It is about Garde, on Twitter quoted a few times now.

Interesting article from Lee Dixon in the Mirror about how he and Garde got on well, and they spent a lot of time together when he was out injured. One of the few pundits I genuinely like Dixon, could happily cope with him on our coaching team.

Yep seen it now. Appears we have settled for the assistants too which was a matter of time. Probably why Randy took his motor out there to finalize things.

Where did you see the bit about the assistants?

I have had a few £s on Garde; hopefully a more successful bet than my last which was on Solskjaer being our next Manager!

I do think the idea of bringing Duverne back who knows the place from before is a decent idea, and surely he should be much easier to get out of a 2nd division side.

I reckon the strongest finish would be Lambert's first season.

We beat Arsenal away and Liverpool home back to back at the end of that season though. The Lambert one we played some great stuff mind. Never ever repeated it though!

In part I was referring to how we looked fitness wise. We looked sharp at the end of the Houllier season and some of that goes down to RD who appears to coming back. Given how unfit or blunt we've looked so far he'll be a useful addition.

I agree he will be, but I don't think that we looked any fitter end of that season than we did end of Lambert's first. We scored a fair few late goals that Lambert season. Ah, late goals that meant something, such happy memories.
