I can't open youtube links in the office, I'm going to assume it's a clip of Kingsley windmilling.

Has posted a pic on his Instagram suggesting he is taking the number 10 shirt, and has answered a fan to say he will be playing left wing.....

Lol he does look thoroughly miserable in every picture of him on the OS.

Rest of the squad seem to be smiling though, I like the pic of Guthrie and Adkins sharing a joke. Perhaps we're really gunna see what he can do this year.

Royston is a dog's name
La la la la (oi!) la la la la

Repeat

(to the tune of "Let's go oxf*rd mental")


Last time I sung that was to one of our ex-youth players, Clovis Kamdjo, at Barnet.

I am however yet to meet a dog called Clovis (or Royston for that matter), so I cannot vouch for it's authenticity.

I drunkenly sang that to Rufus Brevett when I saw him out in Maiders about three years ago.


Last time I sang that was against a Rufus at Elm Park.(Charlton?)

Several thousand of us south bankers affected him so badly he had to be subbed. Poor guy.

Brevett. QPR. We lost 2-1 iirc. I think he may have scored a late winner.

Edit: Or not on the winner

There's one where he's with the fitness coach. It's basically first day at school for him and he's being made to run laps. I'd look a lot angrier actually.

Miserable? Focus?

I'd suggest he's thinking hard about where he's going to get a fry up on the way home.

I see a face that's just finding out that the Royals isn't the nickname for Man City.
