Yes, those things were much worse

But guess what? They weren't things that Grant did. As I said, the substitution is the only thing WHICH GRANT HAS DONE which really pissed me off so far. I've put it in capitals this time for the hard of understanding.

        i'm using the 90 minutes per match timeframe (n/m) (NCFC) - blindasabat, Mar 8, 12:44:56

        My mistake then (NCFC) - CheatingcuntBywater, Mar 8, 13:04:20
        
        Earnie was bought to score goals (which he's done in spades) (NCFC) - blindasabat, Mar 8, 13:22:00
        
        Circular argument (NCFC) - CheatingcuntBywater, Mar 8, 13:45:59

        Earnshaw wasn't what we needed, granted ... (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Mar 8, 12:18:54
        
        Will anyone pay big for Earnie in the summer after this injury? (NCFC) - Old Git, Mar 8, 12:27:00

        Won't happen though (NCFC) - CheatingcuntBywater, Mar 8, 12:18:18
        
        Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if a big team offered us 10m for martin (NCFC) - pants, Mar 8, 12:20:45
        
        £10m is fantasy (NCFC) - Old Git, Mar 8, 12:24:38
        
        Is it? (NCFC) - CheatingcuntBywater, Mar 8, 12:27:47
        
        That's the thing isn't it (NCFC) - pants, Mar 8, 12:29:04
        
        If martin ended the season on 10+ goals (NCFC) - pants, Mar 8, 12:25:51
        
        hopefully he'll have the sense that stay (NCFC) - megson, Mar 8, 12:38:30
        
        Bear in mind Aston Villa just paid £9.5m for Ashley Young ... (n/m) (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Mar 8, 12:25:21
        
        oh yeah, and him :s (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Mar 8, 12:26:38
        
        That's a tricky one (NCFC) - CheatingcuntBywater, Mar 8, 12:22:17
        
        Grant substituted Croft for the crime of a backheel against a non-league team (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Mar 8, 12:13:52
        
        substitution was dumb (NCFC) - megson, Mar 8, 12:45:45
        
        That substitution is the only thing Grant has done which REALLY pissed me off (NCFC) - Old Git, Mar 8, 12:22:36
        
        Hmmmmmmmmm (NCFC) - CheatingcuntBywater, Mar 8, 12:25:39
        
        Yes, those things were much worse (NCFC) - Old Git, Mar 8, 12:28:57
        
        Calm down dear (NCFC) - CheatingcuntBywater, Mar 8, 12:38:38
        
        That must make him unique (n/m) (NCFC) - Old Git, Mar 8, 12:40:09
        
        No. Plenty of people don't piss me off (NCFC) - CheatingcuntBywater, Mar 8, 12:41:18
        
        I can ignore quotes though, instead of piling them up deciding he can't manage (NCFC) - pants, Mar 8, 12:19:47
        
        Surely the quotes are indicative of his management philosophy and intentions? (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Mar 8, 12:22:13
        
        See? (NCFC) - Old Git, Mar 8, 12:25:09
        
        Seems a bit blithe (NCFC) - CheatingcuntBywater, Mar 8, 12:23:34
        
        Well, if you can find me a quote from Grant saying he wants flowing, entertaining football (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Mar 8, 12:24:57
        
        I think he wants winning football (NCFC) - CheatingcuntBywater, Mar 8, 12:29:13
        
        That's fair enough. (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Mar 8, 12:31:20
