Makes me very happy to hear he is working so hard. Good for him.

He looked completely beaten down by the job last year. For me what I really like about is that he has really take the job to heart and it suggests he hates not playing well as much as any of us. He clearly demonstrates a lot of pride in being our manager.

Good point, he hates losing. Because he is a winner. Seems determined to flush the loser mentality out of the club. I hope he can do it!

It's on Twitter. A little creepy as he's asleep. Strange people.

Cheers.

I always fall asleep on the plane, even if I've had a good nights sleep.

Looking through the Malaga, Grenada and Cordoba squad lists you would think it would be Darder he was looking at. Another central midfielder of quality would be very useful too IMO, because to keep our tempo at the level he wants I think most weeks you will replace 2 of them a good 25 minutes from time and rotate them.

Only other player that I saw was a Columbian forward at Grenada called Cordoba that has been compared to Drogba and looks a beast but very raw. The boredom of waiting for kids to go to sleep!

Is Tim's missus an air stewardess by any chance?  It's the only way she's going to see anything of him.

Is that when your co pilot takes over?

Agree with all that ozz.   Taking the bull by the horns in Spain is something I would prefer he avoids.   How many got killed yesterday in the bull running? Seven? 

That's a load of bullocks.

I know we've been linked with Darder but your description of Cordoba sounds exactly the sort of player Sherwood would be playing close attention to right now.

Going to the Malaga v Sevilla match on Friday. I'll look out for Darder and compile a report*.

A co-pilot? Hmmm...not a bad idea.

We do it 50% of the time, normally while the Captain is asleep.

Tim is taking advantage of Friday night as he can scout games over last few days.

Especially when you're about to take off.

As I suspected.

Looks like Lescott is on the way out of the baggies according to the Daily Star.......Pulls has placed him on the list of players open to offer.
