Not sure but I think what it boils down to is that Autocorrect on the modern mobile telephone has led to a boon in H&V puns.

Just looked at all the transfers this window and with the exception of a couple that were out of our league, there is nobody that I think would have improved the situation.

The January window as slow as ever!

Pity the recruitment team didn't realise that last August.

We have a real chance of staying up. Two huge games coming up - I cannot understand the delay. In 2016, it was fairly clear we were doomed - but still unforgivable to wave the white flag as we did.

I do not understand what we are playing at this time.

There is obviously something holding the deal up and it might not necessarily be our fault.
