Bannan-a skin
The Pikey Scum gaffer was forced to take a long hard look at himself this week, after two players released in the transfer window scored goals.

Scum replaced Petrov with Scottish talent Barry Bannan.
“He hasn’t turned out to be quite the midfield driving force we’d hoped for,” lamented the Scum boss.
