Neil Warnock: I’d rather watch Downton Abbey than an England match

Posted on 12/10/2013 | 13 Comments

The thoughts of Colin, as bizarre as ever – but does he have a point in claiming he’d rather watch Downton than England? Leeds fans would be able to confirm that the old boy has no more than a passing interest in football, so maybe this expressed preference isn’t all that much of a surprise…

Oh the irony! His tactics are from the time when Downton Abbey is set!

I’d rather read Mein Kampf than what Neil Warnock thinks … his man management skills were better suited to that era.

I agree with the sentiment – it definitely wouldn’t be Downton Abbey though. Watching England is punishing and often lack-lustre. I love watching Leeds and that is not easy – but I feel more connected. I feel strangely disconnected from my national team and that is really sad.

  I’m struggling to find this 0-0 with San Marino you refer to, but you’re obviously sincere if slightly demented.

I’d rather watch a Hippo have a dump than watch downton abbey,the noise would be preferable to that England/sheff wed band too. Please no more mention of warnock. Let’s pretend he never happened.

Jay,you’re a star. I was bad laughing at your reply just there. You’re forgiven for mentioning the “W” word. Wish we could get 2 hippos and involve Bates too.
