But then again...if you've been imbibing from the famed Northeastern pipes...here's a hint that it could happen, just slipped past you guys whilst you're in a 'marra' whirl!

Found this on Wiki so it must be true. (googled shisha!)

'The tobacco smoked is referred to as Mu'assel, or "Shisha". Multiple references have .... use in Persia, to India. The hookah pipe is also known as the Marra pipe in the UK, especially in the North East, where it is used for recreational purposes. ...'

I see Steve Walford was at Blues today, according to reports he was watching Curtis Davies.

He is good once in a while, and totally shit for the rest of the time, even describing himself as little better than a pub player. Seemed to excel with an organiser and leader alongside him, but thinks he is better than he is, and gets carried away.

On the main point,  I take it to mean that getting Beye off the books at almost any cost bottom line removes approximately 2m off the wage bill without looking to cash in on prized assets.

No it doesn't as the £2mil will have to be paid off either in one bulk sum or over the course of the rest of his contract. So we would not be saving anything either way, but we are currently paying less as he is on loan with a small percentage being paid for by Donny. And as Dave W pointed out, if we have an injury to Cueller and Hutton we will still have a Beye to call back who might even have some match sharpness back after playing in competitive games.

expensive insurance policy!

We have to pay the same money whether we release him now or have him playing here for the next 6 months. So paying possibly less for those 6 months is the next best thing with the ability to have him for emergency cover if needed.

It's not just emergency cover. When we have a reserve game on a bumpy pitch in February I'd rather he was playing than someone we'd miss if they were injured.

Davey, Curtus Davis is fucking terrible.

I'd never thought a professional footballer could be so easily terrified by the concept of the ball coming near him.
