Sonatine

As the Sun put it, Bill from Kill Bill killed by thrill.

As my mate said, he's got a touch of the "Hoddles" about him, few too many trips to the faith healer i reckon.

Always seems to have an otherworldly air about him whenever he's being interviewed, either on the happy pills or back on the booze.

More money in the coffers for the greedy git

Maybe he'll take Joey Barton up there with him, spends more time at Donkey Adams clinic than he ever does playing anyway.

Quality

To be fair, it's a pretty good description of the guy.

Thought this would be more his set of wheels

Mercury Rev - Goddess on a Highway

Been a couple of plane crashes in Brazil in recent years

What a fucking nightmare, how the hell that pair of clowns shoes became a billionaire is beyond me

Was up in Stanley the other week, think the word haggard was invented purely to describe some of the poor souls up there

Don't think telling him to shoot or pull the trigger when he gets in the box would be a good idea

Has our club captain actually said anything about us getting relegated yet? Pretty sure he can spare some time away from his agent\horses to utter a meaningless soundbite

I wonder if we'll ever get to find out his real age

Bunty I think Cunty more like it

This the ping pong guy? Not the first time he's written Grade A shite, just second rate Talksport drivel dressed up as "proper" journalism

Sorry, wrong hole

Makes you wonder that when Allardyce was banging on about Owen's alleged release clause, that he wanted someone to make an offer so he could get rid

That's bollocks, he came on a free transfer iirc, hence the silly wages.
