    More specifically this transfer window but transfer windows in general.

    "...the best defender to pull on a Saints shirt for many years"

    "Please sign Toby!"

    The one I really hate is: ''it's a done deal''....especially when said months before the transfer windows open. It rarely is!

    I love the fact that players, after signing for a club, are carried to their new training ground by a large bird of prey.
    This is confirmed by headlines such as "Rogers swoops for Clyne"

    Or they are hijacked. Happily driving to Staplewood in their posh cars, they are held up by Liverpool highwaymen. I blame having the New Forest so close.

    Swap deals are always touted in the media yet seem to never happen outside Football Manager. Gallas for Cole and Davies for Vorm are the only ones I can remember actually coming off.

    Why does the transfer window always "Slam shut"?
    You would think, with it closing so late at night, it would be closed very, very quietly.

    Very nice humour which caught me unaware, hence I chuckled all the harder. :)
