That's a great boost for us.

Now for some luck / sensible management from the 3 or 4 clubs we have key loanees from!

Stockport have confirmed that Villa will recall Louie Barry in January, though they are allowing him to play his final game at home to Birmingham on January 1st. Great sh*t housing.

I'd take 0-0 in that one!

Hear big Ange is hoping to to take him to spurs

Can we have a quick whipround to send Ryan to Crawley tomorrow?

I think that happened a while back when that lynch mob went after that paediatrician.

That was in (checks notes)....Portsmouth

And Tony Cottey played first class cricket for Sussex that year too.

I had to look that one up…. This is how it happened: Tony Cottee once played in all four divisions in one season. Cottee started 2000-01 at Leicester City, where he made a couple of Premiership appearances as a sub before being released to Norwich, in what was then Division One. In November the chance to be player-manager of Barnet came up and soon Cottee was playing in Division Three, but alas it did not work out. By March he was again looking for work and found it, with two sub appearances, at Millwall in Division Two.

Surely for professionals it's never been easier to look things up online, probably some over reliance on the spell checker.

We have a little chuckle on here at little errors or grammatical gufferations but they don't really matter in an informal setting.

But the amount of people you deal with professionally who don't know the basics is worrying.
