These threads always interest me only to consistently disappoint with the same old rubbish. Lets just get some things clear.
1. Blooms wealth does not come from Premierbet. It was a loss making company when he sold it around 2005 for around £1 million.
2. Blooms wealth does not come form poker...
The correct answer by a long way is Alfred Shrubb from Sussex by the Sea.
Alfred "Alfie" Shrubb (12 December 1879 – 23 April 1964) was an English middle and long distance runner. During an amateur career lasting from 1899 to 1905 (when he was barred from amateur competition for receiving...
Although Burke may have signed him, Barber said at the Holbrook fans forum that he had a deal agreed for COG to recover the money we paid for him. Hughton vetoed this as he said he would get the best out of him. I think this was around the time he had a couple of decent games. Anyway, in...
Labyrinth by Ravensburger, Has won lots of awards. Super easy to learn. Looks initially like its based largely on luck but the more you play the more you realise how tactical it is. Also Ticket to Ride is excellent.
Lots of parking in the industrial estate just up from the ground on the other side of the A23 going back up to the Pease Pottage roundabout (10 min walk). Also there is some on the same side as the football ground but gets busier earlier.
Completely pointless signing and indicative of why our wage bill is so high. Why we need four keepers competing for one place is completely beyond me particularly as Stockdale seemed undroppable last season no matter how he performed. Keep it simple stupid (Hughton). Casper should have gone and...
When was the last time we had a fully fit squad? It must be prior to Crofts first cruciate injury and then we had Buckley, Lua Lua and Vicente taking it in turns on the treatment table. It's a guess but its probably 3 years at least.
On the plus side:
We've signed a striker.
He looks two footed
He can head the ball
He has played at the top level in Spain.
On the negative side;
His goalscoring record is not great.
Although there are some good teams in the Spanish and Israeli top divisions - there is a lot of rubbish as well.

We had already highlighted this one to Bloom, Barber and Hughton. Will be interesting to see how he goes in League 1.
If I was a scout, I would probably not talk to other scouts about a player I was scouting, and if I did, my opinion would be the complete opposite of what I was really thinking. Therefore if scouts are saying they don't rate him, they obviously do. He is clearly worth 4 million at least. He is...
Joe 'The Goal' Gormley.
172 goals in 194 games in last 5 years.
Only 24.
We could afford him.
Ready made nickname.
Suspect he would have got more goals than our entire strike force if he had played for us last season.
What's not to like.
How about leave the political union but remain part of the free trade area. I think that is what we originally voted on in 1975 - "Do you think the UK should stay in the European Community (Common Market)?"
