In response to the locked thread: why on earth is anyone buying the Evening Mail anyway? It's an awful newspaper!
Today's Mail "Exclusive"BOWYER : I TURNED DOWN REALThe football World was reeling last night from the sensational news that midfield legend Lee Bowyer had turned down Real Madrid to stay with the Champions-elect what have the name of the city in their names and make all Villa fans jealous.His agent, Adolf Kalashnikov, revealed exclusively to our man in the bogs Colin Tattum "Lee was approached by a number of clubs, including Aston Villa, Leeds Rhinos, Aston Villa (God I hate them) and Real Madrid. He has always had a soft spot for Real, especially when he noticed that their fans like to boo non-white players and were happy to employ fellow BNP supporter Jonathan Woodgate".However it seems that Alex McLeish's ambitions for Theybreakyourearts City have swayed the combative midfield battler. With the pride of the Second City (yeah, second city - take that, Manchester!) finishing in the top half for the first time since 1913 last season it seems inevitable that Champions League football beckons within the next seventy-eighty years.This is the latest blow to supposed "rivals" Aston Villa who are still reeling from their failure to sign a taller player than John Carew, their embarassing defeat in the 1963 League Cup Final and their inability to have the name of the city in their names.Continued page 94...
The player's agent sounds suspiciously non-British to me. I'm not sutprised Martin hasn't heard of him.
