And aside from all that, i'd love a journalist to grow some balls and ask Colin something along the lines of:
"So Colin, imagine your side are 15th with 2 games to go and safe, and also imagine (this will take some serious imagination, but try) that you're also in the FA Cup final in 20 days time - would you pick your strongest side for those last 2 league games?"
Every single manager with a brain cell would field a weakened side and save their top players for an FA Cup Final (let alone a European Cup final, which is what we had). FFS, Colin even rested players for his side's trip to Old Trafford that season, and that wasnt even with a big cup tie coming up. He simply just waved the white flag and threw the game because he didnt hold out any hope of getting anything from it.
The ****.
