No offence but not sure if this is worth of a new thread. Not sure if JET is on a wind up or not, dont think he's played for a year!6

Undoubtably talented, but seems like he’s got some kind of attitude problem being unable to settle anywhere he’s been.0

Played for them roughly the same time as Cullen played for us, who wasn’t even our player!se9addick said:“home”?

I would take him in L1 if he could prove his fitness.0

He was absolutely unplayable one season for Bristol City. I'd hoped that was the thing Chuks would bring for us, the bulldozing strength with bags of skill. Seemingly similar to Chuks though in that he couldn't cut it at Championship level and then just faded into nothing. Let's hope Chuks doesn't follow that last part.

How he flicked the ball up so he could volley it was clever play.Weegie Addick said:Scored an excellent goal for Livingston today.0 - Sponsored links:

Professional footballer Jay Emmanuel-Thomas has been arrested for orchestrating the importation of drugs.
The 33-year-old striker, who currently plays for Greenock Morton, was arrested at his home in Gourock, near Glasgow, on Wednesday and taken to Carlisle for questioning.
He has been remanded in custody and is expected to appear before Carlisle Magistrates on Thursday, accused of importing class B drugs.
It comes after officers from the National Crime Agency (NCA) discovered 60kg of cannabis with an estimated value of £600,000 in suitcases arriving at Stansted airport from Bangkok.

Had nothing to do with it apparently, even though it's his missus, he played in Thailand recently (probably when he got roped into it) and he's the one that's been organising the flights etc for them0

Lucky for them the seizure happened back in the UK rather than during their stop over in Dubai.1

Such a strange thing to smugle in from there, surely easier to just go to Spain or grow it here.1

Yep, and that was reflected in the sentence of 4 years and not 8 to 10 years which he could've been looking at for a 1st offence if Class A drug depending on the amount.1 -
Watched an episode of that channel 4 barristers programme a few days ago, guy was importing weed from California and it was a fair bit more than £600k worth, got two years.0

The thing I truly hold against him is what the hell he was doing making others smuggle drugs through fucking Stansted. What chance did any of them have? All baggage is scanned3

His lawyer said "the father of two did not realise the enormity of what he was entering into".
Really?3
