Credit Due To Fat Sam.

Enough of this rubbish about his style of football and limping him in with Pullis.

People who say this about him are clueless about football in my opinion.

Look at the penalties today for example.

First one was due to pressing high up the pitch and then a quick interchange of crisp passes and good movement.

Second one was at the end of a good move and a lovely incisive pass into feet by Grosicki.

I remember my dad saying to me back in 88 when Holland won the Euoros with Gullit and Van Basten about the myths people espouse about “long ball” football.

“These Dutch hit a lot of long ball, 30, 40, 50 yards” he said to me........”the problem is for the opposition that most of them go straight to feet or slice them wide open!”

In dad’s opinion there was no such thing as a long ball, there was only a good pass or a bad pass, the length of it was irrelevant.

Fat Sam doesn’t play hoof ball like Pullis, if you think he does then I’m sorry but you’ve got an agenda against the bloke.

This is our best manager since Sir Gary and Roy Hodgson and if we can keep him for 5-6 years and get a half decent owner we’ll be a constant mid table Premier side in the years to come.
