Martin O’Neill has always been a little underrated. As a player at Nottingham Forest, he endured a testy relationship with Brian Clough and was once told by his manager that the linesman was having a better game than him. “You’re arrogant, with very little to be arrogant about”, Clough would regularly say to the Irishman, who ended up doing a pretty good job of proving his manager wrong. But maybe that was Cloughie’s genius, knowing which buttons to push.Although Krishna Moorthy (Monday’s Football Daily letters) points out that Billy Bonds declined an offer from Spurs, he did accept the challenge of crossing the Thames to take the manager’s job at Millwall. Despite his history at our biggest local rivals, Millwall fans will eternally be grateful to Bonds for signing two club legends in Neil Harris and Tim Cahill. May he rest in peace” – Michael Lloyd.In the old days in the Kippax at Maine Road, there was a supporter who booed the Manchester City players during their prematch kickabout. He knew he was going to be disappointed so was getting his retaliation in first” – John Steele.As a lifelong Spurs fan (and shareholder) I’m not booing I’m crying. The players are clearly giving 100%. The problem is not effort, but talent. Unless all of our recent managers have been duffers, the issue seems to be the players aren’t quite at it” – Chris Brown.Are we sure Spurs fans were not fainting in horror, rather than booing, given that according to Barry Glendenning, Vicario’s ‘rush of blood to the head led to him charging out of his penalty area like a headless chicken’?” – Neil Rose.Nestling in the nether regions of the Scottish Highland League is a team called Keith. Hello, Keith. Never fails to bring a chuckle. How about if Football Daily readers clubbed together to buy another Highland League club (maybe bottom side Rothes), chucked a bit of money their way and then changed their name to Kevin. How much fun to be had when Keith v Kevin pops up on the fixture list, how we would laugh. Come on Football Daily readers, send me your cheques and postal orders, let’s make it happen” – John Collins (not that one).
