Shouldn't that be 'PW 616' ? I thought that '666' was a mis-translation in an early edition of that work of fiction known as 'The Bible'.

666 is the fax number of the beast. It's why we got the extension as we had the wrong number first time round.

on page 66. Oh my god what are we signing

What is the story with the TC23 thing? Amongst all the cafuffle I missed it. You will probably make me hate the little fucker even more but do tell...
Hate? Really?

Ok hate's a strong word, but talking loosely in football related terms...

Anyway, can you answer the question or not ?

I am pretty sure I can get my Eric Djemba-Djemba tattoo altered to look like Cleverley.

it's ridiculous to hate any footballer. Are some of them knobs, self centred, childish etc? Absolutely. Unless they have done something illegal or truly vile I don't see how the word hate ever comes into it.

probably cheaper to get Cleverley to change his name by deed poll to Eric Djemba-Djemba   :)

I hate John Terry. And Alan Pardew. However, I believe it is illegal to not hate them.

To paraphrase - as I was not aware of it - Cleverly, a week or two before his debut at Man U paid for a marketing firm to produce a website  and to develop his brand.  TC23 was what they came up with.

Fooking hell, this is getting like the pathetic sharks in viz. ok, I'll rephrase as 'dislike'. Can you kindly answer the question or not ?

Agree on John Terry. He falls into the vile category. Alan Pardew, I just want to smash the smirk of his face. There's not hate there as such just a desire to keep pouding on his face. Not sure how to define that feeling.

I wonder how long it took that firm to come up with TC23?

There are some truly creative minds out there.

Is Marlon King still technically a footballer?
