Didn't we bear Villa 5-0 and Weds 7-1 with some sublime footie?

He then did a Dick next season, decided he didn't want any creativity and drove out anyone with any creative ability.

Well, at least that's how I remember it. I'm sure LA will be along in a bit to point out every single sentence I've written is factually inaccurate. But that was my take.

Hence the next season, we won both cups playing defensive football.
Listen mate, when you get to my age it's a miracle that I remembered it was George Graham I was talking about, never mind precise details.

He did turn us into a team that played boring football and kicked people, and that is shameful.
