East Stander 0 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 The esteemed (by himself) Mr Oliver has been missing in action for quite a while now. On his hols/bulletted/gagged by FS? Anyone know? His "knowledgeable" take on the whole affair has been sorely missed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 17522 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I think he's winding down ready for retirement, I'm sure we're all relieved about that..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his defence, it is a difficult job politically wise. You basically have to toe the club line or you get no exclusives - especially when you get a headcase like Souness in charge. But unlike Souness, I don't blame all the shit that's happened over the past 18 months on Oliver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleftpeg 0 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Maybe this whole episode has finally shown the Chronicle bosses that they employ a complete tit as a sports writer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Stander 0 Posted February 9, 2006 Author Share Posted February 9, 2006 A week after his "mate" has gone and Mr O re-appears in today's Ronny Gill. Bet he's gutted he has missed out on putting the boot in but I'm sure he'll make up for it in time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting story as well, claiming Emre and Luque came in to do training today when the squad had the day off. Must have killed him, two foreigners showing a bit of commitment.

Bombadil 0 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 It says in the Chronicle today that Luque won't even be on the bench tomorrow and Roeder has said that he will name the same XI and substitutes. What the hell is that all about? You could say he doesn't exactly deserve to be in the starting line-up after his performances for us, but to have a subs bench of Elliott, Clark, Bowyer and Dyer is just pointless. Why isn't he on the bench instead of Clark or Bowyer? It doesn't make sense not to have a striker on the bench. You could say that Dyer can come in and play up front, which is fair enough, but Clark and Bowyer are quite similar in what they offer/don't offer. How is he supposed to find his form and make an impact if he doesn't even get a place on the bench? Roeder is also blatantly pissing him off by doing it, I'm not sure that will help his morale.
