Apologies, but there's not been much ITK to reports so I quickly knocked up something for you this morning in the form of Chapter 2 of our ongoing story, The Phantom in Menaced.

I came home from work yesterday and found the Wife sobbing on the couch.

"I've heard that you say you don't love me anymore;" she sobbed.
"And you wish I'd just fuck off back to my mum's."

"That's not true'" I reassured her.

"I don't give a fuck WHERE you go."

THE PHANTOM IS MENACED
Link to Chapter One: The first casualty of ITK is the truth.

Chapter Two: Rosie 47

Goatbacca paced up and down, his mind working furiously trying to find a solution. Finally, he stopped pacing, turned to look at Obi-Wan Pottle and said “Catch you the evil twins must not, in you, the farce is not yet strong.”

He knew he had to keep Pottle away from Darth Blue and Darth Yellow and he knew only one place where he would be safe. He turned to Pottle and said ‘There’s only one place you can go”

“Where’s that then?” asked Obi-Wan Pottle

“Rosie 47”

Rosie 47 is a safe haven for the Jed-ITK. Located in Monaco, it gave those who could afford it, complete anonymity and secrecy and it was the perfect place for Pottle to hide until Goatbaccca could deal with Darth Blue and Darth Yellow. Rosie 47 was the perfect place for anyone wanting to hide something.

Darth Lee Vee was vexed. He still hadn’t heard from the two Darths and was getting impatient. “Those two ****s had better not be out there treating this like a beano” he thought. As he surfed his favorite website, lastminute.com. He never bought anything from there, but the name appealed to him for some strange reason.

Darth Blue and Darth Yellow were sat in their usual haunt, Doms Café in Stoke Newington, discussing their next move. “Well I’m buggered if I know where to look” sighed Blue “It’s as if the ground has swallowed him up” he continued as he took a bite from his bacon sandwich. The owner, Dom walked over and said ‘You two heard the latest?”

“No” replied Yellow, ‘Go on then”…….Dom smiled…….”Aguero to Spurs”

Blue pulled out a gun and shot him twice at point blank range. “If I’ve told you once, I’ve told you a thousand times” Yellow shouted at Blue ‘Don’t shoot the messenger”

“Even if the message is bollocks?” asked Darth Blue.

“Even then” said Darth Yellow, “It is the No1 rule of the Farce”

Suddenly, Dom groaned as he lay there, his life ebbing away. Darth Blue knelt and cradled Dom in his arms, “What’s that?” he said as Dom mumbled something inaudible. Darth Blue lowered his head to Dom’s lips ‘Say that again Dom” Dom struggled for breath and with one final burst of energy, whispered “Rosebud” and his head slumped back as he died.

“Whadde say?” asked Darth Yellow

“Rosebud” replied Darth Blue, “What the fuck does that mean?”

“Dunno” said Darth Yellow “He was a **** anyway, come on, lets get back to the boss”

When they arrived back in Darth Lee Vee’s office, they found him engaged in his weekly game of Strip Battleships with Darth Cull Hen, who must have been on a losing streak as she was sat on the beanbag, gash out with only her designer bra left to lose.

“R2” said Darth Lee Vee as he took his turn “Miss” came the reply

“D2” responded Darth Cull Hen, “Miss” Laughed Lee Vee

“C3” enquired Lee Vee “Miss” said Cull Hen

“P0” said Cull Hen “Shit!” shouted Lee Vee, “You’ve sunk my Battleship”

He stood and angrily upturned the game before noticing that Darths Blue and Yellow were there.

“Ah, I’ve been wondering where you two have been. What have you got for me?”

“Err, not much really boss” said Darth Blue “He’s disappeared and we nobody is talking”

Darth Yellow nudged Blue. “Tell him about what Dom said”

“What about him, what did he say?” asked Lee Vee.

“Rosebud”

Darth Lee Vee pressed the intercom on his desk and spoke to his secretary. “Get them two ****s Darth Blue and Darth Yellow tickets to Monaco.

“Good work boys”
Darths Blue and Yellow looked at each other, confused. “It is?” asked Yellow.

