a very respectful, knowledgeable and intelligent interview.
I know I really shouldn't say this, but whenever I hear a bloke speak with a Landin/ cockney accent for some reason I kind of assume they are a bit dodgy. However, this chap was respectful, as you say, and didn't seem stall dodgy.
But this thing about teaching his team to play in many different ways - I find that a bit implausible. I'd think teaching Cambridge to play in even one way would be a challenge

I can't see it.

He was born and brought up in Cambridge.

Clearly an intelligent young manager, full of respect for KMT and our club. Good on him- just not today!

I bow to your greater MDT OP experience and propensity to have good luck to start it yourself . If I do it will be the kiss of death
Please give it your best effort.
Thanks.

Estuary English has spread throughout the South of England. Although Cambridge is approaching the Midlands!

No they don’t and he hasn’t got one 🤣. (It is too far west to be ooo arrr though. I speak as someone who grew up near Cambridge. In fact, before I saw the light (and don’t tell anyone), the first team I ever followed was the Us).

I had a friend in Wisbech and we went to a cattle auction in a place called March. I remember the accents and there was a certain similarity with ours, but with differences, too .The beauty of English is that there are so many accents and dialects .
Anyway, I won't tell anyone that you were a U's fan : it's just between you and me
What's your prediction for today, FG?
