It's only Trunk and Flav I mix up sometimes, though I know it's normally Flav because he's the mouthy one or the one moaning about Harry :harryagh:

Cracking pod as usual lads. Not gonna lie, got my hair bleached blonde due to Gazza getting it done... 
I responded to the call of sending in something from WBA match. I recorded about 28 secs of the final whistle and a song. Sent it in to the email. x
Thanks mate, I got badly shitfaced and didn't record as much as I'd have liked!
I left for a half time drink 5 mins before whistle. Yet took 10 mins to get a beer, surprised anyone got shitfaced there. Shit ground.
Mate of mine left early and got us all drinks, I was already about 7 pints deep before kick-off.
:beer: :bae:
Gutted I didn't record anything, only listened to the Pod today.
How can one little bar serve that many people?! Piss take. Wish I stayed in Birmingham longer!

I wen't there last year and completely forgot the size and made the same mistake. Got there 20 mins before ko, just took my seat and waited till half time.
Just got round to listening.
On redknapp there is a point Flav makes which is entirely valid but not lingered on.
A manager should never be beyond criticism, whether it is redknapp, fergie, hughton, martinez. As much as I don't believe in the 'one game mentality' when talking about tenure of managers, it is the persistent pressure of performance which is needed.
Accountability is the key, otherwise you end up with a 'Wenger type' relationship where there is a self-fulfilling prophecy, and ultimately no-one can challenge the manager when changes need to be made when the face of perceived failure.
I would hate for us to be similar to the goons in any way whatsoever, we are better than that.
Support the team, support the manager, but only if he performs. Performance is everything.
Gotta go and google 'windy' and 'maddie' as I believe there is still a reward pending........

Very entertaining this week. Sibs's bit at the end was great way to end the show. It makes me want to blow a vu... vuza... vufz... plastic trumpet.
any away game people attend, feel free to record shit and submit. I put it in the OP of the WBA thread, probably should amended the thread title to make it clearer.
I managed to bring myself to listen to what I managed to record, fucking hell! I was ruined! :mong:

Hi all, just found this podcast last week and have been listening back to recent episodes and really enjoying it. Great banter and proper informed football chat. Really appreciate the updates on the Spurs youths and reserves, it's pretty hard to get much news on that side of the club. Cheers!
Just wanted to make a couple of points regarding the comments about Redknapp. One common criticism is that he doesn't have a clue about tactics, for one I think that's exaggerated, he's not stupid and has obviously learned a thing or 2 during his long time in football. But I also believe that the importance of a tactical mastermind as manager is also exaggerated. I think even the most blinkered Man Utd fan would agree that Ferguson is no tactical mastermind, yet that hasn't stopped him being one of the greatest managers of all time. I concede that at the very highest level, especially in Europe it can be a problem not being more tactically aware.
I think Redknapp is a good judge of player and once he's got the players he rates and trusts*, he keeps it simple and let's them play football, trusting their footballing talents. This freedom gives the players confidence, makes it much more likely they'll enjoy their football, and also makes it exciting for us fans. He almost always seems to start games with this attitude, the only tactical tinkering coming in the middle of games. The Milan tie at home last year was one of the few games where he made a few tactical changes before the game but I can't remember whether that was because some players were out or not, anyway, it's a rarity.
2 qoutes to back me up
"Football is a simple game made complicated by those who should know better" Bill Shankly
"Redknapp has a very, very good knowledge of the game".... and is "a good judge of a footballer and 80-90 per cent of successful management is about getting the right players in the club. You don't see him complicating it with big tactics or formations" Johnny Giles
*however, if he doesn't trust a player, that player's pretty much fucked
