And one to appease The Worm who doesn't seem to be a happy chappy at the moment!

Is he still in a huff??
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

Is Wigan's Callum McManaman eligible to play for us?
Is he? He's from Huyton and has played for England at under-20 level. It's just I saw him mentioned in a thread on OWC dedicated to sourcing out players eligible for the IFA. There was no explanation given as to his eligibility but if he's eligible to play for the IFA through a northern-born parent or grandparent, then he'd also be entitled to Irish citizenship and potentially eligible to play for us.
Apparently, his grandfather was from the north.
They've just brought another 18 year old, Anton Forrester, on for his debut but looks like O'Sullivan won't make it on. Still good to see.
How's Chinedu Vine getting on these days? His name just popped into my head last night for some reason. Haven't heard much about him of late.
UD Lieira in the Portuguese third division. Was supposed to go to Feirense in Div 2 but it fell through. Has apparently signalled his intention to play for Nigeria.
