Google Translation so sorry but you get the jist.
The HBA transfer saga rates as one of the most frustrating, exciting, daft, bizarre threads ever to grace this forum.
If we'd been a 'big club' and Hatem had a bigger rep outside of France it would've been the stuff of dreams for Sky Sports News. Would've finally have Jim White a heart attack. Shame.
Still loved the chants:
'Joe Kinnears Black and White Army, fuck, shit, wank, cunt, Joe Kinnears Black and White....'
'Joe Kinnear....he's got tourettes. FUCK. Joe Kinnear...he's got tourettes. SHIT.' etc'
So basically the borehole will have paid for Rob Elliott.
In all seriousness, it's a pretty good thing we've done. If every major sports team did something like this it would have a pretty big impact.
If we take Shola, give him some apples and put him on a bike hooked up to a generator the club can save massively on it's energy costs.
Have to feed him apples though, and the current cost is a bit pricey.
On a sidenote, the borehole joke from last summer actually has some substance:

FWIW, reading those Pardew quotes he's obviously not dealing with any aspect of it, clearly wants the player but is leaving it to Dekka to sort out. Too much being read into it.
Nah wont know until August if they are at home, thankfully going to see the parents for 9 days in total so have the opportunity for both games...fingers crossed!
Yup, hit lucky there mate.
I honestly think it's spot on. With the added European competition (if we get through the qualifier) 8th is realistic in my eyes. If we get more people in and hit lucky with injuries, perhaps further up the league.
