We seem to be in that in between land at present, we being football supporters in the north east, indeed the main activity is down in the land of the smog monster and their activity in bringing in players. Up the road in the land of the unwashed, French, giro boy and Gregg munchers they speak excitedly of Remy, Kazan, Debuchy, Mandy and a man they call Curtis. Here at the land of the sun, well toned bronzed beauties and good looking men we don't need shoddy journalism from The Sun, Starr, Mirror or even the Journal, we know the ITK's, we have twitter. I know we can believe the tweets because they come from men like Short and O'Neill, I know its them because they have their pictures there for all to see, proof indeed. We know we can expect the imminent announcement of those great signings, signings that will set us apart form the Smogs and the Mags, name like.. Llorente Seydou Doumbia Aruna Kone Steven Pienaar Barry Bannan Collins not forgetting Fletcher, I forgot him. So going off all I have read on these pages my confidence is high, we will again be top dogs, the title is not out of the question. Now don't you go and spoil it by saying its all bollocks.
