT and FT against the Dogheads?

I'd give it a couple of seasons, Quinny, and I reckon you and you mackem mates will know the same bitterness, once Sun'lun's honeymoon with O'Neill is over

We'll see; although every club he's been at has enjoyed some of their best times in living memory under his stewardship, so I'll remain unreservedly optomistic.

Enjoy it while it lasts, I know I did.

What he delivered at Villa on such a modest net-spend for example (£23m, was it?), was nothing short of incredible.

In my living memory his best season is roughly our twelfth best. 'Incredible' = finishing as high as David O'Leary.

Has PD started bringing on subs before the 75th minute and does he now look at the camera when speaking or does he still stare at the ground? I know when he emerged from his dismissal, he had obviously gone through some communication skills lessons when acting as a TV pundit.

O'Neill was basically John Gregory minus the Grecian 2000 with a third of a law degree.

18. Gets extremely agitated when someone in the media does not bow down before him and actually questions him.

Classic example here:
