Bitter Di Matteo

Wed Feb 17, 2010 3:43 pm

Jay Bothroyd was very clever in moving in front of our player to convince the referee that it was a penalty but on a positive note we have no more injuries to report.


That is what BBC quoted Roberto Di Matteo as saying. I hate bitter managers like Di Matteo, Gary Johnson and Neil Warnock. I love the way Di Matteo phrased it as well. Alternatively he could have said 'Bothroyd got in front of my defender and my defender realised this was a problem so brought him down'. It was a penalty, I could see that from the Canton end, shame Di Matteo can't admit it. I've always been a fan of his but hope he doesn't go down the Neil Warnock 'me against the world' route because it's quite tiring to hear.

The fact he's also adamant they deserved to win the game is a bit of a piss take. Yeah, they had their fair share of chances but I feel we had the better chances.

Sousa is the same-got that jack ("It's not fair, we never have any luck. We deserve to win every game.") mentality.

Also i cant stand Gordon Strachan or Warnock.

For once it was a definate penalty, not usually the case with Jay though!
