I do not think he is taking it too far.  Regarding transfers, he has not mentioned names of players we are interested in, so he is staying on the right side of the line, unlike some of the PL clubs who actively unsettle players either directly or by using their contacts in the media.  I do not think I have seen anything that he has said that has not been said widely by fans.

Well, he discussed Enner Valencia and Abel Hernandez when asked about them.

Frankmossadwasmyuncle tells me, via a note written in lemon juice left behind the loose brick under the third ground floor window of Aston Hall that the Shirley Temple was closed because of the bugs.  Or as we used to call our local cinema The Walk In Ride Out.

Not in the "this player wants to play for us" before we have approached his club first, as far as I understand.

You deceive yourself roundeyes.  I already have a PM from undercover agent Frankmossadwasmyuncle listing all your spookery.  Including the bugging of the Shirley Temple.

Why are they bugging a Chinese restaurant on the Stratford Road?

Blimey- is that still there? They had a restaurant and a take-away further down IIRC. I remember it with fondness as the first time I ordered a takeaway over the phone I was asked ( and I'll leave you to imagine, with respect, the heavy chinese accent involved) 'what your name?'  'Price' I answered( for that is my surname) response came back, '£6.50- but what your name? 'Smith' I replied and 'I'll collect in 10 minutes'- on the premise that that particular line of conversation had no potential conclusion.

Sorry, it's closed down. It's an Italian now.

Oh well- another piece of my life's jigsaw lost down the back of the sofa of destiny. Thanks for the update- you'll be telling me next that the India Cottage on the Dovehouse Lane Parade is no more and Wiggy, the proprietor, he of the worlds most obvious toupee, has gone to his chosen maker.


India Cottage on Dovehouse Parade is now 'Indian Dreams' and is my favourite Indian restaurant. Fantastic food and service. With the added advantage that the old gaffer of The India Cottage isn't there any more. We used to cal him 'Mr Crumbly Hands'. He would stand other you asking how your food was whilst rubbing his eczema ridden hands over your food. A topping you definitely hadn't ordered. We used to end up there after away games. For some reason the one time I particularly remember was New Years Day 1992 after we played away at Norwich.

Apart from that pillock David O'Leary, has anybody ever done that?

Harold Redknapp.  He got slyly worded "I like the lad" type comments down to a fine art.

Saying you want to sign somebody though isn't the same as saying that you know somebody wants to join you.

Only O'Leary is that stupid.

Agreed.  O'Leary was an utter ****.

I think these bugs were called rats. And by the way both MI5 and 6 have replaced lemon juice with raspberry flavoured green tea.

Guess the deals this close to end of window are hectic, so only finalized will be tweeted

This is one of the issues with his tweeting. Because he's set the bar so high in terms of volume of tweets, now anything other than that will be pored over. If he ever has a serious break from it or a step down in activity there will be 'he's lost interest' and 'he disappeared when it got tough' posts before you can blink, as with the general.
