After Saturday's Match i decided to watch Mike Basset England Manager on Sunday morning , i must admit i cheered me up a bit .

Cracking film.

Are we going to get a Kenny v McCarthy debate like the Clough v Revie one?

Watching the Damned Utd about Clough's 40 days in charge of Leeds.

I think Stephen Kenny could be the international version.

''You can throw all your qualifications and all your 3rd places in qualifying groups into the biggest f**king dustbin you can find because you did it all by hoofing''

A rare occasion where the film was much better than the book. Sheen was brilliant in it and made it seem in some way come ro life whereas the book just seemed outright offensive to many of those involved.

Interviewer: What's your reaction to being sacked?

SK: Shock initially having myself sat next here to him. But to answer your question 6 months is hardly a long time is it?

Interviewer: And what's your take on Stephen's sacking?

MM: Well he didn't make it easy on himself did he?

SK: How did I do that Mick?

MM:All those accusations about how my players just hoof it

SK: They did hoof it Mick

MM: That's not true. The last 2 years we were top of the charts for entertaining football

SK: And you also topped all the long ball statistics

Interviewer: I sense this is a personal battle

SK: Well we are very different people Mick and I,eh, we have different styles in football and in life. I'm a warm man, an idealist, I do believe in fairies. But having said that I want to be like me. Mick is slightly different. There's a hardness to him. He's a cold person (interrupted)

MM: You don't know me

SK: That lack of warmth permeated the team when I arrived. One of the players asked me what did I want to achieve. Mick finished 3rd. I told him I wanted to do finish 3rd but I wanted to do it better. You can understand that?

MM: You cant finish 3rd better than what I did
