Are you sure he didn’t say that he trod in a kaka in a chippy in Grimsby?

You seem to be worried sick about poor old Man Utd Matt! Worried sick for the club, worried sick for the staff. Why don’t you let these concerns be known on some of their sites instead of going on & on about them on a Leeds Utd site all the time? Im far more interested in clubs like Plymouth & Cheltenham & Mansfield than i am in a club who rake in hundreds of millions of pounds a year & still manage to get themselves in the shit.So less of your sensasionalist comments about me ‘revelling in the unemployment of Man Utd employees’ Matt, because like i said, your just writing a load of speculative & hyperthetical bollocks. & if you insist on slagging Bates off all the time & then worrying yourself sick about the future of that lot,then maybe it’s time you bought yourself a green & gold scarf? Or would you ‘never stoop so low’? Im tired of reading your endless comments about them all the time! Go & write your sympathetic notes on their sites instead.

Erm… you mean aside from the money we owe (and pay every year) to the people who bought the club?

Excellent post Craig and I totally agree. When our backs are to the wall, we always come out on top. But you only have to look at the FA Cup final against Sunderland or the play-off final v Donny to see what happens when we’re favourites. This pretty much sums up my theory though. Whenever we’re expected to do something, we over-think it and draw on past failures. This creates negativity, which is undoubtedly passed onto the players.

PS. My point was also a little swipe at Larry’s insistence on playing Hughes on the left-side, where he is obviously struggling!

Haha, well, whatever Capaldi was playing looked nothing like what our right-back was doing!

Nice come back TSS, a bit silly but I am guessing you were trying to be funny.

If I need to explain about playing positions and how they are exactly the same but on different sides of the pitch I might just pack it in now.

@Reaper08 “he couldn’t spot a left back (Capaldi) and is there really much difference ?”

You mean aside from the fundamental difference that one should be left-footed and the other… erm… right?

I think Capaldi was offered to/forced on us as a free “what-yer-got-to-lose”.

Coming from Cardiff City, a fair-to-good-going Championship side at the time, I think anyone utterly unknowing of Capaldi’s skills and attributes would have presumed that he would have been able to hold his own against Kettering Town. Sadly not, and to be fair to Grayson, he dropped him after two more try-outs and waved away any prospect of him signing on a permanent contract.

I don’t judge Grayson and he has my unconditional support but he couldn’t spot a left back (Capaldi) and is there really much difference ?
