Just in case anybody needed extra motivation to go out and prove a point in Donetsk on Thursday, along come the lovely people at Match of the Day 2 to fire up the Fulham boys.
Slaven Bilic (lauded as a masterful coach despite failing to take Croatia to the World Cup): ‘Shakhtar are a much better team than Fulham’.
Alan Hansen (makes a living out of slaughtering defenders but has chosen comfy sofas instead of dugouts): ‘I can’t see Bobby Zamora as an international player’.
I think that’s Roy’s team talk sorted. I’d love to see Bobby cup his ear in Hansen’s direction one of these days.
What annoys me about most pundits is that every thing is so black and white for them. I think you’re right, Roy ought to play the video back to the team before we play Shakthar. Go and prove these idiots wrong.

Yes they were for 35-40 mins of the first half, they cetainly were not in the second half, we took the game to them and were a match for them. God I hope we do them next Thursday. COYW!!!!!!
I think Bilic really showed up Hansen for what he is: an armchair fan. Bilic’s comments about wanting to manage his country and it being about pride had hansen squirming in his seat, which I enjoyed.
The funny thing is that Bilic was more insightful than most of the pundits usually found on MOTD (heres looking at you Shearer) and yet did not have complete master over the english language.
