Good evening. Sensationalist headline, so this needs to be good Aitch! Rest assured that it genuinely is. This is from a source so reliable and true I rarely blog much from the old girl as it might compromise matters for her. Whilst this is tasty, it’s a good few people removed. So we’re all good. Mark Hughes has not only been lined up, but Mark Hughes is on standby.  Should ‘circumstances beyond anyone’s control’ (see what I did there? and big hello to the Metropolitan Police Force) arise, then there has to be a Plan ‘B’.  Well Mark Hughes is…

Good morning. That charming bunch from Fulham are on their way over from Second Hand Fridge then and I can’t believe were in Gameweek 17 and I’ve yet to wheel out that hackneyed old phrase, ‘This game is pivotal’. A reflection upon just how well things have been going, I guess.  The sinister spectre of injuries looms though and we are still waiting to see if the boy Bale will be fit. The Mirror says he will be, the Daily Mail says he won’t. Azza Blud’s injury has been revealed as small tear that might be right in a matter…

Good morning. A thing of beauty landed this morning and this is called sharing. What is wonderful is the classy manner this has been put together. Not only do you get Roger Lloyd Pack narrating, but the video is high end production quality. If this doesn’t ‘get’ you at some stage, you’re just weird.

Good afternoon, I trust you’re all still basking in the reflected glory of our valiant boys. While you’re in a positive mood perhaps you’d give away two minutes of your executive schedule and take the End Of Year survey. To participate, just click on the image below. Ta.

Good morning. Despite having an IQ likened by me to ‘the size of a planet’ when the game finished and the league table popped up on the TV screen I said out loud, ‘Wow, look at that’. Do you think it’s helpful we retain some modesty and indeed some small degree of awe while things are progressing so excellently? In the opening minutes of the game there was a lovely move that broke down on the left when I think Sandro misplaced a pass and the ball was stroked out of play. This drew a significant groans from a section of…

Good morning. Don’t cha wish your left back was A&E? He not only plays football very well but he is a committed Oyster card user. And then we discover he owns the Shelby Mustang GT500 Eleanor of Gone in 60 seconds fame.  I’m not into cars and even I think that’s cool.

Good morning and for those of you in the UK welcome to the weather that started the heating bills you’ll be glaring at next year. So keep wrapped up. You don’t want a chilly willy. Few things worse than a cool tool. Sunderland indoors it is then.  Martin O’Neil is to my mind a pleasant enough chap but an extremely overrated manager.  Sunderland currently sit sixteenth in the league and incidentally a mere 5 points better off than …Bolton. I’m struggling to see this as having much to do with Steve Bruce being a bad manager. What I can see…

Good afternoon. Certain conditions lack that essential wow factor. Depression like dementia, is one of those conditions that just sort of only nearly exists in the consciousness of far too many people. Of course, it’s easier to identify with something you can see. Probably why the RSPCA do such continuously brisk business. You can see from the ribs sticking out and the beaten look in its eyes that a dog has been abused.  Yet Granddad forgetting your daughter’s name is probably just down to him being overtired. Your brother’s reluctance to go to work is down to his bone idol gene…
