Gillett's at the bottom of the pile as far as my trust is concerned. I'd trust David Moores with a big book of hard sums more than I'd trust Gillett with anything.

From what's been said on or behalf of DIC in public I don't trust them a great deal either.

As far as Hicks is concerned, I'm not too arsed about him using a new mug or a plasma tv with an open fire DVD playing on it. It was no tackier than Moores' muzzie or Parry's ties really, just something to take the piss out of him for. He was unfair to Parry with that letter, but he was right to say it. Just should have been kept private. I'm annoyed that when you check back a lot of what's been said against him was actually Gillett, a lot more was never actually said at all, and when you stop and think you actually start to struggle at just why everybody is against him quite as far as they are.

He's no Pepe Reina, maybe a Jerzy Dudek (excl Istanbul), but he keeps getting called a Charles Itandje.

But are DIC a Pepe Reina or just a Chris Kirkland without the injuries?

Or are DIC a little like the darker side of a Brucie?

Fucked if I know where I'm going with this.

Brad Friedel. It's his fault. All of it.
