The whole things stinks the place out -

Thought the selection of OJ at Southampton was a complete scandal.

When one of the Evening News City View Idiots wrote a piece about the Troy Archibald Double-Barrell, a month of so ago, I mailed him about the story and said I would have a great deal more time for his (very poor imo, but I didn't mention my opinion) journalism if he had raised the question as to why OJ Koroma appeared at Southampton. No reply of course.

I did mention it here briefly in the PinkUn a while ago as well here : -

And on a related point I did speak to Neil Doncaster about Kieran Gibbs' selection after the Hull game last season and mentioned that I heard that Arsenal scouts had been at the game to watch, and he seemed very taken aback that I knew. I expressed my view to him about the concern I had about the selection as Gibbs was nowhere near ready to play in the Championship, especially against a big physical side such as Hull.

I also raised the point that it was easy for the Arsenal Management Team to get to the game as it was midweek (and there was no Chumps League that night) and Gibbs? initial loan spell was coming to an end or nearing the first month when he could be recalled and it wouldn?t look good for Glenn and his Prem friends if Gibbs had been sent back not having played.

Can?t recall Doncaster?s exact reply but it was Glenn?s decision etc etc.

The whole thing stinks though. Really stinks.
