Happy Xmas! That LaVena Johnson tale is so fucked up btw (I know nearly all the other ones are at least as bad but still...)

Why do think Marveaux is a "proven quality player", CT? What are you basing that on? Because I'm going to assume it's not your in-depth knowledge of continental football.

As HF points out, I was asking you that, more or less, so I'll ask again as the answer which you said was forthcoming seems not to have appeared: are you suggesting the salary on offer and the working transfer budget constraints wouldn't have an effect on the type of candidate we could attract to take over as manager?

Gaelic spellings / pronunciations just take the piss though, don't they? There's a whisky from Tobermory called Ledaig and it's pronounced 'Lay-chig'.

They do say you are what you eat.

Aye, he looked decent playing against an ordinary side who were reduced to 10 men after about 10 minutes, I'll concede that. He's never looked any good when not afforded that amount of space though so it's not really that significant iyam.

Nah, we're going to be in the Trent for a couple afterwards, just not hanging around there for too long.

Saw a few Narnia productions there as a bairn that were canny good. I did love the books as well though. That's right CT, books.

I think I mentioned that about Steve Wraith after seeing a poster with him on it. It's a star-studded affair like as you can imagine. And I remember as a bairn going with Walker's finest, i.e. the kids whose Dads were members of the Jubilee Club, to see a panto every year. Often at Sunderland Empire and usually well into January for some reason (probably because it was cheaper). We used to a free selection box as well. I dare anyone to beat that anecdote.

Now you've been rumbled for copying other people's posts on several occasions are you just going to keep repeating yourself?

I've seen absolutely nothing in him that suggests he's good enough.

He hangs out at all the top venues like. If he's not in Bet Fred he's in Toon Ice

What a cunt. You heard he practically lives in Bet Fred? Living the dream like, y'knaa? Apparently the lass in there wanted to phone the police after he refused to leave / was going on like a fucking tit. The manager talked her out of it as he spends £100s there every week.

No idea. I did once get Jockie Wilson's autograph at Peter Barratt's though.

Thought this would be about the old bar in town with the Wilf Lunn shit on the walls.

I remember him, although not from the show which was before my time.

Anyone seen Indoor League on ESPN Classic? It's a 70s show where people play bar games, darts, billiards etc. It's presented by Fred Truman. It's about as shit as it sounds but I caught about 5 minutes of it the other day. These two black lads were on and Truman asked where they were from. They said 'London' so he said 'Where you from originally?' Fuck me, people were ugly back then as well.

Aye, I think one point per game would probably be enough. I don't fancy putting that theory to the test like.

Fuck all like Jenas, who was very gifted footballer with a heart the size of a pea. If you squint they look similar from a distance though.

Christ on a bike.

Did you miss my question there, LBT?
