Never really understood having a pop at him for getting teams relegated, he got Bournemouth promoted before they then got relegated, and both Southampton and QPR were comfortably bottom of the league when he took over, as were we.

I don't think he's ever been considered a top manager in anyone's eyes, he was certainly a good manager for us, in the premier league era, but he's mostly just popular for being a cocky wideboy type character who loves a chat and a soundbite.

He's pretty irrelevant to me now to be honest.


Comfortably bottom, my bottom.

It's not the cocky wodeboy or the chatting that people dislike, it's the utter bullshit, that insults their intelligence.

The scary one is Caulker. I thought he would go on and become one of our big regrets by being so good elsewhere. Now I'm like , "meh, maybe he was over performing for us"
QPR fans have said, he is doing the job of two players and want to see him and Onouha in defence, cause apparently he has been one of their highlights last season

I must admit I did enjoy Harry's rant. Fair play to him...and he used the old gem 'run about'.

He's obviously nowhere near 3 stone over weight. It's a nice little display from arry to give the media some thing to talk about other than how terrible his team are.

He's obviously not 3 stone overweight, or 'fat' even, but he is too big to play the role that he does. He needs to almost be nimble and light on his feet, he's clearly not that is he?

It's a typical Harryism.

He says he's 85kg. He's not particularly muscular, so at 5 ft 11, that makes around 10kg overweight in my view.

Sound familiar ?

"The training sessions aren't the same standard as Milan, or what I would expect under another manager," he said.

"They are not as intense, the players aren't as motivated. It is the same as we used to do at Tottenham years ago. When we played West Ham he told the players "you're not fit, you're not this, you're not that".

"I said 'but the problem is we don't have any plan in the game, we don't know how to press as a team’. It's not about just running around, you need to play with your brain.

"After West Ham he said all of the team is not fit. After Liverpool, because the performance was so good, he said everything was perfect. What, in one week, he changed the fitness? Impossible."


He might be carrying a couple of pounds excess, but his bullshitometre seems to be working

He's still in that prefab office with his feet up on the table and his head buried in the Racing Post.

Isn't the average age of Milan players usually around 50? So not sure there training sessions would be the most intense. Was that not where Balotelli has been as well? Neither of them exactly adverts for work rate
