Its a persuasive argument.

Looking forward to this. I'm going to try and pester him at the end with questions about Stewart Downing.

[Hassony]

If everyone in the world was white, there would've been no racism

That bit at the end about his move from Watford was cool as well. All friggin sorted in the January and all the bullsh*t in the papers even then? What a bunch of c*nts.

He seems like an all round top guy.

 

Even did great when the first question was from a nob.

seems like a good interview for the offal , maybe Jen Chang has started his work already

[Chewie]

Is Barnes on staff as some sort of official ambassador / spokesperson and if not, why the heck not?

[johngibo YPC]

Its a fascinating interview for all sorts of reasons

Indeed. It's a thinly disguised PR shout-out to Martinez, for one thing. Found talk about the lack of tactics employed during his time especially interesting. Maybe Kenny is more Harry Rednapp than we thought? Tactically speaking of course.

It's well-known that during our most succesful period training was basically loads of games of 5-a-side and even then some players didn't really bother. I'm told that they used to play on adjoining pitches and Hansen and someone else just use to stand on the sidelines having a chat, when they swapped pitches they'd just step over the line and carry on chatting. Was told at the same time that Paisley's teamtalks were almost incomprehensible, he'd point out an opposiition player and say "Watch him, he likes to fling the far-flung one."

 

I think Barnes is spot on about 'tactics'.
