Ha, and yet they still didn't sign Teddy Sheringham. And as we depart to safer grounds, there's just time for me to overhear the Luton man lamenting his team's summer transfer policy to only buy players over the age of 57. "Is it balls," I think, albeit very quietly to myself, before darting a free man into the open kitchen area, and grabbing Sports Interactive's Watford-hailing bigwig Miles Jacobson by the shoulder: "Dude, Football Manager 2008 looks amazing! Can we sit down somewhere quiet to discuss all its fantastic new features in detail?" Quickly realising my position to be a precarious one, I sneakily crawl through the Millwall guy's legs, who is conveniently distracted by a Spurs man's gnash-teethed, fist-clenched proclamation that it's still possible for West Ham to be relegated. It's just like reading the Daily Mail, only with an impending threat of violence. To make matters worse, I find myself boxed into a corner by two massive Spurs fans, a Luton fan, two intoxicated Arsenal fans and - worry, worry - a Millwall fan, making my claret-and-blue-tinted opinions on the whole debacle somewhat unheard. Even at a cosy, vodka cocktail-fuelled gathering to informally discuss the exciting new features of Football Manager 2008, the subject of the Argentine's ownership still manages to dominate a third of conversations.
