    Getting a bit fed up with the costs to Clubcall this season, 80p per minute, admittedly I find transfer news quicker than most but then i look on here and find that folk are getting info, albeit belatedly, for free off this Nixon bloke. The fact that Nixon does not provide an audible fan fare style intro to his rumours just about justifies the obscene premium rate price, I suppose.

    Anybody else feel like this ?

    I get all my news from teletext. Don't know what everyone's getting so worked up about, it's been quiet for ages.

    We haven't sold anyone, although rumours that Kayode Odejayi may go to Colchester. But on the plus side Nathan Doyle may be coming in from Hull.

    Eyup Getram, there's a pay phone at the top of Aldham House Lane, Wombwell and if you pre-fix the Clubcall number with #4343 * followed by 0898 121152, you get unlimited access for free. I've just had just under 5 hours on it but not a lot to report really. Apparently Clive Baker's taking part in 'Movember' but that's clearly well out of date coz that was like two months ago. Also Brian Robson has been seen in the Cross Keys at Stairfoot playing pool with Viv Anderson, read into that what you will.
    Oh, by the way, Getram, are you Micky Mellon's brother?

    thanks for this. I have just walked upto said Clubcall 'free' payphone and gave it a try must admit I am pleasantly suprised it sounds very similar to the original Clubcall however where you are usually greeted by Hecky saying "Welcome to Barnsley Clubcall - Up the Reds" I notice this has been replaced with a sound clip of Mel Machin applying some brown sauce, via a sachet to a Jumbo Hotdog. Whilst I fully appreciate your kind advice, i feel I have to tell you that, as a result of enduring 3 hours of counterfeit 1990's transfer rumours, I infact had a nervous breakdown, lying in the road next to the speed camera on Wombwell lane causing horrendous traffic congestion.

    You're clearly deluded, young Micky's lad. It was Alan Clarke and it was red sauce, and if you'd stayed on the line for just an extra 7 minutes 23 seconds, you'd know that we're linked with a tricky young Scottish winger called Owen Archdeacon and I'd also have got to Screwfix before closing time to collect my online reservation of strimmer wire in preparation for next week's heat wave.

    I dialled incorrectly and some woman who had clearly been running started shouting at me and asked for my credit card details.

    I not sure she'd been running to be honest. According Brian 'The Truth' McChord, she was actually in labour and dilated to 5cm. If you call back in 19 years (subject to British Telecom not blowing our secret scam) you'll likely learn that she gave birth to a little boy, called James, who aspired to have a Brummie accent and ply his trade under a chap called Steve Bruce or summat. I've had a flick through the Midlands Yellow Pages and found Steven Bruce Plastering Services - No Job Too Small.

    Someone who lives in the flat above my Uncle Ken, has got one of them cellphones/mobile telephone (it's basically a telephone that you actually do not have to plug into the wall and I think you can even take them up the garden or further). But it cost him just over £24.73 to listen to a Clubcall joint statement from Charlie Bishop and Gerry Taggart stating that they "only called into Japanese Whispers for 4 hours to pick up some bottled water as they intended to go to Morrisons on Westway, but when they got there, it hadn't yet been built". They also went onto say that, "as it's 1992, there was only Company Cars who offered us some screen wash to quench our thirst, and a bowling alley from which Charlie is banned for saying the F-word when accidentally throwing not one, but seven bowling balls through the glass facade". Anyhow, the following day, Port Vale beat us 3-1 at home wearing our away kit. Whispers water brings you bad luck!!!

    Just been given a freephone number 0800 998776 for updates, one downside though with it being for nowt, it is a limited news service, strictly for transfer rumours regarding the Tea Lady at Oakwell. Today's update: Nixon says Aston Villa Owner has requested [MENTION=119331]barns[/MENTION]ley Tea Lady to take a video selfie demonstrating a 'quick fire 4 cup decaf filter coffee brew' whilst blindfolded.

    If this is true then just proves that money and indeed the internet is killing the game. They don't even do proper real life trials anymore.
