| On this day 2 years ago 09:11 - Jan 31 with 1102 views | PatfromPoole | We lost at Newcastle in a Cup semi-final. Like drunken sailors, we spunked £40 million on Tall Bloke and Fast Kid on transfer deadline day. A day for which we are still suffering, in truth. |  |

I can’t remember the exact date but didn’t they then decide it was a marvellous idea to invest a further £10 million plus wages for Ross Stewart from Sunderland ? A player who was carrying a long injury and in any event had never kicked a ball in top flight football. You’ve got to sell a hell of a lot of insipid beer in Fanzone plastic glasses to make up for those examples of utter and complete ineptitude. |  |

That was transfer deadline day in August last season. Spookily enough I was staying in the same digs at Newcastle on both nights. The following day we got rinsed 5-0 by the team who had just sold us Ross Stewart. I have learned the hard way never to again stay in the Quayside Premier Inn at Newcastle....
