The assertion by the Sub-Standard that Nicky Bailey, who did work in a bookies and is lodging with his girl friend's parents in their Forest Hill pub while he looks for a permanent home is being called the new Paul Gascoigne by the Addickted?
Or the comments by Pards on the one month loan deal with Cheltenham Town for Stuart Fleetwood? Pardew said: 'He's in such great form for the reserves that I need to see him scoring goals at a higher level before I can put my hat on him in this team.' The idea of Pards putting his hat on a player sounds a bit odd, particularly as he has never been seen to wear one. What sort of hat would it be? A baseball cap, a wooly one or the revival of the trilby? Answers on a postcard.
As for the actual decision-making involved, one lister put it nicely: 'So to sum up, you buy a 23 year old non-league striker, and because he plays so well for your reserve team, you send him out on loan, so that you can find out if he is any good for your first team.'
You couldn't make it up.

perhaps thats Pards speak for giving the player his first cap?
