Playing percentages

In the light of Ol' Big Nose's media babblings about Jose Enrique, it was no surprise to see Alan Pardew issuing a swift rebuttal telling the Ronny Gill today: "There’s definitely no deal between the clubs – 100%."

So Alan, is this the same 100% certainty that all of the Rocky cash will go back into the club? And, given this is a footballing matter we're talking about, if you really are certain then surely it should be 110%?

Bigmouthnose strikes again

With a hooter of such unfeasible proportions, it must admittedly be difficult for Phil Thompson to keep his nose out of other people's business. Still, that hardly excuses the overexcitable Scouse Sky pundit for openly claiming that the mooted Jose-Enrique-to-Liverpool summer transfer is a done deal. Of course, that's not to say it won't happen - on the contrary, given both their desperate need of a left back and Jabba's apparent policy of flogging our best players for a pretty penny and replacing them on the cheap, Thompson's claim is actually quite likely to prove true.
