Post by: Holtenderinthesky on January 27, 2011, 03:57:50 PM
Apologies in advance for the teletext style headline but this has just been tweeted by Phil McNulty from the Beeb as well as Kendrick from the mail.  Have no idea if it is Villa related though.  An ideas?

The awoken sleeping giants of Small Heath are moving down to the new Olympic Stadium, as it's the only site capable of meeting the massive demand for tickets now they're finally been woken from their 135-year slumber.  They're going to extend the stadium and it'll be like 15 Camps Nou stacked on top of each other.

Everton are audited by Deloitte, one of the Big 4 (not 6), and anybody who works there would be too  scared to talk about a client's affairs, as that's grounds for instant dismissal and exclusion from their professional body, plus a hefty fine and possible legal proceedings.

£40m for for someone that nearly joined Small Heath on loan 18 months ago.  Not bad going really is it.

No, Small Heath were going to sign Gareth Hale.

His wage demands and personal standards were too high though.

I thought it was going to be:

 England to have Clough and Taylor as first duo to manage the national team.

Total non-story. Belongs on a transfer rumour site.

The point is we didn't know it was going to be a transfer rumour until it was announced.  The media had built it up like it was some huge story.  We had no idea what it was going to be.

Not true, the Guardian's sports editor had tweeted in advance that it was a 'transfer story' after someone speculated it was ManUre being sold.

That tweet was AFTER the OP.  It was not known what the "story" would be at the time this thread started.

I'm glad there's another Spurs story in the paper.

There's never enough Spurs coverage in the national press for my liking. I'm thinking of moving to London so I can read about them in regional news too.

How's BeckhamWatch today?

Keep this a secret but I heard from a reliable source that he is lining up a brilliant new hair-do for about March.

I hope Spurs move to the Olympic Stadium and it turns out to be a sinkhole to some subterranean sea of boiling satanic urine.

Holloway found walking upright on two legs, on Youtube.

No one deserves that comparison. You are out of order to  compare him with the beast. You should apologise to  Ambam straight away!

Ian Prior is getting slaughtered on his twitter feed.

Hehe, yes indeed he is, eg:

"Paul Gascoigne is on route to see @ianprior carrying a 6 pack, a chicken & a fishing rod."

To be fair, he seems to be taking it with good humour, here's one of his:

"Going to ring up Gray and Keys for a pint later. Then maybe drown a few kittens"
