I don't think he's a very good pundit or co-commentator, or particularly funny, but I do like his dismissive and half-interested style. He doesn't take the game too seriously and it's a welcome antidote to the sky hype that has spread through football and takes itself far to seriously.

Stephen Warnock saying some of the squad players were left out of bus parade after Istanbul. Also that his name was on the board for the squad before he was called to be told it was a mistake.
Mentions that he was close to a return under Kenny but reckons houllier and his again ****ed it up for him.
For a while at Villa, I remember he was a decent left back. Hard to argue he was worse than Dossena, Insua etc.Y.N.W.A!!!!!!

If his words were accurate then it's a pretty ****ty way him and Mellor, Pongolle etc were treated. Dunno who was responsible for it but it's seriously crappy either way. Don't think that would have happened in Kiev if we'd won, Klopp would go nuts.Originally posted by Corndog View PostStephen Warnock saying some of the squad players were left out of bus parade after Istanbul.

Just read the article.Originally posted by Chris View PostIf his words were accurate then it's a pretty ****ty way him and Mellor, Pongolle etc were treated.

It is unfortunate for sure, but must be tricky to ensure everyones needs are catered for when everyone is celebrating. They have suffered from being not high enough up the pecking order for anyone to really notice they are missing. Nobody looked at that bus and thought, where are Pongo, Stevie W and Tony Le Tallec?
Collateral damage.Modifying post.

Well Mellor and his lovely cushioned header were crucial in our CL campaign that year, so was Le Tallec at Juve. And even if they weren't it's still very ****ty, hope it's not true, although it's fair to say a lot of things have changed in those 13 years
edit: Wait I thought Le Tallec scored at Juve, but he didn't, my bad

Ended up in a bunch of French league B teams, went to Romania, now in the 2nd division in the US. Amazing really.Originally posted by frank the tank View PostLe Tallac played very well that night though. I remember thinking "perhaps this is the start of things for him?"
Where the **** did he end up?Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’

I wouldn't be surprised if it is true, wasn't theresomethng about the none squad members on the night not getting medals straight away? I believe it was sorted out later but again not good from the club. Hopefully thngs are alot better these days.Originally posted by Fuzzy View PostWell Mellor and his lovely cushioned header were crucial in our CL campaign that year, so was Le Tallec at Juve.

The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.
