Conor Hourihane - thanks and farewell

[The Edge]

Something doesn't seem right here. What's the hold up? It smells to me like Barnsley have other clubs sniffing around and are holding out for more money. If this deals not done today I don't think it will happen.

Players hold all the cards these days. Sounds like Hourihane has made his mind up to join Villa. You can't always force players to play for another club. Dr Xia says 99% done.

Hope your right bud. I love Tony's tweets but I'm a bit confused as to who he's referring to sometimes. Maths not my strongest point. I'm not very good at england either come to think of it.

Is your name Bob Mansfield or are you Robert of Mansfield? That's the big question for me.

Hourihane will join as soon as he can grow a lovely beard.

That's all our medicals involve now. Doctors measuring beards with calipers.

Alex Cropley was an outstanding player and Stuart Gray was a very good one.

Yes Stuart was a clean tidy efficient midfielder, on the other hand, Alex was pure class.

Mebbe BOB meant Alan Curbishley.

Nah, he was more likely to be thinking of Dennis Mortimer. What a waste of space he was!

Barnsley boss says he's planning his team for the weekend without CH as he closes in on a move to us

Dennis Mortimer, I had forgotten all about him.  Hell we have had some crap players through our club.  That smiley one from Tobago, forget his name.  Couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat.

Good.

I wouldn't worry Brian - since most of us wouldn't even remember what games he played in during his time taking the piss at VP. And don't get me started on that charlatan Andy Gray. Yeeesh...

We certainly have! Remember that skinny kid with the long black hair in the '70s? Brian somebody.  Absolute rubbish!  Couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo!

[eamonn]

I was certainly happy with these two, but if you wanted someone launched into row F Eammon Deacy was your man!

Is your name Bob Mansfield or are you Robert of Mansfield? That's the big question for me.

Were you on the train from Sheffield to London for the FA Cup semi final and also go to watch Mansfield Town?
