StevO Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 There aren't many of us who have been here so long Haf. I'm one of the few who tend to agree with you, half the time anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avinalaff Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Can I just say I think I made my 5000 post on this thread, I got so carried away I've now hit 5050, but I wanted to announce it with some sort of "there you go proved you wrong you tit, by the way been here's since 2004 and posted more than you so ner ner" Been a pleasure in all honesty, thanks for not banning me for being right all the time!!! (Just kidding, I know I'm a grump) Congratulations on your best post so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Wigan have agreed a fee with Norwich for Grant Holt, medical tomorrow. Must be a sign the Kone deal is done? https://twitter.com/LukeReddy/status/353901935033720832 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 has anyone heard anything on this move yet? Seems to have gone real quiet after his supposed medical. wish we could just get it done and move onto our next target. Quinn31 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avinalaff Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 its normal for a paper to right the story the day before isnt it? Only if it's wrong ha ha ..... Seriously though, it's not hard for them to make out it's fresh news by writing 'today'. It seems to cover their ass a bit by simply putting Monday. Sell papers and get hits that way.

I eventually let her out into the garden after a night of in / out / feed me / stroke me etc, and I hear crying outside the bedroom window. I open the curtain and she's climbed the tree and walked along a branch right outside the window to wake me up again. :shaking fist: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 An extra player in the squad, who isnt untried, can only help. It would be nice to have a bench full of first team players rather than kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
