Night Knight

*Listening to Interpol – Interpol*

Twitter has descended into a playground for stroppy sportsmen. Darren Bent notoriously started the trend, but today, everything that has gone before is going to seem insignificant in comparison.

Well so Leon Knight reckons anyway.

The well travelled striker is going to, in his words, “be going wild on twitter all day FUCK RUSHDEN&DIAMONDS the crooks”. Libellous or not it seems, especially by the looks of some of his tweets. (I’ll let you find them ones for yourself…)

Cardiff and QPR can bring in even more quality players to help decide which of them wins the league and which will come second.

Come on Bellars, we started your career buddy.

My old haunt, Stoke, were the best, and most surprising movers in the window. No doubt everyone who reads this has some disdain for Jermaine Pennant, but he has something to prove in this division. Eidur Gudjohnsen in a Stoke shirt? He may be 31 but he’ll certainly do a job

And Marc Wilson impresses on every outing, getting shot of Lawrence in the process is canny business. At least Tuncay won’t look so out of place now he has people who know how to kick a ball to an appropriate target.
