You've calmed down from your palpitations over the past few months :wink:
You may come back to me if Baldock pulls a hamstring (or something similar) at Birmingham, QPR or Cardiff. Which is another way of saying: only three more games to go.

I'm amazed the club played the 'we won't get screwed over on injuries' card, and has got away with it.
In a parallel universe I can see the worlds most frustrating half a season, where the only highlight is we're all making money betting on 0-0.

Fingers crossed everything is in place for 01.01.17, so on 02.01.17 the club tweets out a picture of empty offices saying 'the transfer window is closed'.

If you google this song there are many references to both Mud and an Elvis version.
That's a common mistake many people make, assuming that because something's on the internet it must be true. A bit like "Fake News".
If there is an Elvis version I challenge you to find it. I bet you can't.
Here's an "Elvis version" on Youtube to start you off. Not Elvis, Mud. This was even posted by a supposed Elvis fan judging by their name and has had over 6 million views. That's how misinformation spreads so easily on the internet

Some comment on Twitter that we are re-signing Texeira with a view to a permanent.
Put the poster on your ignore list. Someone posted a link here to an article to that effect from 2 years ago.

I've heard the lead singer of Mud say that the song was originally written for Elvis , but unfortunately he died so the song was given to Mud.

Mud sang it Christmas 1974. Elvis died 1977.

Pedant alert!:lolol: Well it was written with Elvis in mind, maybe he didn't want it, but he certainly never recorded it.

The song was written by Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman who wrote a string of hits for various artists but never for Elvis. That and the fact Elvis died 3 years after the song was released!!!!

Thanks for letting me know that again. It's been nearly half an hour since I was told and I was beginning to forget!

What instruction is that then? - Yes Jamie has played well and I am pleased to see it. I thought he was going to drift out of the squad early season when he was playing in the Cap One cup games but he has come back strong

If I were to give you the instruction FO, you just might be offended (this might also say something about my online persona).

The article wasn't from 2 years ago. It was mistranslated with "20th" really being "2nd".

Yup. That's exactly how I want it. And wouldn't be too surprised if it happens either.

Yes but no matter how shut the offices are, posters will still be saying Dale Stephens is off to Burnley right up to 31.01.17.

Oh ok, my mistake. Well, they're mistake first I guess :)

Classic NSC.

An article from a Dutch football magazine about one of our players leads to an argument as to whether a song by Mud was ever recorded by Elvis Presley!

Oh, and I don't want to sound mildly racist, but I do hope we steer well clear of any more Dutch/Eredivisie players.
