I clicked to vote in the poll and got a message saying I'd already voted. Rigged or what! Unjustified of course, but haven't given up hope that some good might come of it all.

Bugger. Can't we introduce a category for Most Pretentious Contributor? I might be in with a shout there. Or how about Most Francophile Contributor? I'd be a dead cert for that one.

Wonder if that other target is the Nantes defender Armand GS is said to have watched? I saw Nantes on tv yesterday and the commentators were saying that Armand is certain to be leaving the club when the transfer window opens, but they didn't mention any names. He's an attack-minded defender: Nantes played three at the back yesterday and Armand played on the left of midfield. He scored one of their three goals, finishing off a flowing move which he initated in his own half.
