trash talking
Where do these people get this stuff? This is
Dan Roebuck in the Guardian:
"Dowie has lost the support of fans, who question his tactics and have been less than impressed with his signings, and he will be under even more pressure if his team doesn't rise from the foot of the Premiership soon. His side must travel to Chesterfield in just under two weeks, where the home team has already knocked out Manchester City and West Ham. And whereas both Pearce and Pardew have so far survived defeat by the Spireites, you feel Dowie might not be so lucky."Meanwhile, back in the real world,
"Iain is a workaholic. He's the first person here in the morning and usually the last to go at night. He needed a break." Les Reed on Dowie after he took a day off yesterday. Reed's
support of Dowie in the media during the last few days has given an insight into how the coaching team operates behind the scenes, something we haven't visibly seen since the announcement on May 30th.
Whatever Dowie's fate, and I for one am still 100% behind him, we will never be able to knock his passion, application and workrate.
Tomorrow's game is live on television here at the more respectable time of 11.15am. I have a couple of mates going to St James', and I will be there in spirit.
