Going from a (very dim) memory I think it was a Kendrick or at least a B'Ham mail piece. They would certainly have been there and the image they painted of Sherwood with all these printouts on the training pitch just stayed in my mind. I think it got put down to "a lot of crazy stuff happens pre-season tours" and obviously journos don't shout about it at the time because they have a season or maybe longer with a manager and have to keep some sort of relationship. I did meet Kendrick in the US and we had a long chat about how hard it was to maintain the relationship with Villa under the McCleish regime.

The story is that when pre-season started in Portugal Tim Sherwood and his coaching "team" didn't realize that they had to organize the fitness sessions - they thought someone else did it. They had to go into the hotel while the players waited outside and they printed out workouts from the internet. They literally came outside with the print outs and started the pre-season that way. We were an utter shambles from Lerner on down - actually only bloke who did seem to do a half decent job was Paddy O'Riley who was using stats to sign Amavi, Gueye & Veretout. If he had a half decent coaching team we may have had half a chance. Buyt at the same time we also had Lescott & Richards as center backs so probably not.

Keown is a self aggrandizing drony old bore. There are so many podcasters out there who offer infinitely more insight into football.

For my money they just don't play it quickly enough to Grealish. We would get to him fast and get the defence retreating on their heels - he could then drive at them. He always has the ball with the opposition in their shape when he plays for City. I think he doesn't look his best this way.

No worries sorted it!

Bollocks - that Purlsow is a sneaky git

That’s what I thought

Anyone got an idea why Ollie didn't celebrate the goal? He seemed actually pissed off.

@Demitri_C ?

Exactly - this wasn’t relying on Jack Grealish or someone’s individual performance. It was a tactically beautifully performance. Everyone did their job and knew their roles. Dean Smith and his team are a fabulous set of coaches. We are in great hands.

I haven’t celebrated a goal like that in a long time - I scared the shit out of the Mrs.

At least 8 more mins

The Emi dance

Oh look Mike Dean gave Man Utd a pen in the 90th minute

Emi coming on!

Needs Bert to put his foot on the ball

Ferguson texting Mike Dean telling him what time he wants the pen

I’d take McGinn off

Very even half. We’ve got them rattled It’ll be who can tweak it from the bench
