Moaning managers play blame game

IT WASN’T supposed to be an interesting week. The Cardiff Cup held few surprises, despite one giant disappointment in the loss of Sissoko.

Put it down to misfortune, especially as he almost lost an eye last season, but there’s something ungainly about him that makes you fear these ‘unlucky’ incidents will recur.

The second string limped to victory, with Bellamy’s season eerily echoing Crouch’s last year. Even penalties won’t go in and maybe he’s baited one linesman too many. If he gets a deflected goal against Wigan in December I will seriously freak out.
