Thoughts on today

I love putting one over Neil Warnock and Sheffield United, who doesn?t? I have respect for Neil Warnock, or ?Colin? as some people affectionately know him, but I cannot help but share the general consensus held by others towards to the man. I admire Warnock?s passion, I admire the way he wears his heart on his sleeve ? and I always laugh when his teams lose because he cannot take losing, he is a sore loser, perhaps he takes lessons from Jose Mourinho or they were both separated at birth.

Sheffield United took the lead following an uneventful opening 16 minutes from the hosts, the passionate Warnock starts to smile and presents his usual, casual touchline demeanour. All is well for the Sheffield United boss. However, things, once again, do not go his way. Leon McKenzie equalises, cue the appearance of cracks in Warnock?s broad smile, he?s finally noticing that he once again faces the reality of coming away from Carrow Road with nothing and having to put up with humiliation of being beaten by a former Sheffield Wednesday player and legend managing the opposing club. Life is tough for Warnock, perhaps he should become a referee.

Norwich go 2 ? 1 up following some dodgy defending, the expression on Neil Warnock?s face is one of discontent and already the cracks are appearing in his smile, he obviously left his chill pills in the dressing room. Whilst rummaging through the pockets of his Sheffield United tracksuit trying to locate a book called ?Charm for dummies?, Warnock inadvertently goes up to the forth official offering him his glasses. Perhaps if Neil was wearing his glasses, he might have located his chill pills and his book on touchline etiquette.

Norwich City turn up the heat for the remainder of the second half and a heavily-perspiring Warnock attempts to stay focussed, Sheffield United show glimmers of hope and on a few occasions come desperately close. However, this does little to fill the ever-widening cracks in Warnock?s smile which would give the Grand Canyon a run for it?s money in terms of size. Had Norwich City have scored the third goal, which was ruled out because it was offside, Warnock would have melted like an ice cream on a hot summers day.

The final whistle goes Warnock, who has forgotten everything he learnt at charm school, gives the two-fingered solute to the manager of the opposing team. Apparently, according to an interview with BBC Radio Sheffield, Nigel Worthington is extremely arrogant, didn?t acknowledge Warnock?s earlier attempts to show a form of politeness and even lamented Worthington?s behaviour at Brammall Lane on Boxing Day. Nothing wrong with Worthington?s behaviour at Brammall Lane on Boxing Day, it was what to be expected of someone who had made over 300 appearances for the club who are located on the opposite side of the steel city. What exactly is wrong with saying there is nothing better than beating Sheffield United at Brammall Lane?

Warnock, desperately low on Prozac cannot think of anything this week to say about the referee, all he can to do is praise a lethargic performance and lambaste the opposing manager. What a terrible, terrible loser.

Chin up Colin, Leeds are only 5 points behind you.
