"Some people don't like transfer deadline day, but then unlike us some people don't like excitement in their lives." Jim White
yawn, why do people write such rubbish? Erm i think it was rubbish i only read the first paragraph.......of a hundred. Reading a copy of Readers Digest in the Dentists waiting room would be more enjoyable than that dross. Ohhh look, a football supporter who can use words with more than four sillyballs, how we have evolved from the football violence days the 70's & 80's.
Transfer Deadline Day: make it a national holiday! Transfer deadline day is like a soap opera for football fans, except it's about million times more entertaining (50 million where Torres was concerned) and with far less Ian Beale. If Charles Dickens was around today, he'd sack off Christmas, have Ebeneezer Scrooge open up his window and when he asks that little lad across the road, "What day is this?" the response would be, "Why, it's Transfer Deadline Day of course!" Yes, we bloody love it and here's why… 1. It's possible to watch Sky Sports News for hours on end without the same story popping up again and again and again. Who needs to look at the Scottish Second Division table on the right-hand side when there's news just in that some foreign bloke may or may not be having a medical somewhere! 2. Harry Redknapp drives in and out of Tottenham's training ground speaking to reporters out of his car window, in between categorically not being a 'wheeler dealer' and completing five transfer in the last hour. 3. You can tweet the most implausible rumour – "My cousin's mate's nephew's brother was on the A5183 and saw Kaka coming from the direction of Luton Airport. Definitely signing for Norwich" – and it'll be probably mentioned be on a transfer ticker before you can scream 'BREAKING NEWS!' 4. Attractive female sports presenters get flustered on a regular basis. A beautiful woman who gets excited about Bradford trying to sign a former Burnley defender? That's living the dream. 5. The countdown clock. Counting down to the New Year is old hat now we've got the Transfer Deadline Day countdown. Just four hours, six minutes and three seconds for Bournemouth to sign a striker! Come on! 6. You get to hear reporters excitably saying ridiculous lines like, "I can confirm Peter Crouch's dad is on his way to Stoke City's training ground!" while a mob with nothing better to do assemble behind for the cameras and let out a roar as if they've just signed Lionel Messi. 7. Speaking of which, a helicopter hovering above your head suddenly has the potential to be Lionel Messi flying in for a medical. In fact, any kind of transport you see, hear or even smell has the potential to be carrying a player to a major move, somewhere. Anywhere! 8. You can skive off work and sit in your pants all day awaiting news on that Ligue Un player you've never heard of joining your club. Who cares how much it will cost the economy… it's bloomin' Transfer Deadline Day! 9. Football clubs use fax machines to complete deals. In 2011. FAX MACHINES! 10. There's always a chance El-Hadji Diouf will leave the country for good. Why do you love Transfer Deadline Day?
