who told you? ps this is a joke

All of which would have been prevented by someone explaining in a slightly larger detail why he was granted compassionate leave. Wouldn't have had to have been much. Just 'illness in family', or whatever. Step forward new communications man. Could have averted all this mongboard speculation/time needed by Adkins to clear things up.

Just the sort of game this board fully expects us to win easily so I'm going for 1-1, then meltdown. Will take that, personally. We just can't lose. That would be a disaster. And I don't want Matt Lucas smiling at the end of the game.

Maybe she doesn't like West Quay

As unsourced rumours go, this is pretty unsourced. Really hope not true but I can't immediately see how problems in Uruguay might be solvable by being in Italy.

maybe if you'd said 'most' it would have prevented people thinking you meant what you wrote exactly.

you kind of did

They probably just went big on the Saint/religious connection

No, but he does follow Bible Scripture. Probably good at crosses.

Defender. Yes please. He's on twitter at @mbesler. Wiki says he is a practicing Catholic. This meaningless information brought to you to cheer your snowy morning.

Well I think he's brilliant. And lifts the standard of passing of those around him. So there.

It's more of a must-not-lose...

But he's not very good, is he? Truth hurts.

I think QPR will win and all the journos will wet their pants with their Harry love even though it will be just because he has promised them all a big bonus, the bloody emperor's new clothes-club crippling twonk. And Reading will win. And I'll win my juicy multiple.

Fox back in contention apparently. Please no.

Perhaps we bought out the clause. Or are just ignoring it and telling him to see us in court. Either way, it's working.

Fox. Get rid. Terrible. We also still need to buy a centre back. Or have two results made us forget? I also think we could do with cover for Cork as, although he's performing miracles protecting the back four, an injury would royally hinder us.

Delap makes her best ever team? Good lord. Still, good 'up front'. Phner.

Bloody brilliant. Team really starting to tick. Shaw and Cork.

I bet Harry rang all the journos himself to leak the Ukraine interest in order to get the QPR boss to act. Schemer.

Yes please. Great to get a big name.

He's such a bloody manipulator. Doesn't fancy coming in for the Man U game as it would look bad if he lost first up. Has been hanging around waiting for Hughes to slip up, whatever he says. First thing he'll do is give them huge bonuses, then they'll move up the table.

Italian person loses job. Other team has Italian chairman. This equals lots, obviously.

I bet Harry Redknapp is on the phone to him now as his big golden hello to QPR

Great news. Terrific player.
