In order to rid myself of the current gloom & immerse myself in nostalgia I dug out my Toon Newspaper Headlines book from 1905 onwards.Great snippets from the 50's & Fairs Cup exploits. Then I came to 2006 - an extract from the Mirror .... England looking for a new manager.FA appointed a 3 man committee to find Sven's replacement. Here were the English candidates..... Really ??????
Sam Allardyce........ Steve McLaren........ Stuart Pearce .... & yes you guessed it Cabbageheed.
This was the article on Bruce & I quote :
''Linked with both the England & Newcastle jobs Bruce's hopes of an eye catching victory over Arsenal were wrecked by record breaking Gunners striker Thierry Henry.Emmanuel Adebayor put Arsenal ahead before Henry settled it with his 200th goal for the club.
Birmingham had Emile Heskey sent off & rarely troubled an Arsenal side missing several first choice defenders ''
Somethings never change.... keep up the good work you clueless inept excuse for a coach.
