What the pea brained idiot doesn't seem to realise is that if he wasn't such an unprofessional, disruptive moron, there would probably be more teams in for him in the first place. That's also probably a contributing factor why Spurs didn't put the cash up front - because someone with his level of professionalism is a big gamble.

Sadly, we live in an age of unprofessional, disruptive morons who usually get exactly what they want.  Raheem Sterling, Mario Balotelli, Carlos Tevez, Yaya Toure and his birthday cake.  Even Odemwingie got his way in the end.  "Greed is good", and all that jazz.

As a baggies fan of 53 years standing (my first game was aged 7 v the impressive West Ham  of 1964) I was disappointed but not surprised we did not do any transfer business on the last day. The spree ended with the purchase of Evans and no amount of huffing and puffing and smoke and mirrors should have convinced us otherwise.

I was also disappointed with the sale of Lescott to the “seals” which I am lead to believe was because he did not doff his cap and tug his forelock to the dictatorial and increasingly irrational Tony Pull-it (something to do with cycling up an Austrian mountain I am informed)

I admire JP for standing up to the patronising and bullying tactics of another pompous London club who were clearly “extracting the urine” with their offers of green shield stamps and luncheon vouchers (I have an anecdote about a house of ill repute with Cynthia Payne and luncheon vouchers which I will keep for a later dare).

I am also proud of JP for telling a childish and ungrateful SB the facts of life.  That being said we should not just blame Spuds alone for our situation.

The mantle now falls upon the “great messiah” Pull-it to prove his mettle and put his arm around our misguided mercurial child SB and coax the wonderful performances he is capable of. If he can not then his so “experience and management skills” are not worth a knob of goat shit. This also goes for his inability to motivate Sessegnon who could be a great player with a competent manager (imagine him under Atkinson?).

We actually now have a vey good squad of players with enough diversity of talent that a decent manager could guarantee a mid table position. I still believe either Pepe or Irvine could have done it but they were unlucky managers. Pull –it is a poor manager but actually very lucky.

I must admit my dream is when England inevitably fails in the Euros next summer Roy Hodgson gets the sack from the FA and rejoins my beloved baggies.

My care workers have entered the room and administered my medication..... so must sign off for now my comrades.
