The Mail Bag

Jose Baxter

Anybody have any idea where Baxter is of late?

With our striking crisis, I would have thought the hottest young property at the club would be in and around the first team squad ? especially as earlier in the season and during pre-season he was the first choice 'youngster' ? featuring for the first team a few times..

Is he injured, or has he just dropped behind Lukas in the pecking order? He's not even figured in the last couple of reserve games...

Heard about 2 months ago that he had an injury, which would mean him missing next 4-6 weeks.

With our poor record at getting the injured back ? Saha, Anichebe, Pienaar, Jacobsen et al ? I?m not surprised 6 weeks has become about 10 weeks.

Can't remember actual injured area.

I spoke to him after the Sunderland game while he was signing autographs for fans - he said he has been out injured but is "just about back to full fitness now" (that was on Dec 28th)

He looked good when I saw him against Forest in pre-season and I thought he would have featured more given all our injuries.

Hopefully with our improved form we can do what we’ve been more able to do in latter years of actually bringing these kids on in winning positions for the last 10 or 20 minutes to build their overall play and confidence.

I spoke to him in Garland's last Sunday morning; he said he is hoping to be fit shortly.

I spoke to him in the Lounge Inn on the (28th Dec), couldn’t hear much due to the sound of bottles being smashed and gunfire.

I spoke to him in Widnes town centre on New Years Eve, he called me a cunt and said he had never liked me, even in school when I gave him an apple at lunchtime... hang on, oh no, sorry, that was Johnny Baxter.

I spoke to him on the banks of the Nairobi. He was washing his face in the water, contemplating a solution to the Middle East peace process...

I spoke to him in the Cathedral and he said he was trying to remove the injury curse Steve Round had brought from Newcastle. After shaking his hand, later that night I was admitted to hospital with Epidymitis.

He told me he was due to go out on loan to Marine but was given compassionate leave because his Springer Spaniel bitch, Gretal, was due to give birth any day now.

I went to Spain for Christmas and spoke to him in a fire station with his Spanish half brother Hose B.

Sorry I?ll get my coat...

I am pleased to say that I have never spoken to Jose Baxter or any of his relatives.

I spoke to him 4 days ago in Church Street, he asked me directions to Boots...

Let’s hope he’s back in the squad soon.

When I was in Mexico recently, I thought he’d been sacked, but then looked at the sign properly and realised that it read "Fire Hose"...
OK, my coat is ON and I’m leaving!
