    In Patty's fantasy he is in Texas, but we all know he works on the night shift stacking the shelves in Tesco somewhere in the UK.

    Of course, the steak knives come with an honorary Canuck title though so make sure to end every sentence with " eh?".

    One has to wonder, he never talks about all his guns, his giant 10 gallon hat, how much bigger everything of his is than yours or his mistaken belief that Texas barbecue is the best.

    They do. My concern is the lack of goals while on loan but obviously Arsenal think he is going to come good. I wish people making these videos would compile all someone's goal scoring chances as opposed to all the ones that succeeded. It would make YouTube a much more realistic look into someone's ability.

    That video does have some missed chances lol, and instances where he hasn't scored but has been involved in the build up. I like how deep he can receive the ball and work his way up the field himself, creating space with his feet.

    I joined an American Barbecue site looking for a manual on a small barbecue/oven I had bought. My in-box was chocka the following morning and I have found that Americans love to help and give advice. One asked me for Australian Barbecue Recipes and when I said we just chuck a steak on the barbie and slap some tomato sauce on it when it was done they nearly threw up. They suggested I soak them in wine in the fridge for 24 hours and gave me recipes for a million kinds of sauce and I realized that this is a serious subject in the US of A where they take their barbecuing very seriously. Some sent photo's of their barbecues which closely resembled that robot from 'Lost in Space' and I swear with a little 'choke' they could take off and land on the moon.

    It listed decisions as his problem area. That's also the same thing the arsenal fan said to us from what I remember earlier in the day. It's a little of a concern that the video also agrees with him.

    Video also says that finishing is his strength. I think everyone's going to have a weakness, and the whole point of this loan is to give him experience so he can improve his decision making. Decision making is probably the best 'weakness' to have, as it's the easiest to improve. Finishing, composure, pace, all that sort of stuff is very difficult to improve.

    It's a huge deal here for sure and you can literally get into a fight over the discussion. In my opinion the best Barbecue is in Memphis Tennessee but your choice tends to say more about where you are from. Tennesee, Texas, Missouri and Kanssas are the big ones.

    Yea although I'm sure we would all prefer that rather than develop with us he takes off and scores bucket loads. I think a proper strike partner is key, someone who can take the pressure off him and allow him to be comfortable. Jelly being experienced and older would probably be best one would think.

    I too have found Americans to be particularly friendly and helpful. Specially in New York.

    Burnsey just tweeted

    Whisper that @hullcity might,and I say might, have an interest in Chicago Fire and ex Celtic, Villa, Wigan, striker Shaun Maloney. #hcafc

    Would be a decent signing

    Kinell, Burnsey's turned into Foghorn Leghorn.

    In Twitter form, I say, in Twitter form.

    Oh no, we aren't going to actually sign someone from the MLS are we? Ellewoods has been banging on about that for years!

    Taken from Sky............

    HERNANDEZ HEADING TO SERIE A?

    Serie A side Torino have made another bid to sign Hull City forwardAbel Hernandez, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

    The Italian club are looking to sign the Uruguayan on loan with the view to a permanent deal next summer.

    Hernandez only joined Hull a year ago but scored just four times as the Tigers were relegated.

    Seems they have also picked up on this now.........

    Some of the guys on my 5-aside teal would have been screaming at him for not passing and showboating when there was a player in space!
    Some talent though :)
