He forgot to add "but the manager's on holiday, so fuck 'em".

Has Belhanda "done a Benteke", and got us mixed up with Arsenal again ?

Maybe that's how we should market ourselves to these geographically challenegd foreigners? In the London suberb of Birmingham yes, yes, we're Arsenal.

To be honest, we've probably got more chance of winning something than Arsenal, especially if we sign a load of quality players.

But we don't enter the Birmingham Senior Cup anymore (much to Plumbutt Cooper's annoyance).

Also those saying we wouldn't pay that much for a player, I'm not sure £11.9 million is that much when you consider how much money we'll be receiving from TV revenue this year.

A signing like Belhanda would also show Benteke we mean business and make him less interested in any offer that may come in during the summer.

We can't, as we're from North London.

It would be great, but we'll see I guess.

I was saying to my better half on the way to work this morning about how money will be inflated, if you have clubs like West Ham making £14 million bids for players.

She just stared at me blankly.

As much as I believe Lambert and the direction he wants to take the club and is taking the club, I'm sure it's not lost on him that we also need to surround our best players with other very good players. It's a message about intent, and while I'm a fan of the unknown as much as anyone, especially as we have unearthed some real gems, it also instils confidence in the other players to have proven quality standing next to them.

The other night in bed I was telling my missus how I blagged two hours extra overtime when in actual fact I left early because it was the day of the Fulham game, and she actually fell asleep while I was talking to her.

Funny,  she gets really upset if I do that while she's talking to me, whereas I just put Babestation on.

I keep babestation on only in the hope that one of the girls accidentally in all that arse and tit jiggling reveals their twat. It never happens but it helps pass the night.
