He once again proved himself to be the biggest bottler around. Sporting Lisbon 2nd leg anyone? Another chance we had to taking the game to a ****-scared opposition who were on the rack after a shocking run, yet our team selection and formation put them immediately on the front foot.
It;d be bad enough in any derby, at any time. But to do this when we had the opportunity of actually walking back across the Park above them in the table is just beyond belief. I, for one, will never forgive him for this. **** Saturday, **** Sunderland, **** the Cup. This is THE DERBY. We had the chance of GOING ABOVE THEM. We were on good form, they were on ****e form. They were probably fearing us, or at least a bit edgy.
But then that ginger Jock prick goes all cautious once again and immediately they're on the front foot before they've even pulled their boots on.
Imagine the momentum going into a Cup 1/4 final a win - or even a credible draw - we'd have had. Now, if we lose on Saturday we've well and truly been derailed and one has to look at it honestly and say we've only ourselves to blame.
Well, we've only our "footballing messiah" to blame.
Ten more years? I've wanted shot of him for a while now, but 10 more games with him in charge is too long for me.
