Idiotic behaviour from an experienced player, should be able to control himself when the games are so critical for us.

Players like that will never change. See also Roy Keane, Wayne Rooney. And even if they did, they'd probably be a lesser player because of it. The negative is that you have a player who'll miss games every season from suspension, but at the same time, I think most clubs do need a double hard bastard who shits up the opposition a bit. We in particular need someone like Hutton because the vast majority of our squad wouldn't be deemed butch enough for a chorus line.

I understand that but it just seemed so bloody pointless
Well he certainly didn't need to go as far as trying to rid the world of Berahino offspring, but with players like that they're going to cross the line every now and again and no amount of fines, yellow, red cards or suspensions are likely to change that really.

That said if he gets himself sent off in the cup final after two minutes I will be monumentally pissed off with him.

It's not going to happen because he's going to score the late winner, with a 35 yard thunderbastard.

I like Hutton.

I know he can't cross for shit, but he's solid defensively and prepared to at least get the ball up field by way of running with it rather than just launching it.

I also get the impression we have too many fannies in our side. Sherwood and Lambert have both said it is a quiet dressing room, and on the pitch we don't really have many hard cases, so I like the fact we've got Hutton there.

As for Albion, what a bunch of whining twats. Boo hooing about that Shane Long tackle, still.

The 94 and 96 team must be the first in yonks to have won something without a Scot. Unless i'm forgetting someone.

And Tommy Johnson was both ridiculously ginger and from Newcastle, which is close enough.

Graham Fenton looked Scottish and came from the small Scottish fishing village Whitley Bay.
