Why? Just Why?

Why do I let them do it?

Another idiot poster on the official forum, complaining about all the sponsors logos on the jerseys, saying he wants a sponsor free one. Then when it is explaind (laboriously and repeatedly) o0ver the duration of the thread, the best they can do is say they will get their own unofficial one rather than spend the money on the club, and then tells everyone else to do the same.

Naturally I decided to join in at this point. And I got a post deleted (oh noes! I attacked the muppet and used a naughty word!)!

I fucking hate forum trolls.

And it keeps on getting more interesting....

According to rumor, TH has secured the signature of fellow veteran forward Ed 'Big Nose' Courtenay as our 3rd import.

If this is true it adds another proven goal scorer to our line, albeit another 'veteran' one. Of course, with the EPL being a bit slower and less physical, being a veteran of the age of messers Hand and Courtenay is less of an issue (see Mr S. Moira for details).

Awaiting confirmation, which if this is true will come on Friday.

He might be a donkey, but he's OUR donkey!

Yup, the rumors were correct, in a fairly surprising move TH has brough big, bad Andre Payette into the Phoenix fold.

Something a lot of folks have forgotten is that when used correctly (as he was during his first year in Coventry) Payette is a damn useful forward. And given how well TH kept Cloots on the leash, I doubt very much that discipline will be too much of an issue (6 fights and you are out for the season as per the EPL rules, I believe).

And lets be honest, Payette will likely be one of the most physical players that the EPL has seen for a very long time. Not to mention a pretty big draw.

Welcome to the Phoenix, Andre.

Its oh so quiet....

Yup, summer is now in full swing (I can hear the rain lashing against my window as I type), so the news coming out of the Phoenix has pretty much dried up.

Adam Walker is doing a charity bike ride (summed up far better on the official site than I could do), and there are persistent rumours that we have an ex EIHl forward lined up to announce. Current front runner being good ol' Donkey himself andre Payette, who apparently can apply for a passport after being here for 5 years.

He would certainly be an 'interesting' addition if nothing else, especially given the EPLs much tougher stance on fighting during games.

And now that I'm unemployed, attending the hockey will have to become a cheaper night out, somehow.....
