We've signed a young French kid called Dimitri Sea only 16 so clearly one for the future. The internet knows nothing about him so he's a young attacking player, that's about it.

Whether he holds down a plaice will depend on the service he gets to net a few.  As a  French philosopher once said: "When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea."

We will now lose the Playoff final on penalties, Dimitri missing the crucial kick.

Sun headline: seasick steve.




Poor but I had to have my input.

The Sun say we're interested in Peter Crouch, but Tony has denied it. Pity it would be great to have Rodney Otter return to us.

no it wouldn't, unless we re entering a wheelchair football league. He's now about 90. The only good thing about Crouch was his reply to the question 'What would you have been if you weren't a footballer'? Crouch: 'A virgin'.

Crouch might be a good option.  Up front we'd have the Old Man and the Sea.

Burnley have put a Cork in it, presumably reducing the competition for Whelan / MacArthur

I never really saw the fuss with MacArthur or McCarthy, but I know others liked him

Isn't one of those Mac or McC's a walking red card waiting to happen?
