Letter: Tripe and twaddle from present-day Baggies twerps ; WEST BROMWICH ALBION

Holmes, Tony

2007

Overview

Perry is quoted as saying something about Derby not being good enough to stay up - well, if he 'd been a little better, he might have prevented the cross that led to their goal, so the question wouldn't have arisen; but that's a lot to ask of someone so immobile that several pigeons give his head as their home address. Oh, and the final straw. Robinson, again, a couple of times in the season, apparently saying we've got to be more 'professional'. How many needless bookings and send-offs came his way? I suggest not paying people if they get suspended for stupidity. How many goals were scored because he was caught out of position, or just gawping while a simple one-two was played round him? And he thinks he's a hard man too, which is just laughable. Mowbray and Venus built an over-achieving side at Hibs without spending billions. Let's hope they can do it again. Roy Keane got Sunderland up without buying 'superstars' so it can be done.
