So, the article below talks up Eddie Howe as the 'new Simone'. I can't stand fawning articles and pundits banging on about 'clever' fouls and 'great game management'. It's deception pure and straightforward, cheating. I was enraged by Aston Villa's antics at the Amex, similarly, I can't stand Newcastle's Pope going down "injured". Wankers.

Manager who is quietly firm, fair and a good communicator returned from sabbatical no longer quite the arch purist of old
