Feels like a bit of a missed opportunity, he obviously won't be able to play tonight but announcing it at midday for example could have drummed up a bit of excitement and maybe a few more POTD fans.

Can see what you are saying, personally quite like the HT reveals- think the club do too. Baldock, Baker, Paterson all HT unveilings in recentish times. Club could do a "come down to the gate to find out the latest signing" type thing to do both. Problem is too late in the day for any real effect from that now.

Seriously, even someone who hated football would find some of the stuff on here hilarious. It's priceless. Literally nothing gets past us. It's being reported that James has been seen being loaded into an Ambulance while wearing a straight jacket and shouting "Infamy, infamy, they've all got it infamy!"

Being in form (apparently) 2. Looking decent in a video (obviously applies to most) and most importantly 3. Our having apparently seen off interest from Lyon to land him. I'm excited just because it isn't Joe Mason, to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
