don't know why fans get in such a froth about it

not just ours but i've seen it a lot with fans of other clubs as well. ipswich fans almost exploded with indignation if they didn't get a half page write up and more than 5 mins on motd day when they were last in the prem. it all looked bit shouty "small man syndrome" to me.

i also feel the writer is wrong about holloway's approach in some respects, delivering meals to the training ground in tin foil trays from the back of a car is pretty amateur and those crazy gang type days are long gone. also, whingeing about the plane v the coach trip, surprised he didn't suggest they go off peak on the train.
