Fatwax Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 On his day, that player is unplayable. ..when the transfer window slams shut. (I fucking loathe that saying) When people call youngish footballers, like 23-25 year olds 'lads' even though they're younger than the player they're describing.
