Dear General, The five year plan, by any chance was it given to you by a man named Baldrick? Yours Most Disheartened, Chris.

Dear General, If we win the league next season I will gladly kiss Mr. Houlliers boots in front of a sold out villa park whilst dressed in only a pink tutu and ballerina costume. Please feel free to hold me to this.

A view from the other side...

Well that was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be, just booked over the phone without any wait. Looks like there will be ample.

Well they've started hitting eBay already. Damn my compact figure. Link

And constantly goes round in a circle.. And very often fails to turn up.

It did take him three attempts before he got it right though as his boots came off twice.

Oh **** it.

As far as I'm concerned they can move it to anywhere apart from Thursday 14th... I'm meant to be going to the Panto.

Thouroughly proffesional performance. We got the lead relatively early in the game, never sat back and didn't over exert ourselves when we were comfortabley 2 - 0 up. Lets just hope we can bring the form back home on Saturday, with Man City facing Tottenham another three points could really see us opening up a little bit of breathing space up there. MOTM, got to be Milner.

I needed A little respite from the hilarity of the recent press conference so I thought we'd take a trip back to 1993 and one of Karen Brady's programme columns. If ever there were a definition of small time this is it; Link Some of my favourite parts include; Unashamedly washing the financial laundry in public then emotionaly blackmailing the fans trying to attend every game. The opportunity to grass up your unwashed bluenose mates directly to Brady herself. And finally pointing out that if your going to get scammed by a premium rate number then you may as well get scammed by their premium rate number. Oh happy days.

Something I posted almost twelve months ago. Seeing that a very discerning individual at Villa Park has made this idea a reality too whom should I forward my details to in order to start receiving the monthly cheque? P.S. Seriousley though, was the suggestion of any influence (what so ever)?

I've finally gotten around to reading the article with more sober eyes and like the entire saga it seems to have divided opinion. It's 72 hours now since the deadline and the situation stays very much the same thus making the claims that Liverpool missed the deadline by a mere 15 minutes seem very much wide of the mark. I had intended the article to portray my admiration in the handling of the situation up until the point where we we're seemingly forced into forfeiting the deadline. It was obvious from Martins statement at the Reading game that he was extremely reluctant and somewhat embarrassed at admitting he was powerless. I would also guess that such a rapid withdrawal would have involved the agent making a legal argument to render the deadline un-imposable. The discussion of transfers (or lack of) and MONs handling of them up to this point seems to have very little relevance to this saga apart from the fact that the uncertainty will have done nothing but hinder our activity in this window. My only criticism of the club is that they cannot afford to take such a hard line and then fold their hand so quickly afterwards. If you put your neck out like this you have to make it stick, it can only reflect negatively in the eyes of supporters and the media. I very much doubt the club will make this mistake again. The board/management have hardly put a foot wrong since they took over but despite the very good PR that they generate and the very ethical stances they take even Randy/Lerner/O’Neill are not beyond being made to look a little foolish by the more unscrupulous elements of the game - hence "not all our futures will be so bright". Had the deadline stuck they would have been heroes in all of our eyes, in future I believe they will take a more cautious and quiet approach which is a sad conclusion in itself. It is a testament to the fact that in the modern game the player and their agent are now king, they hold all the chips and know all the cards. "It does appear that in all respects that we talk a very good game." - In retrospect that was a little far and was typed through beer filled fingers. P.S. Cheers for posting my first article BOF.

Better still... 15M + Finnan and a 1M donation to acorns.

No. Flog him to Arsenal to for 15M just to spite the spanish b£$%^"%d.
