No. I meant Corfu. It was on the beach in Acharavi, in the place I got a taste for Mythos whilst all the locals were drinking Amstel.Can imagine the reaction in Cyprus being even worse.

Just alongside the Kykkos monastery in Cyprus, where Makarios is buried, I observed the following exchange between a Cypriot market trader and a rather unaware British wifey.


Can I have some of that Turkish Delight please?

It's Cyprus Delight.

Looks like Turkish Delight to me.

No, it's Cyprus Delight. Loukoumi. It's Greek not Turkish.

Well we call it Turkish Delight.

Well it's not.


Pause...


Well does it taste like Turkish Delight?

I don't know I've never tasted Turkish Delight.


Pause...


So this is Cyprus Delight?

Yes.


Pause...


OK. I'll have some.


Transaction followed somewhat frostily.


Wifey samples Cyprus Delight.


(To Husband) That's bloody Turkish Delight, that is. She needs to re-label that.
 
Based on Darnboroughs results so far, he's failed miserably other than in all probability having towed the line and delivered to date everything within budget and cash flow. Bl**dy hell man, deliver us some quality NOT quantity!!!

I'd take two quality loan signings over four bang average signings all day as matters stand
I agree , we don't just need bodies to sit on the bench . We need players to go straight into the 11

He doesn't seem so **** now does he.

I always liked him in all honesty. Not prolific but an absolute grafter. I can forgive a lack of skill and talent if a player gives 100% on the pitch - Dio gave that. Some of our shirkers at the present don’t and lack of effort and application is catching. If you have a player that puts in the effort it can be infectious and make other players put in the same level of effort.

I’d take that every time at the moment.

Dicko or Dio?

How much of an upgrade did we get for that 3 mil.

Should have just stuck with Dio and put that 3 mil in the Allam **** off fund.
 
‘BREAKING NEWS’........
A PLAYER COULD SIGN THIS AFTERNOON.......BUT THEY MIGHT NOT SIGN THIS AFTERNOON ASWELL....
 
Surely the manager knows what the budget is so should be able to confirm incomings as he is speaking to the players aswell?
If Adkins has very little say in who comes in what the **** is he doing sticking with a job he has no chance of succeeding in.
Also talking riddles this afternoon helps nobody either sign players or be honest and say we don't have the funds and this is the group of players we have.
We know that's the case that we have no money for players until the Allams go.

When your second bid is lower than your first you've no chance of signing anyone.

If Rehab bucks the trend get ready for players who are young/inexperienced, old/over the top or have off the field personal/social problems. This club has more than it's fair share of the latter category.
