Ermmmm

Do we think the constant ermmmms after every sentence are deliberately done, to allow thinking time? Makes listening to interviews really irritating 😃

Maybe it is thinking time, tbh, as long as he gets the on pitch stuff in order. I aint bothered. 😃

I've been interviewed once or twice on radio, and thought I'd come off fairly well ... articulated what I wanted to say and answered questions reasonably well.  But when I've heard them back, I've been mortified by the amount of 'umm's and 'well's that had subconsciously preceded many of my responses.  

I can't imagine that it's deliberate.  If it is, it's one helluva poor rhetorical device.

What was your specialist subject, Pook? 😃

Books and bookshops.  I managed bookshops for about 25 years.  

To be fair, my 'erms' weren't anywhere near Darren's levels, but considering the subject matter, any were too many ... and there definitely were a few.

Really torn on it all, want him to succeed as he HAS done a lot of good at the club... he is likeable, seems to attract players for example, I just feel he is quite limited tactically and not sure he has enough about him to get the job done. I think back to the play off games V Sunderland and all I saw was missed opportunity by not going for it. And as for our defending... well it just never improves whoever plays, and we don't have shit defenders (imo) so the problem lies with the coaching etc. But its the better the devil you know, who the fuck else would we get that bothers me

I carry mail now.  With amazon and digital content fooking up the book game, I've gone to the next best gig available for the physically-fit-yet-technologically-retarded:  US Postal Carrier.  

It's brill.  Continue to subsist on pizza and beer well into my 50s, yet burn it all off and still fit in my clothes.  Outside all day ... no one looking over your shoulder ... little kids think you're a superhero ("Hi, Mailman!!") ... what's not to love?  

 

... I do miss the books, though.

No, but plenty want to. 

I did have one take a chunk out of my finger.  F*cker was laying in wait ... didn't make a sound.  Bled all over its owner's mail, door, and property, though - that'll show 'em! 

Arabs and Jews ... Owls and Pigs ... dogs and Mailmen ... some folks just aren't gonna get along.

I think the problem was that Moore lost the Hat he uses for team selection , found it then lost it again for substitutions
