I'd also point out that, since the thai stuff picked up, what I have seen on the pitch has not resembled what I have heard in the commentary.
Of course, football is about opinions and Young is more qualified than I on discussing the hustle and bustle of professional football. No denying that. So maybe I'm the ****?
As you know, I think Yakubu was absolutely superb every time I watched him and his stat line supported my opinion. If I had based it on the radio, I wouldn't have that view. How he couldn't see Yak for what he was I found bizarre and driven by forces beyond what he saw on the pitch.
Similarly, it's all well and good having a soft spot for Steve Howard and all his old-school trappings...but surely it's plainly obvious the game has passed him by?
Oh well.
