Pin the Donkey, or more correctly Pin the Tail On The Donkey, was a game played by generations of kids in gentler times, when there were no mobile phones, computers nor the dreaded 'soshul' media! The game involved being blind folded, spun around and then released with pin in hand to stick it in the target, which was a Donkey's 'Arse'nal!

The dialogue associated with footie transfers is unique but short on originality, hence the transfer window 'slamming shut' in 11 days time instead of just being closed.
