    Everton will never pay the agent's fee, Bill Kenwright isn't that daft.

    Please, please, please..! After this transfer has settled one way or the other, can we have an end to Saint [insert footballer's name] posts..? Just put the player's name in the title. Looking at that Saint Victor title every day is making me nauseous.

    Well that would be daft as it would mean the odds would always be stacked in favour of the bookmaker, rather than nearly always as they are now ;)

    No, TSS! If this comes off, we'll be on a 67% success rate for Saint X threads which is a great record! I'm still holding out for the Saint Leandro thread.

    Obviously I was a little too obscure. Basically, I'm saying that you'll never find me going into a bookmakers to bet.

    If it doesn't then 33% is unacceptable and we'll need to keep trying until we get to a more respectable total.

    Well, TSS, (a) you seem to be the only person made nauseous by them, and (b) as a mod, you can always change them to something else!

    Probably not. He might be bothered if you felt nauseated.

    What are you guys on about? "Nauseous" is perfectly correct.

    Not quite. The title is nauseous and it makes him nauseated.

    Well, it appears the usage is 'disputed', but these days it's more commonly used to mean afflicted by nausea and is prescribed as such in the OED. So the title is nauseous and it makes him nauseous.

    I know, it doesn't make sense, but I don't make the rules.

    In fact, according to the OED the original meaning was 'inclined to nausea' which oddly is closer to (though not synonymous with) the more modern meaning.

    Does anyone know when saints leave for Spain as I suspect Poch would like him on that plane if he is joining or at least meeting it at the airport when it lands?
