Dean Watch.

[Deutsch Wolf]

Good old Facebook, it gives me regular reminders of the Deano era.

Four years to the day since this gem:

"If you have no personal pride and you don’t care how you play on a Saturday, you will stop and have a cheeseburger and chips when you feel like one.

"But if you’ve got pride that you won’t play well if you eat it, you don’t eat it."

Hard to believe our players weren't inspired by such rousing words. One day later we capitulated at home to Cardiff thanks to the wankspangle being too bollockless to make a decision between Johnson, Gorkss and Batth to play at centre half, so picked the lot, effectively chucked the game (despite already being on a winless 10 game run) and made Batth the scapegoat, hauling him off at HT and not picking him again all season.

This is a lovely snapshot of us in Feb 2013.

Ikeme not claiming a ball five yards out, Gorkss with his arm around Bellamy like he's just had eight pints and he's telling No Neck that he's "his best mate ever", Jack Robinson flouncing about and O'Hara doing nothing of value while Frazier Campbell is totally unmarked and scores.

Happy days.

He was culpable for this too

The Molineux chief fielded an unfamiliar 3-5-1-1 formation in the first half, the first time Wolves had started with three central defenders since November 2009 when they lost 4-0 at Chelsea, and handed Matt Doherty his Wolves full league debut at right wing- back

Did Mick give Doherty his debut away at Liverpool in the Premier League?

Not sure tbh. That was copied from the E&S.

 

[Tony Towner]

His debut was away to Doncaster in the FA Cup. I had the pleasure of witnessing it.

You are correct. Having searched it would appear that it was his League Debut at Liverpool.

Simon Jordan who has gone up in my estimation to John Solako on Twitter:

"John you been hanging around with #deansaunders because the #driveolmeter is red lining there's only so much I can take"

Not sure why TalkSPORT employ him. He isn't even any good at inviting controversy, people just think he's stupid. Which he is.

 

[Lupo]

On Saturday he said he would rest aguero if he was city manager. Then on Sunday on talksport he said you shouldnt be resting the best players for cup games...
Verdict = he talks shit

I heard this call last night, agreed with him, Saunders talks shit.

Gave the old "I've managed" and "been in the game all my life" despite being one of the biggest jokes ever in football management

 

[Trips]

I've always hated that argument. Because I've played football at a higher level I am more knowledgeable about the game. Utter crap. Saunders is the perfect example of this, along with Robbie Savage

Me too mate. Hear a lot of it on there too. They think unless you've played to a professional level, you're opinion carries less weight.

Ray Wilkins had a very similar run in last year with a journalist on there

 

[Jack Regan]

Ray Houghton's catchphrase used to be "you've never played the game" whenever a caller disagreed with him.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

This is from a man who played a badly injured Sako in the final two games of a doomed season in a vain attempt to save his own skin, because "if he gets injured again he's got all summer to get over it".

I fucking hate the man. Hate is a strong word, but I hate him.

You hide it so well

Joey Barton likes to do it too I noticed when he has done radio phone ins. It carries no weight at all. Give me, say, Jonathan Wilson over any of the joker ex-pros they usually have.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Wilson, Vickery, Auclair and Honigstein or Saunders, Savage, Sutton and Ince? Hmmm, let me think.

Not to tar all ex-pros with the same brush of course, some have put the effort in and are very good. Danny Higginbotham in particular always impresses me.

 

[YoungWolf]

Exactly. It's why I listen to podcasts (Guardian one is good apart from Glendenning, who hasn't been on it recently) and haven't listened to live football radio in ages. Just completely different level of conversation.

I don't miss listening to Savage shout over a caller at all, anyway. Painful!

 

[AndyWolves]

I actually like Savage on 606, he deals with numptys pretty well. I hated him as a player but like him as a pundit. I listen to the Flintoff, savage and ping pong guy podcast too which is very good

Yeah that one is pretty good. Although I find it hard to like Syed at the moment after his part in reporting the Aluko saga.

He does come across as a bit arrogant and I get the feeling savage and Flintoff have a WhatsApp groups that he's not in.

Flintoff's stories are legandary!
