    Fishing

    I do a bit of squid fishing here in Mallorca from November until the end of February. It's good fun but as soon as I've caught enough for dinner or a paella (normally one or two) then I'll stop. I try to despatch them humanely because it really pisses me off to see others unhook them and then...

    If he goes I reckon it will be around the 8 million mark.

    Things that annoy you

    "Furniture" made out of pallets and Temu, bearing in mind I'm old and miserable.

    Top Moments in the Footballing Wilderness

    Nicky Platnauer scoring with his face in the 4v0 victory against Liverpool back in the early eighties. Terry Gibson scored the other three. Ayari scoring his only goal for City with his Johnson.

    Tour de France, Sky Blue Cycle Room.

    I have a part of the lounge occupied with three pianos; a Rhodes mk1, a Wurlitzer 200a and a Korg Sv1 along with an amplifier, mixing desk and speakers, Pete. I wanted to convert the small bedroom into a studio, but the Spanish missus wants to keep it as is incase one of my two mid thirties year...

    Pre-Season Tour

    Yes, I stand corrected. I was thinking more Sevilla which is only just over a couple of hours away by road and despite crossing a border there is no control, you just drive straight over. Hope you enjoy Ibiza again, it's changed a bit since I lived there in the eighties after falling in love...

    Pre-Season Tour

    I got married in Ibiza which admittedly is an odd thing to do, anyway, what about a friendly against Granada if as rumoured we sign Brau from them, not too far from the Albufeira. Also a game against Sevilla or Betis would be a great test.

    Scumberland or Shitefield ?

    Strange decision to take Peck off, he's been arguably their best player.

    Released Players or Made Available for Transfer

    I think that he's a totally different player to Grimes or Rudoni. He's great at moving into that pocket of space that few players can see. I'm not suggesting he replaces anyone but if we needed to change the game he'd be ideal.

    Released Players or Made Available for Transfer

    I don't think that he was entirely culpable for their relegation fatso but I get what you're saying. I just think that with Lampard at the helm and how much he's progressed our midfielders, Liam Walsh could do a job for us next year.

    Released Players or Made Available for Transfer

    I remember him being massively influential during his time with us despite a few injuries, but he seems to have proved over the last season that his hitherto injury record has been laid to rest but maybe not so much his disciplinary record. I'd definitely take a punt on him Shmmmee

    Released Players or Made Available for Transfer

    I'm going to say it and have already prepared myself for the flak that I'm bound to receive but a one year contract for Liam Walsh wouldn't be the worst idea ever in the history of bad ideas. He orchestrated everything when we played Luton recently. Apparently he had a really positive influence...
