00:00You know who the greatest nemesis for any manager is?

00:03I'll tell you who the greatest is. In today's world, and he's only come to surface probably

00:07in the last sort of five, six years, I reckon, or maybe 10 years, Mr Hindsight.

00:15Mr Hindsight is the guy who, when the outcome's there, the result's already done,

00:20he's got all the answers with the greatest of certainty that was so obvious, and he's never

00:26wrong. And Mr Hindsight will go out there every time and profess to be the oracle of all oracles,

00:37because he just deals with what's happened after the event, never before. And there is such a

00:44mass of Mr Hindsight. I mean, the killer should do a song about him, I'd definitely buy it.

00:48And that's just results. I mean, you say Hindsight, but actually it's just outcomes.

00:55Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. But it's easy to deal with an outcome.

00:59Anyone can deal with an outcome. You don't need to even understand football. That team won,

01:04that team lost, or that team's better, that coach is better, those players are better,

01:07that system's better, those selections are better, those decisions are better.

01:11They're always going to be better. I could have told you that before the game. You never did,

01:14but I could have told you that before. Everything's obvious. So what's the point?

01:17So if it's just results, what's the point of having any analysis? But anyway, mate,

01:21we should have had this offline. I've said too many things that I'm going to regret tomorrow.
