I wish POTL had come out yesterday and confirmed 'Bacon Boys' was just about DL and DE completing the Verts deal...

Why? Anyone with enough sense to know how to sneeze had worked it out

........and Sandra

I take your Sandra, and raise you a Rafaella

Bringing home the bacon ie getting the man we're after. The scribes means the contracts getting ready for signing. That's my view of it.

It's this. A thousand times this.

Sadly, you could slap certain people around the head with this, you could twist it up, wrap it in paper and ram it firmly up the botties and you could tattoo it onto their bell-ends and they'd STILL be coming up with fantastic alternative solutions that have Levy in Mongolia upping a Yak or something.

Basically, most of the site has been in a terrific mood today for no reason whatsoever, and as we were having fun with noah's misspelling of Vertonghen's name as Vertonghen, suddenly the news broke of it being done and now the name will forever have a positive and happy association. Unless Vertonghen scores an own-goal against Arsenal, and they it will quickly become negative and he'll go from Vertonghen to Bastard.

It's been something like 27 degrees here today, and I work next to a park (Cathedral grounds actually, but a "park" to all intents and purposes) that happens to be very popular with the sixth-formers from the local private girl's school.

I had every reason to be in a terrific mood today.

Is that legal? Or maybe he's sending old twitchy out there for punishment. Yeah that's got to be it.

what's Mongolia got to do with scribes tho.

 

[joey.leone]

Wow, looks like the rumors of Levy wanting to get our transfers done early might be true for once

Now just to sign Ade and Leandro and keep Bale and perhaps Modric and i'll be quite happy with our transfer dealings

Quite happy? Id be ecstatic.

But the question is, where does the Lurpak bit come into this??

Well i'm sure the 'L' In your name stands for something

 

[HappySpur]

Lurpak is an anagram of "u pralk". Coincidence? I think not.

I agree that it is almost certainly in reference to Vertonghen, but the reason people are so confused is because it's such a bloody awful clue. 'Bringing home the bacon' generally refers to bringing money home, so unless we are selling players I have no idea why he has used this phrase. If bacon in some way refers to somebody Danish then I could agree that it makes a little sense, but Vertonghen is Belgian. Anyway, not that I want to open a new can of worms, but it's just a bit of a bad clue, that's all.

It's no blue & yellow that's for sure...

 

[nailsy]

Now we know what bringing home the bacon is can we also clarify what slipping the sausage is?

 

[eddiev14]

It's no blue & yellow that's for sure...

If Blue and Yellow was Ade and Leandro it could be set for another outing this summer...

Ah fuck, are you telling us it means we're signing Yakubu?

 

[JaySpur]

Nothing has been confirmed ANYWHERE.

...when did that ever stop us getting excited about anything?!

 

[mil1lion]

Well i'm sure the 'L' In your name stands for something

L for love

 

[vavaboom]

that have Levy in Mongolia upping a Yak or something.

please write a story that leads to this!! Can't stop laughing

 

[noahrobert]

I think of it like a corporate structure

Noah was product development and came up with Vertonghen
You were like the VP and signed off on it
And now I'm PR.....getting the word out

Don't quite know how to rep a post, maybe due to phone, but rep for this
