I'm off on holiday for a week
or so, further updates in early October...

Eagle eyed viewers may have
seen the name "Kaku" scribbled down by Sam Alladyce's son in a list
of deals he was involved in during the recent BBC documentary.
I'm sure some cynics may say
that Blessing Kaku was Carlos Kickaball personified, running around
the training grounds of northern England whilst earning several
hangers on thousands of pounds. That would be libellous though.

Facts from a conversation with
Steve Elliott in the Blue Note:
He is still at Bristol Rovers
and they had drawn 0-0 with Rochdale that day. Paul Trollope is an
"alright" manager (said with positive nodding).

Eyewitness account of Stephen
Bywater's trolley:
"Lot's of fruit and veg and
yoghurt. No 24 pack of Stella (or any other strong continental
lager. Or antipodean piss.)"

Conspiracy theorists will
probably regard the quote cited on August 24th with some scepticism
following last weeks sales. Who needs Steve Harding?
August 28th 2006
Two interesting facts
from a Giles Barnes interview in The Observer:
1) "The banter king
is Paul Thirwell" according to Giles.
2) His uncle is wet
look permed former West Ham winger Bobby Barnes.

Quote from the RamsTrust column
on D.E.T. website:
"We hope to put
certain decisions into perspective, allowing the fans to realise why
certain players are sold and certain budgets must be kept to."
Reaction of RamsTrust
the last
time the Rams sold a player to meet the budget?
10,000 "Board Out" posters.

Conversation overheard at the Norwich match....
A- "Big and young, that's all Tom Huddlestone was."
B- "Yeah, no pace even for a young lad."
A- "That's why he always reminded me of Andy
Garner."
Big Tom - on the path to the Moat
Ground as
we speak

An email received from a mate living in Korea...
....going to prostitutes is almost part
of being a business man. Its part of a night out. There are
special kareoke rooms called "room salon" (their spelling, not
mine!) where you pay for some girls. you and your mates go and
have a sing with them and then have your dirty way, right then
and there in the room. They sound like sleazy
dives...with rubbish song books, "where's Speed of Sound,
Kim?!?")....
Could this catch on in Derby ?
"I'm not being funny me duck, but I'm not paying time and a half for
a topless "I am the Resurrection"!"

happy with Aztec Camera at left back
