Barry Bull$**t strikes again?

Times must be hard over at Bridge Road.

I visited my local Budgens tonight and was greeted by a mob of youths wearing Histon FC tracksuits, who were offering to pack your shopping in exchange for chucking a few coins into their buckets. I'm all for novel ways of boosting your kitty ahead of the opening of the transfer window, but employing children is taking things a step too far if you ask me.*

Anyway, onto our real rivals, and the latest episode in the battle of the bullshitters between Barry Fry and George Rolls. Sunday's NLP regurgitated a load of stuff we already knew Re: the phantom offer for Rendell, but there was one interesting quote in amongst the usual bluster from Fry:

"George made on offer of £100,000 which my chairman rubberstamped on Sunday," revealed everyones favourite chirpy cockney character. Funny that when, two weeks before, it was widely reported that P*sh had quoted a price of £120,000 to secure Scotty's services. If the required figure has already dropped £20,000 before the transfer window is even open, I'd advise that George returns at the end of January and makes an offer of 50p - he might have a bit more success.

*This is a joke. They were probably collecting for a worthwhile cause of charity. Or Gareth Baldwin's holiday fund.
