Carney always seems to have a soft spot for Wakey - I have no idea why though.

Hemmings is not a fan...

Re: TJ & Bill Arthur : Sun Mar 03, 2019 7:36 pm  

I think the annoying thing is that Tom has a long term contract - and others like Big Dave do too. I suppose they will get linked, but it was a bit galling that it was the first thing Arthur asked him - especially with the job he does interviewing players!
He should know that Tom is contracted - they all say on Sky how good Tom is and if Arthur doesnt know Tom's situation then he should pack it in.

Also, Chris Chester wasn't happy - the first thing he said to Arthur on the way to speaking with him was "He's going nowhere"

Hope they get the message....... but I doubt it.

So does Phil Clarke!

Don't care what Hemmings thinks........

Probably since I called him a w#@%er in the car park a few years ago, Carney had a good laugh if Hemmings didn’t .

To be fair I haven't seen the interview as I don't have Sky and was at the Jungle at the time but what answer did you expect him to give? He was hardly going to say yes I'd love to go to a club that will win some thing.

That's what Tony Clubb said when he was at London.

Generally I'd agree but Tom looked ad sounded genuinly afronted. I think TJ is one of those rare creatures who has no side to him, he seems utterly invested in Trinity and thus loyal in a way thats truly touching. He's just a genuine young lad who knows when he's on a good thing and let Bill know. Trust me I'm as shocked as most and I realise we are truly blessed in this case.
