    An analogy from the Chilean manager:

    "One night, I went to a bar, I was with a woman. We talked all night. We laughed, we flirted, I paid for several drinks of hers.

    At around 5am, a guy came in, grabbed her by the arm and took her to the bathroom. He made love to her and she left with him. That doesn’t matter, because I had most of the possession on that night.
    Great post. Not at all relevant to the thread but it is up to those with high level coaching credentials (like what you and I have got) to "desuade" all the naive idiots from "brevado" tactics. That's not being at all arrogant.

    Wrinkly - I would point you towards "like making love to a woman" made by someone who hasn't ejoyed your attention. If I was at all arrogant I would attack posters without knowing what the post relates to...more or less like you have just done. But if you feel better - what the hell....enjoy your moment however empty it is....

    Come to think of it I do recall hearing that Stubbsy had cracked the Chilean manager joke on the coach back from Barnsley, after the players had questioned his "white flag" tactics ("don't bother trying to get the ball off them. Let them get as many shots and crosses in as they like - It can't hurt us")

    "Oh I get it" said one of the players "we are like the bloke who came in at 5am. They had all the possession but we got phucked"

    And if you'd have used the 'Reply With Quote' then that would have been easier!

    Signing imminent or incoming...IF...
    My analogy...
    When signing players you have to be patient, take your time and not get too excited ( a bit like making love �� to a woman.)

    Apologies put it down to my weird sense of humour.

    Has he signed yet ?

    Using the reply/ quote and I'm being specific.....
    No he hasn't come yet.
    I always say don't get too excited at any incoming signings...
    It could end up a disappointment..... ( a bit like premature ejaculation.....when making love to a woman )


    Swiss Tony...LOL flourbasher, not seen it for a while.
