The OS is unreadable to me at the moment, what does it say?
Basically that a 28 year old midfielder named Joe Burnell played as a triallist in the reserves on Tuesday. Started career with Bristol City, has also played for Wycombe and Northanpton and this season Oxford, having just been released by them.

We shouldnt be looking at midfielders, we should be looking at Defenders!

This is the same Burnell who turned his back on signing for City to go to Oxford last august, saying he was signing for a bigger and more progressive club in Oxford. Sloppy seconds i think.

Hope he eats plenty of humble pie, i know i've had to..........and i'm sick of it!!!

I sympathise. Ive been eating rather a lot of it at home recently. Find a large glass of red wine eases it down, along with a good supply of gallows humour!!! :)

I can't believe we dumped the Osmans then bring in another ageing midfield journeyman.

Perhaps Tis should see a shrink about his obsessive compulsive behaviour.

Can't find the link..but I'm sure the Osman at Salisbury is on loan.
