I think you should. I'm over the moon with your top, top post.

We shouldn't get carried away, it's a long thread, we need to take it post by post.

Yeah but I don't err know but err know but err know I just don't err but know what to say. I'm chuffed and over the moon and all that obviously. At the end of the day obviously. Thank you. Obviously.

Obviously. That goes without saying.

Cole may well end-up just being used an option from the bench, in which case I think he'll make a useful signing as someone who can change our attacking approach to a game midway through it.

Last season our only really options from the bench were like-for-like Striker changes, or wildcards like Tonev.

I don't want to rip off a Chandler from Friends phrase but could there possibly be a better word to describe Tonev than 'Wildcard'.

How about "Wild One" ? His attempts remind me of the blind Charlie Sheen efforts in that baseball movie ...before he got fitted for glasses...

I thought the lad was brilliant, especially early doors

[Des Little]

Well, you know, he came on here and you know, did what we expected from him, you know, and that's all you can, you know, ask of him.

Speaking to a couple of West Ham ST holders last night they didn't paint a good picture of Joe Cole and his performances last season. Legs are shot and he can barely last 15 mins. Also a heavy smoker so doesn't bode well.

[villasjf]

How did he pass a medical in that condition?

[eamonn]

Dicky Dunne and Jacky Wilsonshere manage peak performance despite their love of fags.

[mr underhill]

yes, but they're all going to be signing for Emphysema City very soon

Just because they are season ticket holders doesn't mean they aren't talking shit.

Merson was a pisshead, chain smoking, druggie at one point...

Didn't he only play 1 entire league game last year?

That's worrying.

It was a game of two halves.

Joe Cole is Jenas MK II.
You'd think the club would bloody learn.

[Toronto Villa]

the question is would be available if this was a league game? If we wrap him up now and not risk anything then surely that is a good decision.
