Birkir Bjarnason - Released

[BOB MANSFIELD]

Where to? The barbers ?

[olaftab]

Just a hunch, Jedinak to go?

I fear not. He is on a long contract and as we have discovered you just can't move players on easily.

[BOB MANSFIELD]

I see a touch of Viggo Mortensen in his beguiling Nordic visage, personally. A true leader of men... and Hobbitses.

While I'm excited by this signing, I hope it doesn't encourage any of our number to start doing the stupid Icelandic clappy thing.

Well, maybe Footyskillz.

I'm not joining in, anyway.

He has an impressive record in a decent Basel team. If we get Houlihane in to add to him and Lansbury, our midfield will be involved beyond recognition since the New Year. They've identified our number one problem and addressed it (assuming these deals go through).

Fair play.

Competition in midfeld and no pointy or gardner

Very happy days

Aye, it certainly sounds promising. I remember this lad from The Euros - & he runs for fun. Did he score a goal in the tournament, or am I imagining things? Anyway, fair play indeed to the recruitment bods for bringing him to B6.

Scored against Portugal and France in Euro 2016. Reminds me too much of Robbie Savage to be able to like him yet though.

Aha. Cheers Bob, but not for the Savage-a-like bit. I'll have to watch Dion sticking the nut on the tosser now to see meself right before bedtime.

It's ok I only get to a few of the London matches and they won't be in away end

Reminds me of the friendly I went to in Portland a few years back.

In the middle of the game, in a sea of loud Timbers fans, a lone Villa fan stood up, hands outstretched and belted out "VILLA! VILLA! VILLA!" in a perfect moment as thousands of heads around him turned and stared.

I would applaud you for doing the same footy!

Watching this video I can't help but think that all the goal keepers have been drugged.

In the opening frames the header he missed was closer than everything offered by Tonev and 98% of Westwood's attempts. Thus he looks ace. Long hair, beard, Nordic, what's there not to love?

[Smoke]

I fear for whomever has to clean the drains in the bmh showers with all these hairy types.

Is it a red flag when his show reel has a missed header as a highlight?

Didn't just miss either, missed by a mile. I am also a big fan of televised games with vehicles parked next to the pitch.

i might be remembering this wrong but i went with a mate to watch chelsea v Swindon in a cup match at SB early 90's and pretty sure there were cars parked down the end opposite the shed- mainly the little blue 3-wheelers. We went to get stewarding jobs and I only went cos i thought they were playing Liverpool. Turned out there were no jobs, so we just walked back in through the open gates and sat right in the middle of the east stand. Paul Elliot walked right past me at half time.

[Scratchins]

The ticket office used to have a photo of John Greenfield's car parked behind the goal. When he arrived at Stamford Bridge the stewards kept pointing (no it wasn't Westwood!) where to go and he ended up there.

At last a player with the same hairstyle as me!!!
