Spanish Dave - What exactly does he do?!

[Stat Brother]

Hey Mr Stat, do you think there is anything in the hypothesis that we struggle with home midweek games for some reason. I believe that the following results all midweek at home, cost us automatic promotion:

Cardiff
Ipswich
Leeds
Millwall
Blackburn
Charlton
Leicester

I can't think we played well in any of these games, win any two of these and we're up. Not only the result but I remember most of these games being lamentable from ourselves. Are we tired in the evening?

Every team can look back at games x y and z that cost them promotion/safety, that's the nature of this division, this season.

We have had periods of time, this season, where we just haven't played any kind of attacking football.
It didn't matter when in the week it was, what matters is Gus became to reliant on not losing, than winning.
It's no surprise we got into the play-offs from the moment Gus said 'we now have to risk losing to win more'.

Whatever it is, he'll be doing it for someone else.

I miss Spanish Dave already.

Farewell Spanish Dave What-Does-He-Do thread - thanks for the memories. You put in a great shift, with some memorable bounces....

Regardless of what he did, he was one of my favourite players last season for non-footballing reasons alone.

Like Bruno, he clearly has alot of affection for the fans and loved the City,and unlike some of his colleagues, appeared to be enjoying himself last season.

RIP Spanish Dave

Free kick against the scum, never to be forgotten, one of soccer's nice guys. Good luck wherever he ends up, probably in Spain.

Until he signs for someone like Forest and scores against us...

Reading this very late, but have to comment on Calderon v Zaha. I like Calderon as a person but he is not a great right back. In the first leg, Bridge handled Zaha very well so Holloway put Zaha on Calderon in the second half and it almost worked. Calderon lacks pace, is often out of position and is beaten too easily by a winger attacking the right hand edge of the box. Admittedly, he has learned not to lunge in and give away penalties or free kicks (remember December 2010 game v Charlton at the Withdean ?). But for me, the most telling comment was from my boss (a United fan) whom I took to watch the away game at Peterborough in April - "good team but your right back is rubbish"

Is that a big hint?

I've just read this. Tell your boss he is a cock ;-)

He comes home to where he belongs, that's what.

Il flotte, il hésite, en deux mots, il est...Spanish Dave!

He will be assisting the f**k out of Ulloa next season, free kick from Spanish Dave, bang,Ulloa 1-0, this will happen many times next season.

Unbelieve.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]
