That's quite impressive. I'm really looking forward to the Chris Herd one now.

Why do footballers videos on YouTube always come accompanied with mind numbing dance music?

I would be surprised if he chose Hull. I think they're quite likely to go down.
Remember that wanker Matt Holland who chose Charlton rather than us when moving from Ipswich?

If Tom Cleverley does sign for us, why do I have this horrible gut feeling that he will be another that really doesn't want to be here?  Players like Richard Dunne, Stephen Ireland and going back a bit, the likes of Mike Ferguson and Barry Hole.  I even got that feeling that James Milner would have preferred to be elsewhere when he signed for us, although he proved me wrong.  I'm sure there are others if I think hard enough.  As I say, it's probably just me.

I prefer the way we've conducted the majority of our transfer business during the Lerner era.  Swift and concise and the first anyone knows about it is when the i's are dotted and the t's are crossed.

He was actually driving up to Wigan to sign for them when MON got in touch, and his agent called him en route and got him to stop off at Villa Park and sign for us instead.

A little like climbing the stairs with Sonia from Eastenders, only to get a phone call from Megan Fox when you're halfway up, asking you to come round for a bunk-up.

I liked Mike Ferguson, Dave. I like skillful players. He could beat his opposing marker without having to think about it. And the two that followed!

Dont know where Dave Clark Five has gone this season but no doubt he would comfirm that fact.

I was there that day Ron when Ferguson scored THAT goal against us for Blackburn.  IIRC, we spent the following years trying to sign him.  Moved to QPR after a couple of seasons didn't he?

Ginola was another who didn't really fancy us.

I was just wondering the same about where DC5 has gone whilst out on my run this morning. Plus Villajk. I have seen neither of them on here for a long while

Oliver Kay of the Times has written a big piece on Cleverley today, very interesting too. The main gist being that he's an energetic, talented, intelligent footballer who has suffered a drop in confidence over the last year or two, largely due to being over promoted by club and country due to their dearth of midfield talent.
