Frogfish is a plank.

They've all learnt Roland Barthes' advice on the reality effect - namely, for things like times, go for something like 2.53pm or 2.51pm rather than 2.50pm because it has less of a neat sign of authorial artifice about it. So these footie reports have started to eschew the good old round numbers like £80m or £100m and instead we're getting more 'authentic' sounding sums like £93m, or £82.4m - 'Cor, if they reached such a weirdly SPECIFIC figure as that it must really have happened!'

It was the GBP equivalent to an amount in EUR, wasn't it?

I mean, its definitely bullocks, but I don't think they've quite applied the chaos theory to it.
 
They've started doing it in pounds, too. Figures plucked out of the air. Sometimes with unnammed 'add ons;' to make it sound really exciting.
 
I usually follow this guide with regards to credability:

Maddock writes for the Mirror, so is the very reliable or very unreliable. Does he just cancel himself out?
 
If it was 2 months ago yeah.

Now it depends on what deals we have ready to go.
Thats what it all comes down to really, faith in whether we can replace him with the money provided. We could have five years to prepare, I still wouldn't trust us to do it right.
 
Can we not close this thread and continue the discussion in the other thread?
 
We should use the next 10 months well then, as it will be tougher to keep him next summer.

He wont leave in this transfer window.
 
Couldn't agree more. A sizable fucking plank at that.

There are comments made in jest (though with an element of truth) and there are those that are pure cuntish not based in banter. No surprise then that yours is the later being the utter stupid twat that you are.
