3) we have to stay in the Premiership first. That is now more doubtful, in my opinion.

Now you're being silly. No chance.

Gastón should be ok.

Er... Which one is Forren?

Great, that's two more down, only the rest of the squad to go.

Totally different from a club like ours, then.

I've just looked up 'schettino' in Italian and it means 'skate'. Scary.

Why, does he speak Portuguese?

Surprised at the stupidity of the timing. Three points on Monday are crucial to our survival.

Yes please.

Yes, that was then, this is now.

Like many Argentinians it is Italian in origin but as they all speak Spanish (and in his case no English) then I would guess at Pochettino. It would appear to be a diminutive if 'pochette' which would mean 'little handbag'

Who's going to do the talking?

The principle is fine, it's the timing that promotes disbelief.

Wtfiln?

Thanks, Nigel. Take the money and walk away with your head held high. You will forever be a legend here for what you have achieved and I doubt we'll see your type again.

He hasn't got a chance.

That's always been my feelings.

Exactly. No matter how good this new bloke might be he doesn't know any of our players or anything about Premier League football. Staying up needed a very steady hand on the tiller and now is absolutely not the time to be risking any hiccups.

Yup.

Surely NC can't be that stupid, can he? What a pillock. There's only one way for us to go now and that's downwards. Halfway through the transfer window? What the **** is he on?

I was thinking more of Kathmandu, but if he's cheap enough, what the hell!

It'll be on, this is the Costa Tropicala compared to oop north.

The Crown is not the Queen, it is what we call the State in this country.

Yes, big band of snow moving from west to east across the whole country. It started here in Chandlers Ford at about 05:30 and is expected to last until later this afternoon. About 2" atthe moment. Looks a bit wet to me.
