n.— «Megsons defensive tactics were depressing to watch, with hoof ball being the run of the day. The only time we played attacking, passing football we scored.…I am unhappy with 3-5-fecking-2. It doesn’t work and results in a hoof ball game of panic kicking to “get rid.”…All there is is panic and hoofing the ball up field, either back to the opposition or out for a throw.…Am I happy with Megson? Nope. Not at all. More defensively minded hoof-ball.» —“Taylor bags a brace to send us flying” by Alex Trent End Talk (Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, United Kingdom) Nov. 14, 2005.
