[Theatre of Trees]

Anyone else entertained by his antics?

Particularly enjoyed it when he exaggerated banging his head against the side of the dugout and the one when he ran around the back of the dugout, bent down and flicked a couple of V signs at the ref before straightening up and walking nonchalantly around to the front again.

 

[Easy 10]

Not sure I'd want an Albion manager playing silly buggers with the crowd like that durng a game. All quite amusing I suppose, but not particularly professional and actually mildly embarrassing. A bit like an Ian Holloway press conference.

I would love it if he was our boss, might tell Knight and Perry a few truths.

 

[Rookie]

quality bloke and manager, got shafted at Leicester and good to see him back, shame he not ours personally

 

[Gritt23]

Yeah it was funny, but it did get to the point where he was more occupied with these "entertaining antics" than getting his teams tactics right.

I can see how people love him or hate him.

Yeah, MA controlled himself and concentrated on tactics & substitutions.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

It was genuine and quite amusing, then it became fake and a little uncomfertable watching him trying to entertain the crowd.

 

[SNOOBS]

I don't think he meant it at first, then started acting too the crowd a bit too much. I thought it was more amusing when Savage shouted to him f*** OFF YA' DICKHEAD

 

[Motogull]

I like him, he's a proper character unlike Pardew for example.

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

Was funny to begin with, but became horribly cringeworthy

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Exactement.

Initially amusing, but then turned a bit "Look at me everyone, I'm so WACKY".

It wasn't as though most of the decisions he disagreed with were remotely controversial (though I can't be the only one who held my breath when they had that penalty shout in the second half).

[sureyyathegodofthephonein]

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

Hello? What did he do?

 

[Keeping The Dream Alive.]

Hello? What did he do?

Acted like a complete cock, a bit like the cock Seagull Tim was reading about in this picture, incidentally, Danny.

Why is Seagull Tim orange?

 

[Keeping The Dream Alive.]

Fake tan

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

He looks like a white Wes Brown.

Is he going for a part in the Simpsons?
