I totally fell for this until I saw the bit about Arter. I was so annoyed that a message board joke became real and that's we'd added another winger to our gluttony of wingers.
Everyone needs cheering up, lets have a classic joke to lighten the mood.
Julius Caesar was addressing the crowd in the Coliseum. "Friends, Romans and Countrymen, lend me your ears. Tomorrow I take our glorious army to conquer Northern Europe and I shall start with France. We shall kill many Gauls and return victorious."
The crowd are up on their feet "Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees, hail mighty Caesar"
Brutus turns to his mate and says " He doesn't half talk some shi*e eh? He couldn't fight his way out of a wet parchment bag."
Six months later, Caesar comes back having conquered France and addresses the crowd in the Coliseum. "Friends, Romans and Countrymen, I have returned from our campaign in France and as I promised, we killed 50,000 Gauls".
The crowd are up on their feet again. "Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees, hail mighty Caesar". Brutus once again turns to his mate "I'm sick of his bullsh*t,I'm off to France to check this out."
So Brutus sets of for France and three weeks later he comes back to Rome.
Caesar is addressing the public in the Coliseum again "Friends, Romans and Countrymen, tomorrow we set off for Britain and we are going to sort those b*stards out"
The crowd are up on their feet. "Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees, hail mighty Caesar"
Brutus jumps up and shouts "Caesar, you are a liar. You told us that you had killed 50,000 Gauls in France but I've been there to check it out you only killed 25,000 !!!!"
The crowd are stunned and all sit down in silence.
Caesar gets up and looks slowly round the Coliseum then across at Brutus and says "Brutus, you are forgetting one thing... . Away Gauls count double in Europe."
Lot of typing for very little reward, but at least it wasnt posted on Jokes thread because that would have been inaccurate and wrong.
We've had since the end of May & we are less than 4 hours away from the end of the transfer window still without strength in depth up front.
"Getting business done early" is not a phrase used much in SE7
We got about as much business done early as anyone else, we are hours away from the deadline trying to sign players like anyone else, this is the nature of life in the EFL. I hope this helps, I suspect it won’t.
Not to be dramatic but the next 4 hours essentially make or break our season. We have a quality manager and a decent core of players, it would be a huge missed opportunity to let it go to waste. A striker who fits the way we play and a back up centre half, and we easily compete at the top end of the table imo. We miss out on either / both of those, and it’s another season of ‘what ifs’.

Top drawer.
Oh well we move on.
Well done.
After all these years I still don't know!
