[Albion] Is Ian Wright trying to sabotage us?

[Springal]

Is that palace swine Ian Wright trying to sabotage us? We've all seen the 5Live video where he is bigging up Lewis Dunk, England call up etc...

Then he was on the Sky Sports PL Debate program last night with Darren Bent and they were talking about Everton and Leicester jobs. Ian Wright then says he can't believe Chris Hughton never gets linked to these jobs, has always done well with very little and can't understand why his name is never mentioned. (I got the feeling there might have been a slight 'race' tone going on but he never said it.)

Then the next segment was Q&A from Twitter and someone asked him about Lewis Dunk and how good he could be.. Wright says if he got into the England camp he would realise he is as good as any centre back we have, only a matter of time before he gets caps etc...... and may even have been a mention about Liverpool CB 'crisis'...

No.

It seems to be a daily occurrence that Wright is bigging something up about us.

Even gave the supports a compliment when on MOTD the other week.

He could be trying to undermine Parish, not that Parish isn't doing a bang up job himself, in order to make way for his old mate Tony Adams.

Well atleast he isn't Merson or Crooks who writes us off with no alaysis deeper that 'they got promoted and havent spent hundreds of millions'.

Ha ha, I don't think he is stating anything we don't already know.

Ian Wright was an underdog and didn't get into the professional game until he was 22, he wasn't even playing semi-professional before that! I think he's always loved an underdog story, and we surely fill that bill and then some. A lot of the pundits are seeing our no nonsense approach to the game, setting up to be organised and effective, and in an age of various systems, tippy tappy, high press, 3 at the back etc. etc. we are a refreshing good old fashioned, hard working honest team. We've seen it for a while of course, but taking a step back, you can see why a lot of the old pros are taking to us. I'm loving this season a lot more than I imagined so far, I feel far less daunted that I was in the summer.

It was only a few weeks ago that Wright said Dunk couldn't pass that well.....so the answer is no

Hang on a minute – loads of people on here are complaining because people are talking us DOWN. Now someone comes along and gives credit where it's due – Houghton IS underrated and Dunk IS going to play for England one day – and a load more people are upset?

 

[Lincoln Imp]

Remember, if we hadn't rejected him Ian Wright would have been an Albion legend.

It's almost as if we're all w*****s.

Blimey how did that escape 'google'?
I'm going to do it myself, just in case.

 

[Machiavelli]

I like Ian Wright. He's enthusiastic and infectious, and is pretty astute in his analysis.

Definitely this.Worth ten Girth Crooks.

Yes of course he is the rejection from the Albion runs deep with him.

Agreed. What's not to like about us.

 

[Triggaaar]

Houghton IS underrated

Didn't Roy Keane get rejected during the same period over something to do with paying for his flight for a trial?

We must've been good in those days...

All these pundits are just starting to get to know our players. They haven’t got a clue about anything outside the premier league.
