WE at the White House meeting Biden with the Bucks.

Is he asking him if he was that mystery fart guy in the Holte end?

That mystery was settled years ago, everybody knows it was Chris Harte.

Whereabouts was this? I only ask because I regularly used a friend's brother's season ticket in the Upper Holte about 15 years ago, and one bloke near me was actually escorted out by the stewards because his noxious farts were causing arguments.

I got the blame for this on the "he who smealt it dealt it" principle. It was back in around 2005 and I was in the Lower Holte at the time.

Chris Harte like to fart!

Sorry, I couldn’t resist that.....

The incident I detailed was 2005 as well.

So either the stench from the flatulent bloke near me wafted down and you got the blame; or your guff travelled into the Upper Holte and got some poor bloke kicked out.

Or there are multiple people turning up to VP and farting. Which is the most disturbing possibility of all.

You’ve seen the breakfast thread, the answer is clear.

Haha! I'd hoped the heroic consumption of balti pies near me whenever I go to a game indicated that most people choose a light breakfast.

I have to admit, when I started that thread all those years ago I never imagined people would still be talking about it all these years later.

There's a thread dedicated to identifying the mystery farter of the Lower Holte?!

Have you heard about this guy who was African and reversed a car....

Or Andrew Greaves......

Putting aside Gerrard's suitability for the job for a second, the thing i'm worried about what this means for investment in the team. His record up there shows he's used to making do with very little in funds, so frankly even a third of what we've spent this summer would be a huge upgrade for him. Are they going to back him as an "upgrade" to Smith to take us to the next level , or is he mainly a Commercial/P.R. appointment, where his profile should make deals easier to make and we're still going down the "sell your best player and try and replace him and another 5 players with the money" route. I just hope he has the clout to get the funds and January will be interesting. If he's looking around for a midfielder on loan then we know all the talk about ambition was hollow.

This has been nagging at me since the summer. It might be unfounded and just my faith in disappointment regarding Villa, but there you go.

The alarm bells will certainly ring if he starts signing Rangers players/Liverpool rejects and loans in Liverpool youngsters ahead of playing our youth.  If that starts happening it'll be clear NSWE have lost the plot and their plan is finished before it really began.

[Risso]

I think that's very unlikely. He'll want to do well with his first job in England, and will want assurances of being able to compete.

[Rigadon]

The scars Lerner's retreat left are difficult to ignore. 

[SoccerHQ]

Nothing wrong with signing the odd Rangers player, someone like Glen Kamara looked decent for Finland at euros and is more physical DM than what we have so he could do a job for us on short term basis.

If he wants 3-4 of them then I don't understand logic as they wouldn't be good enough in long term to get us top 6, Morelos isn't better than Ings or Watkins and he'd cost 20m + for instance.

[Towser]

I would take Ryan Kent

Isn't that why Lange does not report to the head coach? - precisely to ensure a balanced and strategic approach to incoming players is maintained?