Lee Vee smiled as he pressed the intercom button for a second time. “And bring me the file on Rosie 47” He lifted his finger from the button before carrying on……..”you slut”

He leaned back on his chair, a smug look on his face. “You boys are going to France” he said. “And when you get there, you’re to find Obi-Wan Pottle and bring him back here to me”

Darths Blue & Yellow left Lee Vee’s offices, got into a great big black 4x4 and sped off toward the airport. They were unaware that they were being followed. 45 minutes later they arrived at their destination.

Ben Solo picked up his iPhone and made a call. “Goatbacca? That you? I’ve followed them to the airport, I’ll find out what flight they are on”

Ten minutes later he called again. Goatbacca put the phone down, a worried look on his face.

Next up Chapter 3: Nemesis

In other news:

The Daily Mirror reckon that: Tottenham want to sign 24-year-old Mauro Zarate on loan. The Lazio striker caught Harry Redknapp's eye when on loan with Birmingham City three years ago.
Eek

The Daily Telegraph report that: Jose Mourinho will quit Spanish league leaders Real Madrid in the summer amid reports of a training ground argument between the former Chelsea boss and senior players Iker Casillas and Sergio Ramos.

Could be handy if we're in the market for a manager.

The Sun tell us that: Arsenal's Robin van Persie insists he did not question Arsene Wenger's judgement to substitute Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in the weekend defeat to Manchester United. The Dutchman, caught on camera voicing his disbelief, says he was simply "sad" to see the winger leave the field.

Latest reports have Arsene Wenger last seen bent over in front of a banner saying "In Arsene we thrust"

The quietness will only be refreshing if we actually do any business despite it.

You got some statistical evidence to back that up?

To be honest its not the signing (although we do need a couple of players, but maybe it wont be this window) but the actual ITK which usually links us to everything that moves and gets us all in a twizzle, but that has been missing completly this window, maybe they are not sharing after the smashing they got in the summer (rightly so in some but not all cases) or maybe there really isnt anything going on, i hope its not the latter, but i have a feeling it is :(

Obviously this transfer window has not been great so. Unbeleiveably quiet, not just for us but for most clubs. Hard to tell if we are going to have a frenzy of activity in the last week or not...........but I am thinking not.

Anyway we all know what we need...............a striker is a must and maybe someone creative to back up Lennon and could play centrally if Luka had an injury. With midweek games dying out this season once we get past tuesday I feel we can cope at centre back with what we have.

We all want quality to come in and a back up to Ade is absolute priortiy. And we would like that to be someone a permanent basis. But i think we have to accept that there is not the quality players, who want to move, at the right price this time of year unless crazy wages are offered, which we know we won't do. I have read people complaining that we should not get another loan in as we would only own 2 of the strikers (using the word striker in its loosest possible term for Pav)

But we have to be realsitic. We need cover for Ade and if its a loan then so be it. It if not the world class striker we all want then so be it. As long as its a better option that Pav then we should take it. It could still be the differecne between getting the CL spot. An Ade injury with no back up would be a disaster.

I am no football scout but i feel sure there are players out there who would do a decent job for us until the summer if called upon, and you never know might actually turn out to be a roaring success

Yeah. I hate all of those top class strikers we signed in the past 4 windows.... I wish we hadn't signed them.

Pekhart, Crouch, Bakari, Blondel, Booth, Qu Bo, Titi Camara, Frazier Campbell, Gary Doherty, El Hamadoui, Gudjohnsen, Hallfredsson, Iversen, Yannick Kamanan, Korsten .... now we are stuck wit Pavlyuchenko.

I'm actually intrigued to see what will happen if we don't sign anyone. The reaction of Paulo10 alone could be priceless.

I'd not lose any sleep over it, but I mean...fucking hell, it's very risky.

You must be able to understand the frustrations, I'm surprised most of you don't share them.

I would have Iversen and Gudjohnsen (when they played for us) over Pav any day of the week.

This.

As fans i dont get why we have to pick a player to vilify, Pav is a good player at what he does, score goals, yeah he is not a work horse, and at the moment doesnt really look interested, even i will give people that, but when he basically hasn't played this season i dont get what people think he can do, he has already scored an important goal against sunderland. Peter Crouch worked hard, but he was not very good for us at all, but he put on the shirt so you have to cheer him!
