aaron Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Sheffield United manager Neil Warnock has branded Gareth Southgate "a disgrace" after the Boro boss fielded a weakened line-up in the defeat to Manchester City on Saturday. Southgate rested striker Mark Viduka and centre-back Jonathan Woodgate for the 2-0 defeat which allowed City to move six points clear of the relegation zone. By contrast, the Blades' 3-0 defeat to Chelsea and Charlton's 2-0 victory over Newcastle left Warnock's side just four points from safety. "It's a disgrace. I know Gareth's a friend of Stuart Pearce's and they had Manchester United to face," Warnock told Sky Sports News. "But it's scandalous and I would love to see them lose their next six games and see how they feel in the last couple, under that sort of pressure." He added: "I don't think a club like Boro should disrespect Sheffield United. "To not have any of those players playing against City, especially with the way they are playing at the moment, leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. "He's only a young manager but I hope that one day it happens to him and he sees what effect it can have. "They play West Ham next and Alan Curbishley is another mate of his. He'll probably not bother there, either." does he have a point? personaly i think he has, but tbh its upto southgate to play who he likes. warnock is still a legend like lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiemaher85 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 its all about him isnt it!!! Could it be that he was resting players because he wanted to win against man utd and possibly be the first team to win the fa cup at wembley??? If southgate wants to rest players, then let him. He's not disrespcting Sheff Utd, its just Warnock has a huge ego and thinks everything is about him. He's just scarred about going down and is looking to blame anyone else but himself. sour grapes anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 I can't stand this man, he's a twit IMO. Did he not rest players in the cup games? Was that not direspecting clubs? I bet he rested players along the way when they got promoted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebluenose Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 so in his case every single club should field a weak team so that sheffield will have a better chance at winning. no fucking way so shut up warnock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebluenose Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 (edited) i know but the point hes making is that boro shouldnt have fielded a weak side because it gave city a better chance of winning. so what does he expect. i was meant to say that its prob what warnock expects Edited March 20, 2007 by thebluenose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 I don't think he expects teams to field weakened teams against Sheff U at all though, that's not his point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Its not so long ago that the FA fined teams for fielding weak sides, what happened to that rule. ??? And i think he has a valid point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiemaher85 Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 but what if your resting players for a "bigger" game a few days later. I mean they had a game on Saturday and then a game on monday, the players he rested Viduka:- is getting on a bit now and probably wouldnt be able to perform to his best if he played both games. Woodgate:- has been injury prone, but has been a lynchpin to boro this year, so why not rest him before a "bigger" game. Its only two players, and two players don't "make" a team. And i think that southgate has good reason to rest these two players, especially seeing as they had such a quick turn around in games. If Boro had fielded a completley "weaker" team and say had rested 5 or 6 of their best players then maybe warnock would be half way to a point. but in this situation, no. Wancok is just trying to place the blame on other people for his clubs plight. If they concede a penalty warnock claims a dive, if they get a man sent off the ref got it wrong, if the oppostion dont get someone sent off the refs got it in for him, one of the teams also fighting relegation win then another manager "threw" the game as a favour. Its stupid, its warnock against the world. I think that Warnock has been smoking too much skunk becasue he's clearly paranoid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiemaher85 Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Im just saying the Sheff Utd should stay up on their own merit, not other peoples mistakes, its like we want to get to europe on our own merits (i.e winning our games) and not other peoples mistakes. (i.e hoping teams like the spuds drop points) and boro didn't exactley field that weak a team, its not like when arsenal play their entire youth team. nBoro still fielded Schwarzer, Xavier, Pogatez, Paranaby,Taylor Cattermole, Euell Boateng, Downing, Yakubu, Lee... and Viduka came on as a sub. Boro lost a game with, arguably, only one key player (woodgate) not featuring, and its come out in the press today that he has been suffering with a problem with his knee for awhile but has been playing through it. Dont think Warnock has a leg to stand on, Boro lost, Man City Won. Get over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob W Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 its a squad game nowadaysa and Southgate was using his squad, thats what its there for. He can pick which ever players he likes for which ever game he likes.
