Anyone who seriously thinks Inter would sell Zlatan in Jan should tighten their straight jacket

more likely Adriano

I am wondering if his target may not be a certain DAVID BECKHAM

i dont think so. last time beckham played against us, fans threw pound coins at his head.

he wouldn't come to city.

Always love your quips Brucie... But this one beats me!

Is it a dingbat of sorts?

Cheese-Pennies...? Cheese-Coins...? Cheese-Money...? Crumbly Cheese-Money..?

Enlighten me please. I'm a bit slow on the uptake today obviously...

LOL zlatan quality quality player, no chance at all of us signing him.

Not unless Jose is coming in the summer and brings him along :D

Cook going to Milan this pm and back at midnight. Source - pilot. Same guy who told me about Robinho signing (I posted on here couple of hours b4 he signed).

Couldn't tell me why.

I'm not doubting the story, but i just wondered that if the club are trying to keep deals under wraps won't that pilot get the sack if someone at the club reads this?

 

[Benarbia]

So Cook treats his wife to an expensive outfit from Italy and bluemoon members spunk all over the show

It's supposed to be: "I'm standing here like cheese at fourpence."
Nice bit o' Lancashire that isn't it? Mmmmmtasty!

Re: Cheese at fourpence"
A woman might say ... "He left me standing there like Cheese at fourpence". This phrase may be a little confusing to the world at large, but it is a lovely, quaint and amusing expression. I believe it originates from the poor mill towns of Lancashire, where the normal shop price of cheese was twopence say and nobody could afford the luxurious fourpenny stuff. This was left languishing in the shop window, just like the lady was left waiting for her date.
Am I correct in believing this?
