The Grant Gurnhill football and mayhem blog.

Wagawagawagawagawagapeeps! No - not me missus! I’m back again and this is the pentul-penultyt-penny…second ta last part o’ me insightful look inta more teams in the Prem.
First we ‘ave the mighty Mantreasurechester City, Champions o’ Prem. 34 players in the squad, 8 are homegrown, none on loan (perish the thought!). Only 6 of this lot are yet to start a game for the team. Biggest transfer? Don’t be daft. Unless Messi, Neymar Jr or Ronaldo join this lot, there’s no one player bigger than what they’ve already got. But, with bottomless pockets, you never know…
You can guess who’s next alphabetispaghettically - Man Reunited - but will they be this season under Van Ghoul? 34 players in the squad, 10 are homegrown, none on loan. 11 of this lot are yet to start a game for the team. Biggest transfer? I’m sure there’ll be more movement yet once Van Ghoul gets into the groove, but no doubt the critics will be keeping an eye on whether Angeldelight Henriquez can challenge Van Persie, and whether Luke Bernard Shaw can write his own Red Devil legacy.
Next, that lot from the old French League, or Pewkcastle if you like. 35 players in the squad, 7 are homegrown (10 French and 11 English if you’re counting), none on loan (perish the thought!). Only 9 of this lot are yet to start a game for the team. Biggest transfer? No doubt Perez and De Jongyjongybongybongbong are gonna be fighting for a start up front. Unless he’s brave enough to start ‘em both together…
Now - Queens Park Deranged. 32 players in the squad. Y’all ready for this? None, zero, zip, nada are homegrown. None on loan (yet…). Half of this lot (16) are yet to start a game for the team. Biggest transfer? Believe it or not, I’m going for the octogenarian, Richard Dunne.
Next, the cannon-fodder of the league, whose goalkeepers are no doubt looking into the small print and get-out clauses in their contracts right now. Who wants the record for most goals against EVER? Now that Ditherfool have adopted all this lots’ waifs and strays, they are left with 25 - yes, a mere 25 - players in the squad. Yes peeps, it can only be GoingsouthtotheChampionship fasthampton. 6 are homegrown, none on loan yet, but it’ll happen. Only 4 of this lot are yet to start a game for the team, which speaks volumes. Biggest transfer? Call me Devil’s Advocate, but my money’s on Sharpe (I always did like Sean Bean…)
Finally for tonight, Steak City. Cutting it fine so far with 27 players in the squad, but a commendable 13 homegrown, yet to get loanees, a respectable 5 to start for them. No real biggest transfer, but, as expected, a shrewd transfer policy that has strengthened the whole squad with no marquee signing yet. Clever, and a shrewd move to keep their Prem record going. Expect more last minute arrivals.
Yawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwn! Once again that’s it for tonight peeps. I’m off to me cot for a well-deserved slurp of the hot stuff. And boy is she hot lads! Pass me the lube! See thee on t’other side!
Be back tomorrow wi’ yet another load o’ incitefullness - yes, you read that word reet yet again folks. Tata for now!
