Was talking to a drongo in the pub last week, he said that we are a poor watch and Parker is a rubbish manager and we should be walking this league with the players he has inherited from Kompany.

I slapped him down, told him he was chatting sh!t and that last August, half the team was sold off and that we were literally down to the bones. I then went onto say that Parker has done an amazing job and that for us to be competing for an automatic spot is an amazing achievement.

I won't argue with the fact that at times it has been turgid. I put that down to the fact that he is trying to mold a side capable of promotion, and to do that you need to keep things tight. Imo we have been more entertaining since Edwards signed and that has come with more goals
