We've signed Liechenstein!!

He was very good against Spain t'other night but I'm hopeful these are squad players, with our entire warchest being saved to dump on a 'special' player.

Why not? After all, we've been and dumped on our greatest ever manager, let's do a bit more dumping, and while we're at it, let's buy a load of lumbering, clodhopping oafs who wouldn't have been allowed within 5 miles of Colney if Arsene were still on his throne.

Yes, I'm bitter. What of it?

'Oaves' imo. The plural of 'oaf' is 'oaves'. FACT.

I do like the way this Turkish chap is putting down his marker and showing he's his own man by...errr...signing really old, **** players.

I understand that either ir acceptable but, most importantly, I don't give a fúck.

I don't understand why you're talking about a random Turk of whom I know nothing.

I am in a bad mood.

I need a drink.

I was only joking about the 'oaves' thing. It's always been a family joke that the plural of oaf should be oaves on the grounds that the plural of loaf is loaves.

Why are you so cross-grained? Are you costive? Would a black draught answer?

Listening to 'The Thirteen Gun Salute' the other day, I was struck by the fact that one of the Marine captains at dinner (all of whom are basically the same in all the books - have you noticed?) told a story about a seaman he thought was being impertinent because when asked where he was from, he kept saying 'Ware'. There's a thing, eh?

I have of late, but wherefore I know not, lost all my mirth. And indeed it goes so heavily with my disposition that this goodly frame, the earth, seems to me a sterile promontory. This most excellent canopy, the air, look you, this brave o'erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire, why, it appeareth nothing to me but a foul and pestilent congregation of vapours.

Ah. It sounds like you've reached 100% sobriety. You've gone too far with the detoxification.

I had 5 failed attempts at the mayonnaise last night. 5. In. A. Row. No idea why. Now I'm too scared to try again.
