First two mins I thought here we go, Man U tv , but it turned out ok with our very own YBR on the couch , sounding hoarse but looking very relaxed. When McCoist asked Chris the Newcastle fan his views and he replied that at times we looked very fluent but the fluency was not consistent enough. Passed over to Bobby he brought the house down when he replied `Problem being is there are 11 other players on the field attempting to stop us being fluent`. His comparision between Beckham and Figo was IMHO spot on,explaining the edge that Figo has to take a man out on a dribble, where Becks feints, makes space to get in a cross, I remember discussing this with LR last year and he sort of agreed. With ref to Arsenal game , as already noted Bobby will be playing 4-4-4 (LOL). then made his one gaffe, team had flown down by boat, calling in at Grimsby for fish and chips. I had the vibes that no-one wanted to name Toon as genuine contenders and Bobby was quite happy with that line of thought. Gave an indication that Dyer was on from the start , can play anywhere but center midfield is preserved. Spoke about Bernard, and how the crowd loved him? and was at loss to understand why Speed was in the outside right position when he headed in, (now that is auld fashioned terminolgy). All in all a nice light hearted fun programme tonite marred only when the Man U fan on the parliment gave the Chelsea fan travel brochures for Europe, childish. Reason for above explanation is that distant ex-pats may not have seen and I have nowt else to dee.

I agree Buff, YBR was quite sharp and amusing. I also thought that Man U fan was typically annoying. Ive seen him before on there after we beat them this season and rather than just accept it, he had something childish and sarcastic to say about that.
