This is peak schoolboy humour. 

There was a girl at my school called Susan (or maybe Suzanne) Smellie. And also an Asian girl called Asheeta - who everybody used to called Asheeta Paper. The was also an Asian lad called Heman Ghedia. 

The missus went to school with a lad called Stuewart, the receptionist was named Mrs Stewart. Apparently they got great joy out of 'thats your mum that is'. The poor fucker wasn't clued in on in the rules of the playground as once they got a reaction from him it stuck.

I had a Peter Reid and Mark Hughes in my year and a Bryan Ryan in year above.

[desperado]

Things I like about this:

- scored 15 goals for them in the SPL, also making the divisional team of the year.

- the 6ft 3ins striker also netted seven of his 15 goals with his head

- he can be the focal point Bolton’s attack lacked at times last season.

- He also had the second-highest number of aerial duels won per game by any striker in the SPL last term

Was just saying the same things in WhatsApp. You can’t argue he seems something different to any of our current forwards. This alone seems a good thing.

I've heard were in for Louie Barry.

You’re talking my language mate! You could have stopped at 6ft 3 though and I’d have been happy 😂 - our team of giants is on its way!

Also in same article 

“Wanderers have made progress on a few transfer fronts and appear to be favourites to land Hull City’s defender Matty Jacob.” Presumably will be our first cash signing of the summer

Said the other week when it first surfaced he'd do for me as a signing, for all those reasons and, on a free, hardly a rash gamble 

Plenty of the young and brainless section of Twitter rubbishing him before he's through the door (hadn't scored many before last season and that's a farmers league, blah blah) but if he scores a similar amount for us and his general play helps others hit the net he'll be value enough

5ft 11, but he’s a left back so I’ll let him off. He’s tall enough for my team

My only nervousness on this is that I’m unsure an adult should be called Matty

Can't imagine he'd cost much

Under 5' 10".

Got to trust the new regime though i doubt we will sign both Roughan and Jacob if we are going to keep Conway

Roughan has over 100 lge appearances at 22 years of age and played every min of every game last season.

He would come on a free.

Jacob is two years older at 24 only managed 22 appearances be it in the championship, Had injury concerns and would command a fee........Am i missing something?

[Blondi]

The only thing that concerns me about Matty Jacob is that he looks like he's receding and he's only 24, just don't want opposing fans taking the piss out of him as this will no doubt affect his confidence.

Pure Hairism.

Sickening.

I know nothing about Jacobs but if he signs I hope he's a cracker of a player

Likewise or Dalby, only thing i know is we have neither a Natural left back or old fashioned centre forward

So both give us options we currently do not have.

Is he Wayne’s son. If so we are in for a treat

[L/H White]

these are bad signings 

[W.cramp]

I saw a helicopter fly over the reebok yesterday.   Make of that what you will.

I've got two nephews who are called Matts and Jacob.

Can only be a good sign.

Should get his brother Marc as well, he's got a scent for goal

Those two would see a steady a scent up the league
