    Did someone say Robbo? On a serious note, it was very heartening to see what Dickinson did. He came right up to the line so we could see the whites of his eyes, took his time applauding and whilst doing so, shook his head as if to say "Sorry/I don't know what happened/It won't happen again". He's rapidly setting his stall out to become my new favourite player.

    Taken from the WML and written by a lady I think.

    There is an interview in vísir saying the new manager of Hartlepool wanted new footballers and Ármann Smári was not one of them http://epaper.visir.is/media/201108110000/pdf_online/1_40.pdf There is also report in mbl saying he is has had an operation on his back after being sent to Bergen by SK Brann, from their work in La Manga, This confuses me as he was with SK Brann many years ago. I think that is an error from mbl.

    Ármann Smári Björnsson hefur verið samningslaus síðan hann yfirgaf Hartlepool í lok síðustu leiktíðar. Ármann Smári hefur varið stórum hluta sumarsins hér á landi, æft sjálfur og haldið sér í standi. Hornfirðingurinn var einn fjölmargra sem fóru frá Hartlepool í maí.
    &#8222;Það kom nýr þjálfari sem var með sínar áherslur. Einhverjum líkaði það ekki og aðrir vildu fara því þeir voru ekkert að fá að spila hjá honum. Menn eru víst í þessu til þess,&#8220; segir Ármann Smári sem segir nýja þjálfarann hafa fengið til sín tíu leikmenn sem hafi spilað undir hans stjórn áður. &#8222;Ég sá fljótlega eftir að hann tók við að ég væri ekki að passa í myndina hjá honum. Ég fékk bara þá hugmynd að finna mér nýtt félag.&#8220;
    Sú spurning hlýtur að vakna hvort félög í Pepsi-deildinni hefðu ekki getað notast við krafta Ármanns Smára í sumar. Eyjamenn og Valsarar hafa átt í framherjavandræðum
    en ekkert félag stendur jafnilla og Fram sem hefur aðeins skorað sjö mörk í fjórtán leikjum.
    &#8222;Það var óvenju rólegt,&#8220; segir Ármann Smári spurður hvort íslensku félögin hafi reynt að fá hann til sín. Hann hafi enn hug á því að spila úti og sé að skoða sig um þar.
    Ármann Smári fór á dögunum til Svíþjóðar og æfði með Jónasi Guðna Sævarssyni og félögum í Halmstad. Félagið er í slæmum málum í deildinni, vermir botnsætið og virðist stefna í fall hjá félaginu.
    &#8222;Ég var þar í fjóra daga en æfði bara tvisvar. Það var frí hjá þeim og svo stuttu síðar skiptu þeir um þjálfara. Ég hef ekki heyrt neitt frá þeim,&#8220; segir Ármann Smári sem hefur gert allt klárt í Englandi fyrir væntanlegan flutning. Hvert svo sem hann verður.
    &#8222;Ég er búinn að pakka dótinu mínu í geymslugám. Það er klárt hvert sem ég fer. Það þarf bara að finna heimilisfang á gáminn,&#8220; segir Ármann léttur.
    Ólafur Garðarsson, umboðsmaður kappans, segist aðallega horfa til Norðurlandanna, Englands og Skotlands eftir nýju félagi. Ármann Smári segist myndu skoða allt sem kæmi upp en viðurkennir að aðstæður séu breyttar nú þegar hann sé kominn á fertugsaldurinn.
    &#8222;Þegar maður er komin með tvö börn og fjölskyldu þarf maður að skoða betur hvert maður vill fara,&#8220; sagði Hornfirðingurinn geðþekki.

    He did, i posted about it somewhere. He's a top bloke (as i said wherever it was lol)...he did it after the Derby game too. He is definitely becoming one of my favourites too..and before the game you can tell he's so up for it, he comes right over to us and does that "come oooon" fist thing...he's a little ferret! lol

    You will want this, it is interesting.

    Ármann Smári Björnsson has been without a club since he left his contract at Hartlepool last season. Ármann Smári has spent much of the summer in the country, training and keeping himself fit. Höfn man was one of many who left Hartlepool in May.
    "It was a new coach who had his priorities. Some did not like it and others want to go because they had nothing to play for with him. The players were like that," says Ármann Smári, "that said the new coach wanted to have his ten players who played under him before. I saw shortly after he assumed that I would not fit into the picture with him. I got the idea to find a new team."
    The question must arise whether teams in the Premier League, had not been able to use the powers Ármann Smári in summer. Eyjamenn and Valsarar have a striker problems, but no team is bad and as has only scored seven goals in fourteen games.
    "It was unusually quiet," says Ármann Smári asked whether Icelandic companies have tried to persuade him return. He was still interested in playing there and to see themselves there.
    Ármann recently went to Sweden and practiced with Jonah Gudni Sævarsson and the Halmstad team. The team is in bad shape in the league, warming the bottom position and appears to be heading for relegation.
    "I was there for four days, but practiced only twice. It was a holiday for them and they sacked the coach shortly afterwards. "I have not heard anything from them," says Ármann Smári hopes that everything runs smoothly in England for an expected transfer. Whenever that is.
    "I have to pack my stuff geymslugám. It is ready wherever I go. It just needs to find the address on the container," says Ármann lightly.
    Olaf Gardarsson, the striker's agent says he mainly looking to Scandinavia, England and Scotland, for a new team. Ármann Smári claims would see everything come up, but admits that the situation is changing now that he has come to thirties.
    "When you come with two kids and family you have to look more closely at where everyone wants to go," says the Höfn man, "and try to please them."

    Anyone looked at the Bazometer recently? He has gone very quiet, but so has the Chairman.

    Well I think we need someone in sooner rather than later after the last two games. But I have faith in SD!
