When will Kermorgant score his first goal?

[The Cap]

Had to laugh when I read the following extract from the getreading site. After all, in terms of location, that's what I'm doing - 'avin a larf. Let's just say that it's a hard ol' life being a professional footballer. And by the look of things, if his form last Saturday was anything to go by, he'd better carry on lifting a few more boxes.

It’s been a busy time for Kermorgant since he arrived at Madejski Stadium from Bournemouth during the January transfer window.

While adjusting to a new club and new teammates, the experienced forward has also been house hunting with a heavily pregnant wife.

Fortunately that search has now concluded and he is settled in a new home - but the 34-year-old admits it has been a difficult balancing act.

“Moving in January is completely different because you are already in the middle of the Championship so you immediately have to play games and train,” he said.

“In the summer when you are on a break you can organise all your things, your house, move your boxes and stuff.

“But when it’s January it’s hard. My wife is due in April as well so it was not the best timing to move to be fair.”

Kermorgant added: “The biggest concern for me was lifting all the boxes after training. Physically you have to rest, at my age when you go home you should have a nap or just sit on the sofa to rest your legs.

“But when you’re having to move boxes, to go up and down stairs it’s quite annoying.

“My wife of course is expecting a baby so she couldn’t do much and I have to make sure I look after her as well.

“So it’s a relief that it’s now all done.”

Would have though that club were paying him enough to get a removals company in and not just rely on Yann in a van.

Yup. Seems crazy. I dread to think what would have happened
if he'd got a removals injury!

Interesting though. We forget these players have lives, and if he really
did the above (and now he's past that) we should expect
further improvement on the pitch

Oh come on, nothing for Yann in a Van?

What, are we applauding rhymes now?

*sighs* I thought all of the 'man in a van' pieces fit and this was going to be my breakthrough post. *wipes down blackboard choking back the tears*

I think it's 'man with a van' fwiw
