I've never known how to pronounce his name.

Is it Day-vid or Daveed Bowie?

Well done to the club for calling the little scrote and his agents bluff ensuring he had to crawl to get the move.

Van Gaal didn't really want him to go, loaning him with much sorrow and saying '...never let me down'. I just hope he becomes one of our heroes otherwise Lambert could be a dead man walking. Anyway, I'm going to drive in (a week on) Saturday, to see him at Anfield.

If his spell here turns out to be like a period of Bowie's career, here's hoping it isn't the Tin Machine era.

Fucking hell, hours later and the puns are still going.  I love this site but sometimes I hate it.

  Cleverley has admitted that after the actions of his agent on deadline day he was left feeling "unwashed and slightly dazed" but that joining Villa had been an "occasional dream" throughout his childhood and was over the moon to finally "join the gang".

 Crowbar.  Bowie.  Finished.

I still haven't worked out why the Bowie puns started.

We were calling him TC23 sarcastically (that's what he called his "brand"), and UKR made a Bowie joke out of it:

If TVC15 plays well enough for Villa to even consider paying £7.5m for him in January, he will have plenty of other clubs interested in him. Unless he has a change of heart and decides that Villa really is the place for him rather than an Everton fall-back plan, I can't seen him accepting a deal here at that point.

That's all it takes.

But that was 10.54 am.  For the love of god isn't over 11 hours of shite puns enough?
