MARCUS f'n HALL! At last he gets the Ricoh sendoff he was denied.

From post #11:

There's not really much of an agenda here - footballer would like people to show up.

You may have misread the tone here VOR.

He got a few doubles but not a hat-trick I think. That Eastwood game was one of the only home games I missed so I've got no idea when I last saw a hat-trick. I assume it was scored against us.

Eastwood against someone at home a few seasons back?

He said he doesn't work for the BBC, not that he doesn't broadcast on one of their stations. A lot of people you see on the BBC channels similarly aren't employed directly by them.

One of my favourite things about Mick Harford was playing for someone who'd just conceded. The scoring team had this rehearsed celebration where they all lie down to do some kind of routine, and right on cue Harford comes into shot and just tramples through the entire group.

Not with inventive punslingers around.

No it isn't. These wacky nicknames are universally terrible.

In one of the old games that'd be the first thing I'd do to get McAllister away. He was too old to sell and too expensive to keep.

The vast majority of people staying away on principle will continue regardless. Some of those are likely to have ummed and ahhed over the decision not to go so a bit of good form would be enough of a sway to bring them round. It's human nature.

Is there a way we can add ourselves as Real Madrid and buy McSheffrey for £70m? Not that I used to get rid of deadwood that way of course.

Unless this is something else, it was all quite openly mentioned when he initially threw his name in the hat.

You can be Bono's +1, The Edge is getting his plugs put in that day he reckons.

They can't go to his meeting, I've invited them up to the treehouse where me and Vanilla Ice are hosting a soiree.

But you're talking as if people are creaming themselves over him, whereas all that actually seems evident is some kind of relief that someone's come in mixed with a caution or cautious optimism. The wages thing doesn't really suggest anything other than McDonald being vastly overpaid. Had you...

International signings, a brand new ground, what a summer!

I'm fully aware of how low we are. You're the one wistfully looking back to days of yore.

Well let's just get under the covers and sob because it's not 1999 any more.
