It's been a fun week with Harry and Nigel

Monday last week, as we all know, was transfer deadline day. We made a right mess of things in the end, bringing no one in, a decision that looks even worse today with the news on Dean Marney.

We weren't the only ones who missed out, but at least no one at Burnley threw a hissy fit and walked out. That pure entertainment was left for Harry Redknapp and QPR.

For much of the window we'd been led to believe that they wouldn't be doing any business other than loans and they promptly brought in West Ham's Mauro Zarate on such a temporary transfer until the end of the season.

However, someone at Loftus Road must have got a bit twitchy in the final hours. The car had been brought round with the window open, all ready for the standard interview. Suddenly they were trying to sign Emmanuel Adebayor from Spurs and even tried to send Zarate back to get Matt Jarvis in on loan.

But the window slammed shut with Harry all in a fluster, so much so that at 5:30 a.m. on the following day he'd handed in his resignation. He told the world that it's due to the surgery he's about to have on his knee; he even said that Tony Fernandes was the one pushing for signings more than he was.

They quickly accepted the resignation and quickly confirmed that the club's policy was going to change, that they would no longer be a club that continued to buy players but one that would develop them.  Now that would have had him resigning. He's 67 now but he's not retired; he says he'll be back.

I enjoyed that story last week but the weekend news from Leicester was even funnier. It started when disrespectful Nigel decided to grab James McArthur after the Palace player, the one he had supposedly tried to sign, accidently knocked him over.

Nigel's telling us it's a joke now but it was anything but a joke when he confirmed to the BBC that he can look after himself. Alan Pardew was close by. It could have been even more fun had he joined in. Meanwhile David Meyler scored for Hull.

If that was enjoyable then Sunday was even better as Sky reported that he'd been sacked only for Leicester, a considerable number of hours later, confirming he hadn't. It turned out that he had but then reinstated after a change of mind. And some think our club is not well run.

The one doing the sacking was chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha (and we think Banaszkiewicz is difficult to spell) but was then reinstated by his son Aiyawatt (with the same surname but I'm not going to attempt it twice) who spends more time at the King Power than his dad.

The coaching staff had all gone and had to be told to return whilst Nigel, looking for someone else to insult, decided to have a go at ex-Fox Gary Lineker for making a mountain out of a molehill over the fiasco with McArthur.

That's Leicester for you, a club who are bigger, better and more professional than us or so we were told.

Still on the subject of managers it was funny to hear that Man United had been accused of playing long ball football. The best part of that was the accusation came from Sam Allardyce after United had sneaked away from the Boleyn Ground with a point on Sunday.

Spurs beat Arsenal on Saturday to celebrate the 80th birthday of former winger Cliff Jones. What a good player he was. It would have been nice to have a photograph of him to use in this article but he chose not to be Cliff Jones as he walked past us on the day we played there just before Christmas.

With us playing on the Sunday, it meant an afternoon with Jeff Stelling on Saturday. Just as I was getting a bit brassed off with it all I'd like to thank him for bringing us news of a couple of very late goals from James Milner and Sadio Mané.

Let's just hope we've learned to deal with corners tomorrow night.

All the results and stats for the weekend are below along with the Premier League leading goalscorers, the disciplinary records of each club and this week's fixtures, with four tonight and six tomorrow.
