| MARY POPPINS Look, sorry Newcy fans, but legend on the field and all that does not a good pundit make. He brings nothing whatsoever to the pundit’s chair other than his celebrity. And he’s got a monotone drone thrown in for bad measure. He’ll fit right in on MOTD for sure. BORO vs CHARLTON – MOTD 12/04/06 On who the key players were likely to be... Bent up front. I think he’s had a erm magnificent year errrmm the pressure is on him again to perform erm because a lot of the hopes for Charlton lie on his shoulders but Hasselbank Hasselbank and err and Viduka up front for for Middlesborough pla will will play a key part for them. I’m a big fan of of Mark Viduka as well and when he plays he plays really really well and when he fancies ing when he’s up for it there’s nothing better than ‘im. Eds note: Nothing of interest there and a good cliché count – just the job. ON BORO’s ACADEMY I don’t wanna throw facts at you but I think they’ve had twelve or thirteen this season come up from the academy play in their first team. There’s not many teams will will be able to rival that, tell ya. Hanson: I thought that was a fact? All: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Stubbsy: More to the point you’ve been doing homework and research. You’ve got a few games to play before you retire and ja join the television industry. Shearer: Only five Stubbsy: You’re doing facts! Ed’s note: Love these exchanges. HALFTIME ANALYSIS - ON BORO LOOKING SHAKEY They were they and Rommedall first in got a ball in down the right hand side, got a ball in down the left hand side and and Bent missed two great chances. If you’re a centre forward in this game you’re loving it because Hasselbank, Viduka, Bartlett and Bent they’ve all had good chances and all should’ve scored. Ed’s note: Again, sorry Magpies but there ain’t no disguising it. Great player in his day, but he’s a bore on the box. And the longer he’s chuntering on, the faster his stock will fall. Do you really want that? |
