He’s tanned, rested, toothy, and ready....

I bet in the fine print it says “Salary is payable in North Korean won.”

Yes, and they probably will.

Is Palace really “small”? I always thought that there’s too much money flowing around in London for any of those major metropolitan clubs to be truly small. Even though Selhurst doesn’t seat a lot of fans, the club seems to be in decent financial shape. (Relatively speaking, of course — “decent” means “not actually…

I think having it in puke green also adds at least 10 hp....
