Just listened to Martin Allen being interviewed on the radio. He came on to talk about the fact he took a few of his squad to Nandos last Friday before a Gillingham victory at the weekend. Hold the front page. I remember him going on the radio after advertising in a newspaper for someone to teach him how to whistle a few seasons back. He puts Harry Redknapp to shame. Never known someone so desperate for publicity. Loves the sound of his own voice and he's such a bore. Holloway also springs to mind in that department.

I heard something on the radio earlier about how Martin Allen would be on to talk about the unusual pre-match meal he took his players out to, but that was it.

Was it really Nandos?

What is unusual about football players going to Nandos?

Not sure i'd want him at The Albion, but does strike me as a 'take no shit' manager - just as he was as a (good) player.......

I like the bloke. The Football League Show League Two bit isn't the same without his musings.

Maybe, but three good managers doing quite well at the moment.
