I maybe shouldn't be, but I'm quite amused by his last response about your job.

. TBF, he is generally a good commentator IMO but the way he's been over Agar is very odd.

Good man well done, he's a big favourite of mine or rather he was, but I saw a different side of him that day! Bias beyond his position although over the years thats not unusual for Blunderside is it?

Aye, was dissapointing, I agree.

I wouldnt go as far as some, but his lack of objective balance was appalling. I'm most amused that Cod'ed located his previuos quote to hopefully exacerbate the embarrassment I hope he's feelin'

"If the results don't come the man at the top has got to take the blame for that and the top man is Peter Sharp and, unfortunately, he's gone." Sky have just given an interesting stat on Agar's results: Last week was his 50th win in charge, it's taken him 3 and a half seasons. For comparison, if Warrington win tonight and manage just one playoff win, by my count they'll have done it in 2.
