I started on Shrove Tuesday and then by Ash Wednesday something had happened and I'd had a bottle of beer.

It's getting harder and harder to suggest that we're going to get out of this. It's becoming increasingly more difficult.
addition good number player positions
Rory can play in a number of positions and it's always good to have that versatility. He's an experienced player and he'll be a good addition to our squad.
enjoyed eventually few last minute move single tough
It's been tough here these last few months, but it's been brilliant. I've enjoyed every single minute of it. It's been a pleasure. I've been very fortunate. As always, I've done my best. I can't do any more and I'll move on and eventually do something else.
experience gone might players problem season
We have lacked experience this season but if we had gone out and got experienced players on big salaries, we might have had a real problem if we had gone down.

It wasn't a monkey on my back, it was Planet of the Apes.

No regrets, none at all. My only regret is that we went out on penalties. That's my only regret but no, no regrets.

I had a nice time over Christmas. I watched EastEnders - blimey, that makes my job look easy!

Inter have bought the finished article and there's no doubt he can keep improving.

At the moment we've only got 16 first-team players and my initials stand for Mick McCarthy, not Merlin the Magician (the new Wolves manager gets the excuses in early!)

We won't take a risk with Julio. We just want to make sure he's absolutely right when he does return.
beaten build flying game good home maybe might momentum performance points stopping struggling
The only way we can build any momentum is by stopping getting beaten and we've done that. I know it was a home game and everyone will say it was a game we should win. Maybe had we been on 16 or 17 points and flying we might have done but we're struggling like hell. That was a really good performance and a good draw.
