Sounds like just the man Wigan need to be Sam's minder.

Shucks!
Is that who it was?

Saw a bit of the House of Commons Mental Health debate from a week ago replayed on the Parliament Channel yesterday. The MP for Bracknell spoke of an incident in his constituency where a guy was subdued and taken to a mental hospital by six PCs, all wearing anti-stab jackets, who then handed him over to the care of one female psychiatrist wearing, as the MP put it, a blouse.

So all it takes to be pigeon-holed into the 'mental health' stereotype now is for a man to argue with his missus and then belt a police officer?

A severe anger management problem and a tendency to aggression is a mental health issue - you don't have to be foaming at the mouth or pretending to be a teapot, or indeed listening to imaginary voices to seek help you know.

We all knew the story and anyone who can Google could have found it.
The trick on here is to keep it cryptic.
It drags it out longer.
You'll learn.

Yep see we'd already narrowed it down to one of the Sky Sports team. Then I'd let slip it wasnt Carney or Wells. So it was supposed to be a little challenge. Although I suppose it was fairly easy to work out as if it's not Wells or Carney it had to be one of Eddie, Stevo, Phil Clarke, Barrie or Terry.

Well Eddie wouldn't have dared let his wig get out of place, Stevo would have been busy telling the Police they "need to get the message out" and begging them to give him 1 point on his driving licence, Terry would still have been getting punched to the head, & Phil Clarke would have been too busy discussing a statistical analysis of pepper spray and it's KPI's with the Police.
So it was obvious all along who it was.
