Morning all.

Another day, no ITK. Bummer.

Some bastard nicked a pair of the wifes trollies off the washing line the other day. If the perp is reading this, I don't mind if you keep them but can I have the 12 pegs back please?

Oh and on Saturday I was walking down the local high street with Mrs A&C when she accused me of being ashamed to be seen with her. "That's total bollocks" I replied. By text, from across the road.

Yesterday Mrs A&C said nothing compares to you, but todays shes telling me to hit the road jack.

She's changed her tune.

This morning, in order to at least have something to put into this post we're taking you back to something that first aired on SC in May of last year.

Today we're bringing you an insight into our Chairman.

Anyone remember the kiddies programme, Playschool? Because today we're going back in time. We're going back to 1972, to a detached house, somewhere in Essex.........

Little Danny Levy (ironically, he'd be known as this for all his life) had just turned 10 and as a treat his parents had allowed him to take a break from studying the atomic dynamics of protracted negotiations to watch the television box for a couple of hours.

He clapped excitedly as the BBC TV announcer said 'Hello kiddies......now it's Playschool'......The programme began with it's usual mantra "A house, with a door, 1 2 3 4, ready to play, what's the day? It's..."

"Deadline Day!" shouted Litte Danny, clapping. 'How many more times must I tell you Daniel?' said his mother, who we'll call Ma Levy....... 'It's Playschool........Your supposed to shout Playschool, enough with the silly piffle about Deadline Day, whatever that is'

'Sorry mummykins' said Little Danny. 'I'll try to remember' without taking his eyes off the screen. The presenter was just coming to the end of a short story about Little Ted and Jemima doing something he didn't understand but he was sure Little Ted's fingers would really be rather smelly. Next up was the story.........

'Ok children......which window will we go through today' said the presenter.......Will it be the round window? Or maybe the square window? How about the arched window?'

"The Transfer Window!" shouted Little Danny. This annoyed Ma Levy. "Daniel, that's enough, turn that television off, that wasn't even one of the choices........what on earth is deadline day?'

"I don't know mummy" said Little Danny Levy. "Something made me say it, I don't know why"

"Well stop being so silly. Now then, go back to your room, you won't learn about the quantum mechanics of brinkmanship sitting here in front of the television, none of this window business well ever be of use to you'

Litte Danny turned off the TV and walked up the stairs. As he did so he turned to his mother, who was sat with her back to him, darning a sock. His eyes went a strange bright red colour and an evil look came across his face.

"We'll see mummy, we'll see..........."

Hey A&C, The Goat called me earlier thinking I was his lawyer. Something about you not letting him out of his pen once in a while. I dont know, but you may wanna get him under control and start letting him out once in a while before he finds the number to Animal Control. Just a thought;)

LOL at the 12 pegs line.

Weird creepy Lawrence of Arabia avatar. Something is written. A signature. A player has signed for Tottenham?

The avatars have been from Mad magazine and Spy vs Spy.

Hmmm...

ITK!!! Wooooo! I'm guessing the other teams looking at him are liverpool and united? Hopefully the poch factor will make him want to come here. As for fee, god knows what they will be asking for, maybe around 15mil? They signed him for 8 and like grey fox says he's only one year into contract.

I have no idea how to relate that to any player/person in football. Apart from Balotelli, cause he's mad
Yeah, I don't actually think it's a cryptic ITK message, more a message that A&C thinks we are all mad hoping for spies to give us ITK.

So Grey Fox again confirms our firm interest in Lovren, with him handing in a transfer request it is most likely he will move on. Hopefully the Poch link is enough for him to favour us, but i'm not getting my hopes up with the Scousers in the hunt as well.

I rate Lovren, but If Southampton want to try and bend us over then there are probably other options i'd pursue.

We could get priced out of Lovren.
How much would Levy spend on a defender? Be surprised if he went over £15m and he may be reluctant to go that high...

Looks like we could be in another Deano situation here, with competition to muddy the waters.

Interesting how most of the ITK we have had lately has been about Lovren or Southampton players in general.

Is Lovren really that good and worth £10m+? I only ask as I paid little attention to Southampton's defence throughout the season (and it didn't look too clever against us).
