He was kind of right to be fair. Rather than nicking it, they should’ve won by about 4 or 5. 

 

Pfft, like he thought Southampton had a cat in hells chance of getting anything. I had faith in the ex Luton manager to set his side up to cause City some problems.   Admittedly I wasn't expecting quite the performance they put in but then who was.

Yeah, I knew what he meant, ie they’d get stuffed. Just thought the performance was worthy of a mention. They even had a couple of excellent chances before their first goal. And they looked like extending their lead more than anything 2nd half

That Lyanco was a monster in midfield, thought Armstrong lead the line well also. Chased down a lot of lost causes and never gave their CBs a moments rest.

Not to get ahead of myself but a Man U supporting colleague just told me that they have the second leg of their Europa League tie against Barcelona on the Thursday before the League Cup final.

For anybody not old enough......Ruud Gulliit wanted sexy football when appointed as manager and somehow that photo appeared in The Sun

 

Hayden Evans: (Batty's agent)  

 

"It stinks. I am not happy about it at all. This was arranged by Newcastle United outside the normal commercial routes. It stinks. I have represented David since he was 17 and this is the type of cheap advertising we have kept him clear of. David is a private person and it is his image that concerns me, not the money. David has a contract with Puma and he does the promotional work approved through the club. David is not a kid, he is an established England international and he doesn't need this. I am not worried about him getting stick from his teammates because he can deal with that. I also don't blame Channel 5 at all. I would have had them on a lot tighter rein, but it is a funny advertisement. But there is no price that could have been worth paying for this advertisement.''

 

Gary Double: (Channel 5 spokesman)

 

"This advertisement is what our coverage is all about making an impact and grabbing the headlines. The idea was to capture Ruud Gullit's `sexy football' idea in a picture. Newcastle and David Batty gave their full approval for the advertisement to be used.'"
