Hand in Glove

Could the reason that our defence capitulates at places like Newcastle be that we look like a bunch of "soft southern bastards"?

Both Tomkins and Reed wore gloves on Saturday. And Reid is a Maori! Once were gloved warriors, eh?

Call me old fashioned but I think all centre backs should look like Brian 'Killer' Kilcline or Billy Bonds. Seeing them in gloves must give the likes of Andy Carroll or Leon Best a psychological boost. Soon they'll be in snoods too.
