Nope. The guy is from Yorkshire, where they do compliments like Fox News does investigative journalism. If you want to know what your character defects are, get a Yorkshire roommate.
A distinguished Yorkshire academic on the Yorkshire mentality: Simon Jenkins quotes David Cameron as saying, “we knew Yorkshire people hated the rest of us, but I never knew they hated each other”. This strikes me as just about the only political lesson he learned. The Danes probably knew the nature of the beast when they divided the county [of Yorkshire] into three ridings. You can buy a T-shirt with an outline of the map of England printed on it and, within that, the outline of Yorkshire. Inside the county boundary is the legend “Right” and outside the word “Wrong”. Yorkshire folk are united only by a sense of superiority to the rest of the world and a generalised grievance against it. Beyond that, nowt. Sheffield thinks the “One Yorkshire” movement is a power grab by Leeds. Leeds thinks Sheffield has ideas above its station. The Tory councillors of North Yorkshire would rather be seen dead than sit in a council chamber with Sheffield socialists, and so it goes. What the Danes put asunder, let no man or woman join together.

https://www.fourfourtwo.com/us/features/danny-williams-interview-usmnt-huddersfield-premier-league-dream?page=0,1&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_m_medium=t Danny Williams on Wagner- "He is a competitor and that’s a trait I really respect. He is infectiously enthusiastic, but he’s a very structured coach; he gives us a game-plan before every match to fulfill. Sometimes it works better than other occasions. But he is a really good motivator and you can tell from the way he celebrates that he is really close to the fans. They love him because he has accomplished something really special"
For sure ATM. Hopefully they can right the ship. But only 3 points out of 11th. So can easily turn it around.
Ask and ye shall receive. They're 3-1 up against Bournemouth with 5 minutes left. Bournemouth seem to have played the better quality football by far, but just couldn't handle 'Udders intensity. That said, Aaron Moy was stretchered off on 73' with a knee injury, his hands over his face. Players do come back after 4-6 weeks out with ligament strains, but it's a big ask and an even bigger risk. They'd probably trade two (or even all) of the points to keep him fit. Edit: It looks like it was a deep gash, rather than ligament damage. Could be as little as 2-3 weeks if the tendons are OK
It finished 4-1 to Huddersfield. Now on 27 points. While they have United, Arsenal and, IIRC, Chelski in their last four games, all five of their remaining home games - Swansea, Crystal Palace, Watford, Everton and Arsenal - are winnable.
That was a must win game, and sure enough they delivered... WBA look like they are sinking like a stone, but it'll be a tight race for the other teams... Huddersfield could be back in the mire if Newcastle and Southampton win today, but probably not...
Despite being just 3 points above the relegation zone and not having won a match since 2/24, The 'Udders fans still love and want to keep DW at the club. An Open Letter to Head Coach David Wagner- https://www.examiner.co.uk/sport/sport-opinion/huddersfield-town-talk-open-letter-14494843
They'd be stupid to get rid of Wagner. Huddersfield's squad last season wasn't nearly as good as their position. Only reason they went up is because they are very well organized and tough to break down. If they get relegated, there is no one better to get them back up. I am sure a few clubs would want Wagner if he was available. I know he'd be highly desired at Villa.
Consistency and Loyalty. Great qualities. I'm sure he'll keep them up. Stoke and Swansea seem determined to get relegated. Huddersfield have a pretty good keeper, if only they can score some goals to help.
Massive result today and so were the results around them which, yet again, went their way. The most notable was Southampton going 2-1 up against Chelski at home, only to concede a late brace: they'e in real trouble now: five points behind Swansea and seven behind Huddersfield. Even Crystal Palace winning was good on balance; while it brought them to only one point behind the Terriers, it also lets the Terriers draw level with Brighton - who've been looking very nervous recently - on points. With only four games to go, the bottom three (West Brom, Stokeand Southampton) are starting to take on a permanent look. More interestingly, their next game was to supposed to be against Chelski, but it's been rescheduled to Wednesday May 9th, so their next league game is on the 28th, at home against Everton. That's a good break, and if r other strugglers' results continue to go their way on Saturday, they could be taking the pitch knowing that 3 points would make them all but safe, p[ossibly even mathematically.
would be a massive achievement for Wagner if Huddersfield survives. such a limited squad that still does the job, a lot of the players he starts and trusts in are guys that are 2nd division level. Some even have never played above 2nd before this season.
AND some pretty serious injuries to deal with as well. Williams obviously, but Kachunga & Hefele all pretty long term. Hogg and Mooy were banged up earlier in the season I believe.
FYP While it's true that only 3 of them have ever played EPL football, a few have played BL1 (e.g. the GK, Lossl, the RB Hadergjonaj, the CF Kachunga), Ligue 1 (Kongolo, the CB, Mounie the CF, and, erm, Lossl again) or Portugal (Depoitre the CF). And Danny Williams got a BL1 PT when he was at Hoffenheim. Then again, apart from Kongolo - who came from Monaco - they mostly came from relegation strugglers Your wider point stands, though: the squad is the cheapest in the EPL by far, and that it's been assembled without paying "the Premier League experience premium" just goes to show what a well-run club this is at the moment. The Prem is unique and not every overseas player can adapt quickly or even at all to its pace and intensity. To pick up so many effective and adaptable but completely unheralded players so cheaply is a remarkable feat of management. As this Guardian wrap-up notes, EPL experience is overrated - if you're smart. 'Udders clearly are. 5) Huddersfield prove that top-flight experience is overrated Huddersfield defied the odds to reach the Premier League and are on the verge of an even more improbable achievement this season. They will probably avoid relegation from the top flight – beating Everton at home next weekend would practically confirm that – and if they do they will have debunked the notion a team can only survive if they have a core of wily Premier League veterans. Only three of the 24 players used by David Wagner this season had Premier League experience and two of those barely featured this season (Dean Whitehead has played 65 minutes, while Martin Cranie made three appearances before being sold in January). Huddersfield’s players do have experience of keeping cool in high-stakes duels, thanks to their play-off triumph last year, and the benefit of playing for one of England’s best‑run clubs. https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...-league-10-talking-points-from-weekend-action
