[QUOTE=Wee Bairn] I bet Benjani is really kicking himself right now- leaves for a bigger club, supposedly to get the chance at playing for cups and in Europe, and its the club he left that will be doing both of those things. And he’s not scoring either. [/QUOTE] I doubt he’s all that bothered to be honest, next season will be OUR season mark my words. BTW He scored a goal that mattered…against the rags 😃 ---

**chowder** - you’re thinking of Will Haining. We let him go last year, he’s currently at St Mirren. Hopefully next season it’ll be our players, not their WAGs, that are making names - keep an eye out for Kelvin Lomax, Paul Black and Lewis Alessandra (in addition to Neal Eardley and Chris Taylor, who’ve had bigger clubs blowing them kisses for a while now). ---

[/QUOTE] That’s him, the spawny wazzak. Being married to her I’m surprised he’s got the bloody energy to run about for 90+ minutes. It has to be said and I apologise for it but I’ve never heard of those guys you mention :smack: ---

When I was a postie I delivered to a very posh area in Bowdon and Hale, Cheshire. Anyway, I’m pressin Teddy Sherringhams intercom and Denis Irwin drives up. ME. "“I know you” DI. “Really?” ME. “Yes, you’re Roy Keane” DI. “I fucking well am not” ME. Points to Man City badge in lapel and sniggers DI. “Nice one…I’m Denis Irwin” ME. “I know that, I was winding you up” * * * Of all the footie players I delivered to Teddy has to be the nicest of the lot and boy he had some fit chicks [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-fa-cup-final/444312.md?page=2)
