The Mail Bag

Food for thought!

From the BBC Website - oh, my, let's get light-hearted!

"Middlesbrough manager Gordon Strachan forced his team to leave behind £250 worth of pizza as they boarded the team bus to travel back from their 2-0 defeat by West Brom. The former Celtic boss was so annoyed by his team throwing away their faint play-off hopes that they had to go without their post-match food."

If you were David Moyes after some of our miserable performances at Hull, etc, what would you have done?

Personally, I would take the following actions:

1. Allow Yak to have only 1 post-match slice of pizza — and ban him from the 10 pre-match ones altogether!

< 2. Allow Osman to eat Yak's 10 pre-match slices to "beef" him up a bit;

3. Confiscate Bily's sleeping tablets and replace them with adrenaline tablets;

3. Order Tim Howard to eat less hot-cross buns thereby making him come out more positively for the real hot-crosses instead!

4. Provide Hibbo with medication that gives him a stronger dose of the attacks

5. Provide Nev with medication that makes him pass something more accurately than his wind!

Bon appetit...

What would you allow your boys to eat pre and post match?

It's a pity that Hibbert wasn't actually playing that game, but never mind though it was most deffinitely his fault.

After the fiasco at the KD stadium I would have made them all walk home!

I believe humble pie was on the menu after some of the early season matches.

The taliban & South American millitary juntas, used football stadiums for for public executions — they should've given the team talk at half time in the KC.

I watched the West Brom v Middlesbrough match on BBC TV. Personally if I was Gordon Strachan I would have taken the £250 worth of Pizza and left the team behind - it would have been a good swop. The match was between a team that had already clinched promotion (West Brom) and one that still had a chance of making the Play Offs ( ' Boro). But watching the game you would have been forgiven for thinking that Boro were the team that had clinched promotion - they showed little if any sense of urgency. Some of their team are coming up for contract renewal - I hope Moyes isn't thinking of making any " bargain" siginings from Boro. They looked a very poor team, I am amazed they were still in with a chance of promotion.
