Just listened to Ben smith on radio 5 from yesterday. Mentioned Shrewsbury a bit - mostly about joe hart and Dave Edwards but also about turning up to training hungover after only being there for a few days! Good to see he's getting a good bit of publicity for the book

Tapatalk app seems to require an account for them but then I have two seperate log ons for b&a. Pro boards app seems to come and go, but seems to be working for the mo so I'll stick with that until it crashes again

Ben Smith made Nathan Elder look like a beacon of physical fitness.

The people who praise Jimmy Quinn for his time as our manager should read this book. What he writes sums up my feelings at the time that we under performed big time due to how we were managed....or not.

I know where you are coming from but by hook or crook he did not under achieve cos he got us promoted. A significant bit during his management was getting Video for Scott Howie to study Aldersot penalties. As for Ben Smith in MM terms he is completely the wrong DNA and from day 1 at Arsenal was an unprofessional shister who could have made more of his career!

Yes, but he acknowledges this and matures as he gets older.

Am listening to him now! He's on Radio 4 talking about the failure of our under 21 team and other football matters.

Finished book now, some of the stories of a certain rotund individual who now shouts at Rotherham United players were funny.
Highlights who MM does a fantastic job

As football related books go, it was ****in' boring. Mind you, 98 % of the books I have read , by ex- pro's , are usually a catalogue of boring garbage.

Just finished, thought it was quite an honest appraisal from the lad.
No shocks with the chapter on us, Quinns time was very unprofessional he thought he was still "one of the lads", Peters was a bit of a bully.
Smith doesn't cover himself in glory either, he didn't even want to sign, we were just the best of a bad bunch.
