SSN CORRECTION...ASTON VILLA ARE NOT INTERESTING IN CANALES.. RANDY LERNER WANTS THE TEAM TO PLAY MARIA CALLAS AS THEY WALK OUT

Never rated her 'Vissi d'arte', if I'm honest. A little nasal and thin.

If he's anywhere near as good a few years ago then this would be a great signing.

If it's true of course.

I still want Puncheon. I like Puncheon.

I can't think of him without remembering when he had to go off mid-match for a shit, and the Southampton fans were singing "He shits when he wants, he shits when he wants" etc etc

Nothing worse though if you need it as any runner amongst us will testify - the running motion just makes it worse and a dive off into the bushes is inevitable. Dock leaves work well if you ever find yourself indisposed thus...

Indeed, it's always an error to move with pace, you need a firm arse-cheek clench whilst walking on tip-toe with your groin slightly advanced.

Think walking like a Mancunian, without the arm-swinging.

I think David Batty shit himself during a match at Wolves as well, it was the only bit of his serialised autobiography that I remember, oh and that he fancied being a bin man when his playing days were over.

Can we get a XI of players who shit themselves during a match? Did Tommy Johnson or was that puke?

John Percy at the The Torygraph:

15.04 Aston Villa in "buying someone good" shocker! More from John Percy:

Paul Lambert has made a bid for Real Sociedad's attacking midfielder Sergio Canales. The former Spain under-21 international, 23, has been targeted for a move to the Premier League by Lambert and Sociedad are considering the offer. Villa are still waiting on an answer from Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley, but their move for Canales could suggest they are moving on to other targets.

I remember watching Spain under-19s take England apart at the Euros in Normandy a few years ago. Canales was the best player on the pitch: deft, inventive, seemingly x-ray vision. After leaving Real Madrid, though, he's not kicked on. He did OK at Valencia, and then quite well at Real Sociedad last season, but potentially he's better than that. Just look at some of the other players in that Spain squad: Koke, Thiago Alcantara, Martin Montoya. That's the bracket Canales should be in. If Lambert can get the best out of him, that could be a formidable piece of business.

Is it not too late? Surely we would have to have it nearly sorted by now.

[Russ aka Big Nose]

The ever reliable wiki ... just checked and Sergio Canales currently plays for Walsall. There aren't arf some funny fuckers on tinternet at times.

[fbriai]

Was bought when very young by Real Madrid is about all I can remember of him. And he was good in a Spain U21 game I saw.

Aren't you up a ladder?

Holding a brush or using a roller?

Sky sources: he's cutting-in, so brush. Only speculation ATM, waiting for confirmation.

BREAKING NEWS: WE UNDERSTAND OZZ HAS SWAPPED HIS BRUSH FOR A ROLLER.

Obviously, the really big news today is that, as we see above, Woodhall has worked out how to use marquee text.

It took him a while to get the colour right, mind.

[LeeB]

Have the Blues signed anyone? (stop laughing)

[pauliewalnuts]

My concern with this possible bid is that we have a track record of finding the technically worst Spanish players on the planet.

On the bright side, there are only about five Spanish males alive today who have zero technical ability, and we've already signed two of them. It would be awful bad luck to stumble upon one of the other three.

Exactly, I'd count this as a very exciting signing if true and it happens.

[Dennis Keeks]

Woah, I'm losing track! My marbles are going! The little hamster that powers my mind needs more sunflower seeds! Ring, ring, ring! Bring in Pete Tong - the party's about to get started! MASSIVE!
