      Jeremiah Colman would be proud of that one AQM!
      Side note: I've just done a rapid read of the history of Colman's mustard. For anyone going to the away fixture, I'd heartily recommend a detour to the Colman's Mustard and Museum Shop :hehe:

          Nice one! :hehe: I have been chuckling to myself at the thought of a coach-load of CCFC away supporters all heading back to Wales with souvenir bags crammed with Colman's mustard memorabilia!

              Commit to a luxury player, who isn’t going to give you much when you haven’t got the ball, and you’ve got yourself a player.

              Call me old fashioned, not quite as old fashioned as Colin, but wingers and forwards are in the team for what they can do with the ball not what they do without the ball.

              If they excel at both they won’t be playing in league 1 that’s for sure.

              Best of luck to him. Colin was a dinosaur who thinks slating the guy in public was the best way to get a tune out of him.

                I wonder if he's the type of player who needs to feel like the big star in the team to get the best out of him.

                I can remember the same being said of Koumas, and players like Taarabt

                  I don't know, of course, but that's not how I've ever imagined him to be. Warnock was a master at buying the wrong players for his teams at hugely inflated prices and on big wages then being an unforgiving bast*rd when it didn't pay off. I think he destroyed him tbh. He was unlucky not to escape like Decordova-Reid managed to (for a tidy sum). Wrong club, wrong manager, wrong set up. What could possibly go wrong?

                    Under Warnock, murphy would end up incredibly isolated when one of his runs hit a dead end, he was offered no support from his team mates. The ball was knocked in to him and nobody would follow the pass and offer support. He also struggled with the defensive side of the game as Warnock wanted him in the fullback position if we were out of possession. Hoilett adjusted better to it, he had better feet and better vision, his game wasn't all about carrying the ball, Murphy's was. NML was just a souped up Ford Orion with no brakes, indicators, hazard lights etc and was probably run on bent jet fuel.

                      Probably a good move for him. Needs a decent contract though as if this doesn’t work not sure where he goes next.

                            Glad he's an academic as I think his days of big time football are over.
