    Oh dear! If you bother to read the link I provided, you'll see that that figure includes many performance related add-ons, few, if any of which have been triggered. The actual figure paid up front was less than half that amount.

    Because you were £97m in debt you Plum. If you weren't bailed out by sugar daddy and a **** chairman came in without the money then it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out would have happened.

    As for Ozil and the rest of the Arsenal players, are you claiming that they won't win a CL medal in their lifetime at Arsenal ?

    Serious question. Do you know how much Spurs have paid for Soldado (inc add ons) as I read today that he might be sold to a La Liga team for as little as £11m

    Do any of us really know what was paid for a player unless the club announce it? which they rarely do.

    The story from the Independant sounds more like the way many transfers are done nowadays. I expect that had all performance targets been met, then £27mil may well have been the total figure. But, for some reason, a guy who was scoring for fun in La Liga, can't hit a cow's arse over here!...

    I can't see him being let go in Jan, unless there's a replacement coming in. Let's face it, we're not exactly brimming with capable strikers. If Kane gets injured, we're basically ****ed.

    You are, but what do you do ? Hang on to the useless Adebayor and Soldado or ship them out when you can ? Kane looks like a top quality player, but he's had half a good season and hasn't proved anything yet. You are relying on him through necessity really, but like you say if he gets injured or loses form then think you're screwed, because to be fair he has hauled your asses out of some trouble this season.

    I don't think we've got much choice. Nobody else wants the lazy, overpaid ****er. I'd love to get rid of him but nobody is going to take him on his reported wages.

    It's almost as if you set up that entire post to have this pop!

    PESKIE's conversation with the postman, this morning:-

    Postman: [trying desperately not to catch PESKIE's eye, because he knows what the chump is like] "Your post, mate."

    [Postman quickly turns on his heels and tries to have it away a bit lively]

    PESKIE: [shouting] "It's bloody cold this morning!"

    [Postman, with back to PESKIE, closes his eyes and gulps, heaves a heavy sigh, and turns to faces PESKIE]

    Postman: "Yes, it is, sir. Very cold."

    [Postman is about to turn and leave for a second time, but...]

    PESKIE: [quickly and with desperation] "Yeah, I was only saying to my mum last night that she needs to put a little fire in the closet. It's brass monkeys in there, of an evening!"

    [Postman nods his head, waiting for the inevitable]

    Postman: "That's a very sound idea, sir.

    [The postman wants this to be over, now]

    PESKIE: [with a real sense of urgency] "It's no fun, sitting alone in a dark closet, when it's that cold."

    Postman: "Look, sir... I have to be on my way as I have a lot of...."

    PESKIE: "Mind you, I do keep myself warm by laughing a lot."

    [Postman has had enough, he knows what's coming next. He turns and quickly walks away]

    PESKIE: [shouting at the top of his voice] "I'm laughing at HIAG!"

    [Postman is now running]

    PESKIE: [screaming at the top of his voice like a madman]"Did you hear that? I'm laughing at HIAG!"

    Postman: [with fear in his voice] "Leave me alone, you demented prick!"

    ...all the while, HIAG sat in his rusting Ford Transit on the corner of Peskie's street, clothes dishevelled and a little worse for wear after a cold, sleepless night with nothing for company except a half bottle of Bells and a packet of Rothmans. Finally, with his camcorder in hand he records the incident, and licking his eyebrows, he pens his latest comic contribution for Not606 . <laugh>

    Is that supposed to constitute a reply of sorts? Or are you still just wrapped up in laughing at your own "jokes"?

  13. And what a contribution it is!

    I'm hoping the BBC will pick this up.

    Johnny Vegas can play PEKIE.

    No that really IS his response. It's playground talk for "I have no response" usually followed by "nuh nuh nu nu nuhhhh"

    I think it should be two laughing smileys actually. It just doesn't look authentic with only the one.....

    And you Hiag, Graham Norton perhaps?

  19. I'm not in it, Ozzie.

    You really do need to read the sketch to understand what's going on, mate.

    If the Beeb wanted to run with a series, they could call it, "Waiting For HIAG."

    PESKIE (played by Johnny Vegas) spends 6 entire episodes boring people with his stories of the mysterious HIAG. I never show up, and the suspicion begins to grow in the minds of the viewer that I am, actually, nothing more than a figment of PESKIE's increasingly delusional imagination. The scenes in the closet - which will quickly establish themselves as viewers' favourites - will be particularly hilarious, as we watch Johnny Vegas beating himself off whilst quoting killer lines from many of my superb postings. His catchphrase - "Mummy! I need more tissues!" - will probably win some kind of comedy award.

    The only deluded figment of imagination here is HIAGs claim to be funny.

    In a parallel dimension he lives the life he imagines on here. In reality he lives his life on here <laugh>
