Friday Night is Championship Night

I noticed on Sky that there's a proper game on.  It reminds me that when we were cast out into the drear darkness that is the Championship (and where we had a chance of winning the competition but had to play Millwall - twice - and lose), I'd have been excited and hopeful.  But now I can't be arsed to watch even when there's nothing else to do.

I've found from the websites (footie porn-lite) that we've signed another loaner for the season. 

So now we have signed Thomas Hitzlsperger, Pablo Barrera, Frederic Piquionne, Winston Reid, Tal Ben Haim and Miralem Sulejma.  There must be a joke about there was a German, a Mexican, a Frenchman, a Maori, an Israeli and a Serb.  But that's probably just West Ham.

How we'll manage with the new home-produced rule for the squad with these joining McCarthy, Stech, Faubert, DaCosta, Ilunga, Daprela, Spector, Diamanti, Kovac and Behrami, who knows.  So I'm expecting an early season sale - buy one, get one free, or three for the price of two?  Not that I can see many of that lot raising oodles of cash (except for themselves) and it's only Behrami who looks worth buying to me.

We'll probably manage a new twist on Manny Omiyinmi and play somebody who's ineligible in some crucial (relegation six-pointer) game.

Still those nice men in charge have written to me to confirm that my season card will work again this year.

And to tell me how excited Avram Grant is about the pre-season friendly against Deportivo.

If that's what it takes to excite him, those alleged visits to brothels probably don't last long.
