    That's a bit unfair army, Laws didn't get the job until halfway through January, and was chucked a couple of million quid and told, 'keep us up with that'. He literally had a few days to find a couple of players and had next to nowt to spend. There's not much available if you start looking at the back end of January and Cort was quite probably the best he could get. I was no fan of Laws, I was glad to see the back of him, but I don't blame him for signing Cort, I remember asking at the time, who else was available that he should have bought instead.

    Pulis (again!) had our pants down with Leon and no mistake.

    He did not even have the decency to send us a lubicrant...

    I seem to remember a Derby v rovers where he just stuck out a stiff leg and gave a penalty away for us to lose- stocks in the memory.

    Our good friend Mike Dean gave that pen and our good friend David Dunn scored it.

    I can remember two games on't Turf where Leon played quite well, can't remember who they were against now, but there were definitely two.
