'cos her fucked up Dad was screwing with her mind through her other ear.

 

Peters never stood a chance.

 

Still can't get her out of your head, Champ?!

 

I think that programme had a similar effect on a lot of people. Lizzie Armistead seems a far more sensible role model

B.R. "I must stress it is not a psychologist. It is neurology."

 

S.P. "Yes, I'm not a psychologist. I'm a real doctor!"

 

He usually described as a psychiatrist rather than a neurologist, which still makes him a qualified doctor, as opposed to a psychologist who is not medically trained

He calls himself an emotional skills coach. The fact that already people are dancing around his title tells you the kind of reception they expect him to get i.e. the same as Brian Beswick got when he worked for England w/Mcclaren.

Considering mental strength is such a massive aspect of sporting performance, it's strange really that football has been so slow to pick up on it. I've got no problem with this appointment. If you're not seeking to gain advantage over your opponent then you should be.

 

Has football really been that slow to pick up on it; or as usual has it been doing it it's own parochial way. Shankly, Ferguson and Mourinho have all got track records that trump anything this fellow has.

Paisley was also an excellent physio, but it doesn't mean sports science hasn't advanced in the interim. Take the influence of Milan lab as an example of how a professional approach can make improvements over having a nouse for something.
