What's so special about 65 then?

[peter w]

That was the age of my old PE teacher when he made a man of me.

[supertom]

I wonder if Nathan Dyer is worth going for. Probably still surplus at Swansea and Leicester unlikely to make his deal permanent. He may be able to get another Prem move, but I think he's one of those players who's average at Prem level (at best) but would be very good at Championship level. We need 1-2 wingers this summer and he'd certainly be good enough.

[Chris Jameson]

Jay Spearing is far too good for whatever league it is that Bolton are in now.

So Leicester will be holding their victory parade soon. Back on planet Lerner, Aston Villa are dawdling around, scratching their arse.

Yes, they've because they've just won the league and we can't sign any new players yet anyway.

[peter w]

Well, strictly speaking, or not strictly at all, we can.

Can we scout any? No. Why? Because we have no manager, so no idea what players he wants, no scouting system to speak of because they're at school/surfing delete as applicable, no long term decisions or appointments being made because we have no board and no one running things, unless you count the suit guy with fuck all knowledge about sport who assembled a board that lasted roughly the same amount of time one of our clean sheets does.

So yeah, were sitting around scratching our arses.

Can you sit and scratch your arse?

[peter w]

roll to the side

I do but never win!

He was on the fringes of the England squad not that long ago so if we could get him, it's not a bad shout.

[peter w]

And is on loan to the league champions so yeah, a spell in the Championship will do him the world of good.

That's the basis of a great terrace chant.  Start it up on Saturday.

I'm glad they've taken their time with it, it needs to be right. What would have been the point of having a manager sitting in the dug out or in the stands with signs being held up and paper planes and beach balls landing on the pitch? Besides, for all we know it's been done or we're trying to get a manager already in work. Like someone said earlier, after the Arsenal game, it's a clean slate and the manager can get on with it because he'll need to.
