Somebody on Twitter said we're interested in Stuart Staples from Nottingham.
First on the team sheet every week.

I wouldn't put it past us to sign another nobody from the lower leagues.

I don't think he's for sale. They're too attached to him.

Maybe he'd hold our midfield together.

I think there is a customer service assistant called Stuart in the Nottingham branch of Staples.  Might be an advance on some of our squad.

That's really sad about Michael Johnson, I hope he can slay his demons

Amazing how much he as changed. Watching him on BBC commentating on Olympics he was full of colour and quite athletic now he just looks pale and fat!

Alan Nixon of the Mirror suggesting we 'may' hijack Fulhams (yes, them again) bid for Derek Boateng who will be apparently twiddling his thumbs and kicking his heels after being released by someone you wouldn't care about.

Sigh.

The same article says that we're after Reo-Coker. They're obviously going for the scatter gun approach again.

Stuart Staples is happy to stay at Tindersticks evidently, bloody Twitter.

Any truth in the rumour on Twitter that we're after somebody who used to be in Elastica? Not one of the lasses, it's the bloke I think.

WTF is this obsession with NRC? I give you a ITK and your STILL wittering on about some bloke who couldn't hold down a place in the days of Sidwell

*chortle*

That's got to warrant a facepalm, doesn't it Greg? :-)


Well i ask you. we're not even linked to the dufus.

Tell him try your best jest to make it quick
Whom attend to the sick
'Cause there must be something he can do
This heart is broken in two
Tell him it's a case of emergency
There's a patient by the name of Gregory

Night nurse
Only you alone can quench this transfer thirst
My night nurse, 
Oh the pain it's getting worse :)
