Are you surprised? PED are no doubt being used as well. These are incredibly competitive people that have to win. They like anyone else will do whatever it takes to win.
It was 0-0 v Watford. We were looking for a goal to win it and therefore that substitution made sense at the time. Murphy today was the right choice. If we were one down or it had been 0-0. We'd probably have seen Izquierdo on.
Brown is the player we need fit and playing well. It will keep Gross on his game and also mean that Gross can play central midfield if needed. An option we really need with Kayal and Sidwell out for a longer period.
Would you swap it for Rodney and the decades of "you plonker" comments I have had or "Rodney Marsh, wasn't he a footballer or Cricketer?" Believe me, Nigel sounds pretty decent.
3 guys in front of me shout it every game. It always makes me laugh. They have to put up with my shouting and clapping. I'm told I have a "loud clap"...luckily for them winter is coming and i'll be wearing gloves.
As much as I think Fury is a total tool. Fury comes from a fighting family and has been taught to fight from the age of 5. Ferdinand has probably done some boxercise classes at the gym. To suggest any fit man at 16st/17st could be undisputed heavyweight champion of the world is laughable.
