    You all know I have at least one mate or proper contact at virtually every club across the divisions.

    Harry the Hornet thinks we are the biggest set of robbers since the Brinks-Mat heist.

    He agrees with Alto (who I presume Harry has never met?) that Gray can't trap a bag of cement.

    Harry believes 100% wholeheartedly (I kid you not!) that transfers between EPL clubs should be on a "sale or return" basis.

    Andre would have been back at the Turf mid-October, if Harry had his wicked way!

    I did suggest a few weeks ago that Watford might take us to court under the Trade Descriptions Act. However on checking, it appears an offence has only occurred if Watford were encouraged to buy Mr Gray by false or misleading statements. Well some journos might have gone overboard about his ability, but the club said nothing, as is their wont, in the lead up to the sale, so they cannot be held culpable, and if anyone connected with Watford had read this forum they would have been made aware that they were buying a player who had great difficulty trapping the proverbial bag of cement, and trapped it further than my grandad could throw his cap. A player who had scored just 4 goals all season from open play, and wasn't even a regular starter by the last half dozen games in one of the lowest scoring teams in the division.

    All I can say to Watford is, CAVEAT EMPTOR, you fecking mugs.

    Sorry, I missed out 'a hat trick against relegated Sunderland apart' before saying he'd scored just 4 from open play all season. I have to rectify this in the interests of accuracy, and to be fair to the lad.

    Running concurrent with this thread I suppose is my belief the way the FA punished Gray over historic tweets has completely derailed his career.

    I saw virtually every game in the Championship and no way on earth is Gray a poor player.

    The FA have got in between his ears where his footballing brain used to be.

    I hope he recovers from the injustice of it all and goes on to become the player he should be.

    And some folk still believe Tommy Cooper was a brilliant magician
