Gabriele Marcoti.

[Herbert Augustus Chapman]

He's an odd chap, isn't he? Not as odd as Scowcroft. Between them, they make thast podcast a peculiarly stressful listen. One is constantly on edge lest they commence fighting with each other. Bizarre, yet intriguing.

ten minute grace period after kick-off when thugs could dish out their career threatening tackles with impunity may have received grim nods of approval from the likes of Sir Alex, but effectively meant we were playing a different game to the rest of the world, especially Europe. He was appalled at some of the brutality that was permitted in our game.

It was the brutality that eventually led to Eduardo's ankle then Ramsey having his leg broken and that cap wearing yokel sounding utter utter *****-warbler Pulis complaining that the tackle should not have even seen yellow let alone red.

I often noted Marcoti would call match outcomes quite accurately too as it happens.
