Romey 1878 Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Your surgical corset will have definately split after watching them yesterday Was laughing at Wises comments after the game about Luton trying to sign his captain. What did he say? I know he's apparently stripped him of the captaincy because he's said he wants to go back there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
