If ever there were an article to demonstrate why our club should not touch the man.

I don't want him near the job.

The physical stuff is bad enough, but it is general attitude and the way he comes across in interviews that I really don't like.  He fancies himself as some kind of intellectual, when it is quite apparent that his natural persona is more that of a caveman.

It's like I said on another thread the worst thing is an arrogant idiot and that's how he comes across.

Pearson reminds me of my Physics Teacher at Grammar School, a psychopathic bully. I've read nothing in a variety of articles to dissuade me from that view.

Did you get a decent grade in physics?

That image of him throttling MacArthur on the ground is just awful.

Anyone got Brian Little's email address. Maybe Pat Murphy can have a word.

We can only hope that the board have carefully looked into everything and spoken to many people before we appoint the next manager. I'd forgotten about a lot of this stuff with Pearson, and it's completely swayed my vote to just about anyone else. I still stand by saying there are things to like about his overall record, but the things not to like are overwhelming.

But I'm hoping it is Moyes if the next manager is British. Anyone after that seems a massive let down.

Sounds like mine Mr Lonsdale at King Edwards Aston. A wanker of such magnitude you can find him filed alongside the likes of Richards, M and Agbonlahor, G.

I had a Geography teacher like that, put me off the subject and until I met another Welsh person, the Welsh. He picked on the hardest lad in our year once (nice guy, very laid back), prodding him in the chest attempting to humiliate him in front of the class and hoping to provoke him.
He then made the mistake of turning his back on him. Only time I've seen a teacher flat on their back and a class cheering.

The biggest wanker teacher I had was Mr Sewell, who taught modern languages at Aldridge. There has yet to be a word invented which could adequately define the loathing I have for that man.

We had a Geography teacher from Wales and her nickname was "Welsh Mountains." I'll leave the reasons for that to your imagination...

I was at Aldridge school when Mr Fox was history teacher. He was eventually sent down for two years for speedoffeelya!

I've gone for the much cheaper and ultimately more satisfying option of writing a novel about it.

She had such bad dandruff that it looked like she was Snowed on?

I never heard anything about that. It was either far before my time or a lot later. I was there 92-99.
