Don't know what's worse, crap puns, no puns or repeat puns :(  

 

(see post #32)

 

Definitely no puns.

 

Surely you realise that an 0-pun door policy is just going to lead to confrontation and more bloody immigrants hard-working friends from overseas and Stoke tekkin er jerbs.

Sky Bet Championship high-flyers Derby County have won the race to sign Nuneaton Town's much sought after goalkeeper Kelle Roos.
The Rams and Boro have agreed the transfer of the young stopper for an undisclosed fee, which will also see Steve McClaren bring a full-strength side to Liberty Way for a preseason friendly in the summer.
Roos was a free agent when he joined Boro in November, and he kept a clean sheet in each of his first six appearances, which led to scouts from clubs across the country flocking to look at the tall Dutchman.
In the 13 matches played for Boro, he kept a total of eight clean sheets and conceded just six goals.
Roos is not the first player The Rams have signed from Boro after fewer than 20 appearances, with Malcolm Christie moving after just 19 games, and 12 goals, in 1998.
He will also not be the first ex-Boro keeper to play for them. Les Green made more than 100 appearances for County after spending three years at Manor Park in the 1960s
Boro chief executive Ian Neale has been very busy over the last few weeks as clubs lined up to have a closer look at Roos from Premier League and all Football League Divisions. 
Neale said: "Just two months ago when he signed for us, not many English clubs knew much about him, but this month he really has been in demand.
"Kelle will be missed at the club, despite him only being with us for a very short time. He has been a very popular member of the squad and has showed a first class attitude and fitted in with the ethos of the club and the team.
"Everyone at the club sends him their best wishes for the next stage of his journey. He has a every chance of having a brilliant career"
Neale reiterated the club had to make sure the right deal was done in the best interests of the club, as Roos' contract at the Sperrin Brewery Stadium was due to expire at the end of the season, and any other club could have signed him on a pre-contract basis for nothing after February 1st.
While the fee is not being disclosed by mutual agreement between the two clubs, all Neale was willing to reveal was that the fee the club received would help the club with the running costs of the club.
He added: "Derby County coming to play us in the next preseason will be one of the highlights of our preparations for next season. Even more so if they manage to secure promotion to the Premier League this season. It could be a great money spinner for the club, as well as a great spectacle for our fans, and a brilliant test for our players."
Neale thanked Derby County chief executive Sam Rush and head of football operations Chris Evans for the way the negotiations were handled.
Looking forward, Neale said: "In James Belshaw we have a first class keeper ready and waiting to get back in league action for us, and he has shown his quality, as his form earlier this season earned him and England C call up.
"Manager Kevin Wilkin has options about adding another player to his squad, be that another keeper, or another player he has had his eye on. The next few days will certainly be interesting, and hard work for both Kevin and myself as we look to do what is best for the team, now that we have tried to get the best deal for the club in general. “he also added that the focus will now be to prepare the team for a big test at Luton this weekend continuing to work hard for points and any possible additions will be discussed next week.
On Roos he added: “Game on game he continued to enhance his reputation with strong performances working well with an in form defence, he is commanding and has great positional awareness, strong hands and has showed himself not only as a great shot stopper but excellent handling from crosses. 
Nuneaton Town face Aldershot Town this coming Tuesday 28th January 2014, kick off 7.45pm in a rearranged game.
