Just to get you all in the festive spirit, along with whatever alcohol you've already cracked open. :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H06jZcEDRNY The episode is in parts on YT, but I'm guessing the 2nd and 3rd parts will auto-load. Enjoy.

Yes, this is what I posted earlier - hopefully, Fleck will stay and Rose is the cover. Might result in Bigi going back to Newcastle though.

Shandy and Erasure? You're 'aving a Giraffe, mate.

Franny Lee weren't bad either and he was a podge. Also, the free-scoring goalkeeper from Paraguay, I give you Jose Luis Chilavert. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzPfvmX1oyg My favourite goalie of all time. That second goal is just dirty, btw.

Auto-promotion via a renewed cutting edge, ruthlessness...and an end to MAF's Sky Blue tenure at the expense of Robbie Keane (fuck off it's a wish liiiiiiist). Oh and AA till the end of the season. And a Jimmy Hill statue for my front garden. Ta, Santa. :D

Ah, good good. But wait, does this bode well with the Fleck situation? Now that I think about it...

Eh? Wha? What's going on, then?

Absolutely, and I believe it'll probably transpire this way. £5million, with say £4mil up front and a two year loan deal back to us and we're gaining all the way. So will Madders, because his development depends on getting substantial game time. Win/win situation.

Haha, yeah it was the same with me, Prime was hiding in the Xmas tree and Megatron was hiding behind the settee. Think mine were Spanish-made ones released via Milton Bradley, because by '87 Hasbro stopped circulating the Generation 1 toys. God only knows where my mum found them. Didn't care...

Basically, TM is trying to hike his price up, in a roundabout way. Quite clever.

Well, I'd shit in their stockings, see how they likes thems apples. :D Or get the wife a really sexist present, like a JML two-in-one steam mop and hand steamer...then she can do the cleaning properly. ;)

Yep, this is where my Xmas resentment comes from - the old ''oh I didn't know what to get you, plus the shops were packed and the kids were screaming, so here's a book token'. I feel your burning rage.

Very droll, sir. :D You get my point though; he just seems a tad flat at the minute, still, one or two goals in the next 3 games should give him a lift.

Just thinking ahead, the broader picture, I hope he regains his form otherwise the whole hoo-ha with AA will be a damp squib. Too much expected of him, I fear, maybe that's what's affected his form recently. He'll come good again, I just wouldn't want the lad to feel the weight of expectation...

Both great shouts, especially Waddle. Love that bit in the compilation where he leaves Giggs on his arse, haha. EDIT: Just looked on Wikipedia, and it says Waddle had an unsuccessful trial with us in 1980?! Bloody hell.

Best one was definitely getting Optimus Prime AND Megatron for Xmas in '87. I still remember it well, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Think I followed-through a bit, in actual fact. Worst present ever...hmm...the usual perfunctory socks and resentment are still regular gifts, but the...

Not even Fabio Cannavaro was in Sir Trevor's league. :D Anyone recall this game from USA 94? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99n3XG1kB-E In this tournament, I fell in love with how Hagi played the game. I couldn't believe his movement, strength, vision and incredible shooting skill. For me...

It was inevitable. He'll probably go, and I imagine it'll be to Arsenal. £5million is probably generous in my opinion, given his inexperience and relative newcomer status; I'd really push for clauses like loaning him back to us, sell-on percentages etc. If a bid for £5million was placed...

Also, this guy, Gheorghe Hagi. In my opinion, the ultimate attacking midfielder. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mTnWfbXk28 That's probably the better compilation, however a lot of his goals and assist aren't seen on it. The guy is almost a God in Galatasaray, they literally worship the...

Whereupon he hitched a ride home, locked the door of his workshop and lit a large doobie, declaring to his Elves: ''Christmas is fucked, so I'm staying in here till you bastards sort me out a security team. Need more reindeer too, unless you want me to pull the fucking sleigh myself?" See...
