Good news is the Bodymoor canteen will be on overtime.

Half of them were laid off when Dunne left.

At least we will beat Norwich at home and at least we can all bet on the scorer.

He is a horrible, horrible bastard of a player and that aspect, together with some exprience, I welcome.

sure if we wanted a horrible horrible bastard of an experienced player to come in, why not get hutton to start earning some of his wages?

If he's on £28K a week Wigan won't be loaning him for much less that that, which will also make him one of our top earners I expect. Staggering.

I don't think you appreciate the subtle nuances of being a dirty niggly player winning free-kicks and the like and how this differs from being an outright liability/thug.

I take it that by signing Grant Holt, Lambert has changed his strategy from long ball.... I mean "low possession football" into a more intricate short passing game?

Because I think the way some of us are hoping that what will happen is if we need someone on to break up play towards the end of the game while retaining eleven players on the pitch, Holt is potentially one option.

If the objective is to start the 90 minutes just waiting until we lose a penalty and end up playing with 10 men then Hutton is the man.

That's the difference I think Ads is meaning

Not sure, he certainly has dropped the young & hungry though.

Holt is old and always hungry, apparently.

If people want an experienced striker to cover Benteke(which I don't think we need) then why on earth can't it be someone better than Holt?
