kevin marc missing
Kevin Gallen has been missing and Marc Nygaard has been in and out of the side.
brilliant cure damaged fuse short slightly sort
He's always had a short fuse and I was going to try and cure him. He's slightly damaged goods, but I think he could be brilliant if I sort him out.
ahead few future gel great last stop
He's been my rock, he's been my gel for the last few years. He's got a great future ahead of him, but what he's got to do is stop speculation getting to him.
couple next seeing
He's come to our notice. I will be seeing him in the next couple of days.
club finance good lad looks neat socks state tidy whether worked
He looks a very good player. The lad was neat and tidy and worked his socks off. Now I've got to think about the state of my club and whether we've got the finance and what we can do.
absence depth easiest hurt lack meant monday scrub strength work
Their absence meant I had to scrub out all the work we had done - on the day of the game. So Monday wasn't the easiest day of my life. Our lack of strength in depth hurt us.
ball bet burned eyebrows reckon travelling
I reckon the ball was travelling at 400mph, and I bet it burned the keeper's eyebrows off.
feeling lose nice twice
If you lose at home, twice in a row, it's not a nice feeling and we're not used to that.
daughter men shopping
I've got four women in my house - my wife and my three daughters - and I tell you what, it's pretty scary. I keep my head down and if we're out shopping I try and look in a man's shop while they make their minds up.
kings feels lear
I feel like I've been on EastEnders all my life and now I'm playing King Lear.
mating badgers ifs
I couldn't be more chuffed if I were a badger at the start of the mating season!
journey car cows
I feel like a steaming cow-pat - or a car that's clocked up 400,000 miles in one journey.
football thinking eight
You never count your chickens before they hatch. I used to keep parakeets and I never counted every egg thinking I would get all eight birds. You just hoped they came out of the nest box looking all right. I'm like a swan at the moment. I look fine on top of the water but under the water my little legs are going mad.
football vintage league
Paul Furlong is my vintage Rolls Royce and he cost me nothing. We polish him, look after him, and I have him fine tuned by my mechanics. We take good care of him because we have to drive him every day, not just save him for weddings.
