I Told You So

Desperately trying to find some consolation in Wednesday’s result, at least I can type the most enjoyable phrase in the English language:

I told you so.

Yes, 13 months ago I was typing things like:

...already I have severe doubts about the ability of the coach Steve McClaren.

And:

...he may not have the intelligence and gravitas to handle the tactics and the prickly egos of the players.

And:

Let's hope Steve McClaren is simply going through a very rough patch. I doubt that's the case, but hope I'm wrong.

Sadly, I was right .
