Something in the water perhaps......

*mutters something about £18M goalkeepers*

I'm waiting for the Echo to do an expose on you next.

Cover: £18M in big black writing- the £1 over a face of Mr. Snockerty Friedel, and the 8M over a face of Mr. Brad Friddle...

Mr. Snockerty Friedel, recently appointed manager at Leeds Utd......

...who will be paying 246 million pounds in compensation to "The Ghost of Peter Reid FC"

Leeds chairman Prof. reg Holdsworth said "we believe he is worth it. Incidentally, we're selling the first team squad, and I've just had a word with the president of Luxembourgh who is lending me the entire national bank in order that we can pay off this months "manger compensation fees"

oh, and desky- once you score, it moves the freekick for the next level.

That was a reply to a posting way back at the start of the thread, incidentally.
