I did, but I am in two minds about it.
1) A great guy, a fantastic person to have around the team, and at 34 he can still play a bit and will likely be better cover than Chamakh (whose days must be numbered) and Park (who's only played a few minutes of Carling Cup football, I don't think he's up to the prem yet) - and hey, it's TH14. Or 12 as it is now.

2) RvP won't make the whole season at this rate, he desperately *needs* a full-term backup. Walcott's not up to it, Gervinho couldn't hit a barn door (but has a good rate of assists and has great pace)... I'd like to see a 'proper' signing.

So, great to have him back (and I suspect he'll take over from Pat Rice in the next couple of years), but I'd like a new signing too.

I hear Pat Jennings has been signed as cover for the keeper.

Fuck off, Bob Wilson's the man we want!

It's Mr Football.
We're talking about your team here. You knew that though didn't you, you sly old Gooner?

I met him at a book signing.
(I went to get his book signed for my Dad's birthday present, I wouldn't have met a dirt Gooner otherwise).

I probably shouldn't tell you how funny it was when he dropped the pen.

Because, sadly, he didn't.
