Slim

Done

From snooping around Google it seems he was part of the Feyenoord youth squad that won the Dutch youth cup last month and has been released. Might be worth a punt.

It's nae him:

Wikipedia was talking shit about Davids, looks like he's been a regular for them this season: http://www.nec-nijmegen.nl/layout.php?p=4&SpelerID=1194

This one sounds utter gash: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertrand_Bossu

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorenzo_Davids Dutch U21 international, played 15 games for NEC Nijmegen this season.

Gavin Williams has been told he is free to leave Ipswich. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gavin_Williams I remember seeing him years ago playing for Hereford in the FA Cup and tore his marker to shreds down the wing. Seen him play a few times since then and always looked a menace with the ball at his feet. From reading the link above, he seems to be a bit of a nutcase too.

I'd only be happy about this if we signed an additional striker. I don't fancy having to survive a whole season relying on Miller, Mackie, Maguire and Parker for goals.

If it wasn't for Europe, it would have been a terrible season, although if it wasn't for Europe, our domestic form may have been a wee bit better.

I'm just waiting for Diamond to pick up an injury in training after an "accidental" collision with Sandy Clark's car.

I'm getting a bit worried about the Rangers game now, I can see there being a lot of people waiting to kick off if the huns win the league at Pittodrie and could get us into a lot of trouble. On the other hand, if we stuff them, I can see them really kicking off, and there will be a lot of our fans not willing to let them get away with it. Things could get really ugly regardless of the outcome. I can certainly see there being a ring of police right round the pitch for this one.

Ok, in the Rangers game.

What's the chances of Calderwood fielding a weakened team next weekend?

Foster GTF.

The first thing Calderwood said was "those were different days, mostly down to finances" and someone at the table next to me shouted out "aye that's right you useless fat bastard, get your excuses in first". Wasn't paying too much attention to the rest of what he was saying. Out of the 750 people there, I don't think a single person paid any attention to the Gordon Smith clip.

Strachan, Ferguson, McLeish, McGhee and Andy Watson were all that were missing.

I notice o2 are heavily involved in sponsoring the Gothenburg Greats weekend, might be an indicator of a future club sponsor?

Willie Miller certainly gave that impression but also said that if this was a bad season then give him a bad season every year. Maybe he was just drunk, I dunno.

That was a fantastically brilliant night. We had Bryan Gunn at our table, absolute gent, got absolutely hammered too and fell off the stage at the end taking the big vinyl banner down with him. Said he was starting a new role as a scout for Norwich next season so I helpfully tipped him off about an exciting prospect called Darren Mackie. Willie Miller said he wasn't sure if Calderwood, Nicholl and Clark would be present for the Man Utd friendly as they might be "taking a long walk". Dunno what he meant by that.... Highlight of the evening was Neale Cooper invading the stage while Willie Miller was talking to Richard Gordon and entertaining the crowd to alcohol fuelled stories filled with obscenities, which included Fergie impressions, a story about Hewitt catching him wanking, his ex-wife kept a nice clean house apparently, and when Fergie took them to Egypt, he thought it was a shithole and camels were all queuing up to ride Jim Leighton. Only lowlights was them basically forcing everyone to pay £10 to enter a prize draw where the only prize was tickets to the Man Utd friendly. Also, the Gothenburg Greats painting print, £75 for the normal picture, a whopping £400 for a signed one. When the players are all already there signing autographs for everyone, it seems a bit shitty to charge an extra £325 for a signed picture. If tomorrow night is anything like tonight, it'll be a hell of a lot of fun.

Didn't realise that was Greg Shields standing next to him.

That can't be healthy

That's an odd one, he must have been punted by Liverpool.

Same here, should be a good one

He's just bought a house in Elrick (has been renting up to now) so he must fancy staying here in the long term, especially with a 3 month old kid.

Nespa said on the Hat that he spoke to him on Saturday night and he said he was going to Germany.
