Not Fit To Wear The Shirt

As predicted last week, it has not taken long for the Special One to fall out with Paildo over his future with the Sunburned Zebras.

After paying f £10 for his shirt (someone had to) Paildo was given the impression that he would be a key member of the starting line-up whenever he was available.

The Special One has subsequently informed his flatmate that this is not the case and although he can expect to be a member of the squad, he cannot be guaranteed a starting berth, despite the fact they live together.

Paildo has already taken retaliatory action by informing the Special One not to bother turning up to play for Paildo's works' team on Thursday.

This is not great news for the Zebras as the Special One clearly needs as much fitness work as he can get as he bids to improve his touch and cut down on the number of scoring opportunities he gift wraps for the opposition.

Paildo is rumoured to have subsequently made himself unavailable for selection next week - unconfirmed rumours suggest that he may have vowed never to play for the Zebras again - and a merry little debate is apparently going on as to whether the Special One should issue Paildo with a refund for his shirt or insist that he keeps it as a reminder of his stillborn Zebra career.

In other news, Austisco is unavailable next week as he will be playing fives but Vanhoino and Latinaldo are expected to return.
