Warnock asked. And his team aren't entertaining tonight, that's for sure."Warnock continued: "I just hope the half-time pies are good because that has been difficult to watch...

Every Sunday evening, you were hoping they would play."Now, most of the games I see in the Premier League are not, for me, a joy to watch, but it's always interesting because it's so competitive.
