Watched the last episode of Ackley Bridge last night, not sure if they have been given a second series? Quite enjoyed it throughout though. That science teacher is an absolute WID.

Doing the game in Utrecht, then going to watch Eindhoven V Roda on Saturday.

Biglia finally looks set to leave Lazio and join AC Milan. Lucas Leiva from Liverpool going to Lazio.

That was my favourite FM, racked up a stupid amount of hours on it. Tempted to give it another go now, whilst waiting for the new one.

I still find it mad that they are pushing this rule, if anything, to me it almost seems worse that clubs will only interview a black candidate because they have to. Not because he/she has the correct skills for the job. Maybe I am being naive to it, but I honestly believe if there was a black manager who was good enough for a job and proved to be better than other applicants, he would get the job. I can't imagine anyone now, factoring their bloody skin colour into it.

This. I gave up listening a good couple years back, found him far too much to handle. Which is a shame, because the likes of Tim Vickery were really informative to listen to. Not listened to the Football Ramble in ages, but will probably give it a go again at some stage. Might be wrong but a couple of the guys who are on it, seem to have a spot on Talksport now, is that right? Either that or incredibly similar voices. Jimmy Bullards Magic Sponge podcast had me close to tears on several occasions, really liked that. Mainly as the people he had in were real journeymen footballers. Had Joe Jordan on once, who was a nightmare to interview, gave them nothing. KUMB (Knees Up Mother Brown) podcast is essential listening for any West Ham fan, a lot of ex players and a couple of managers. Some really good insightful chats on there.

Really think he will be a decent signing for Aberdeen, West Ham signed him from Bristol City (when McInnes was in charge) to help on the promotion push. Thought he was a very good little player, a lot of pace and worked like f**k. Scored two absolute beauties for us as well. Unfortunately found himself behind Carlton Cole and Vaz Te who were bang in form. Took a bad injury in the pre-season before the return to Premiership, and then broke his leg. Allardyce commented on numerous occasions that he thought he had the potential to crack the Premiership, only the timing of his injuries stopping him get a chance.

Thanks mate, just managed to get a return to Carlisle without a railcard for £26. Much appreciated. Also plenty of time to get to Villa park if you get a cab.

Hooked to Ackley Bridge at the moment, never watched Waterloo Road which a lot say it is a direct copy of.

The reason that toothpaste occasionally burns your tongue when you use it, is because it contains three ingredients that are often found in curries.

Yep, found a few of those, and they were rammed full of undesirables. Wasn't that impressed with Oslo. Moss was lovely though, lovely little town, with some fantastic restaurants.

Worked with a bloke like this before, proper 50/50 as to what mood he would turn up in. Formerly in the army, or claimed to be. Could never decided if I thought he was talking shit or not. On my first day, he took me out into the yard to show me the layout and noticed I had a pen and notebook (just to jot down pieces of information) he took them off me "for a look" and promptly threw them in a skip before proclaiming "You won't need these here you fanny". Unfortunately I did need them as I worked in the office. We never got on particularly well.

Work on a floor of about 30 folk, most are alright and let me get on with browsing the web all day. However not one of them likes football. No interest in it whatsoever.

Would love to drink whiskey, my old man and Grandad both enjoy a dram (Talisker and Te Bheag being the favourites respectively) but at 18, I drunk a bottle of Whyte & Mackay and promptly spewed my load everywhere. Since then, even the smell of whiskey gives me a cold shiver. Just wondering if there would be a good one to try and get a taste for, a friend suggested Aberlour?

Me and a mate went to Gdansk about two years back for a game on a Saturday afternoon, then were going to fly back after. Unfortunately it got moved to the evening so we didn't get to go. Had a look at the ground though and it is absolutely quality. Found a little supporters club type bar (I saw bar, it was a static caravan) and as we walked in the place fell silent. We quietly supped our 30p beers before being joined by two mad Polish b*****ds who insisted we drunk vodka with them. Long story short, we missed our flight and had to get home the next day. Still didn't make the bloody football.

Adele is on at Wembley this weekend, and it seems most of the office is going. Predominately women, and by f**k it is killing me hearing them plan their trip. Cannot decide on the best route in or out, a few have said they will drive as the queues won't be THAT bad. They just seem to make such a meal out of the most basic things.

Fucking load of pish. Sacked with two games to go being 5 points off the play offs. Really odd league, they have four sections of the season (9 games a section) and whoever is top at the end of the section gets a place in the play off.

Started a season this morning with FC Eindhoven in the Dutch second division, sod all money, fairly crap facilities, but a few decent players. Looking forward to this one.

Sure beats being run out of a pub followed by a piece of chicken. Good old Hibs.

Had a really odd one last night, and I can't stop thinking about it for some reason. Usually dreams like that are when you knob a horrific bird, and then question yourself all day as to why you were thinking about her. This one however, I was walking up a country road, and hopped over a fence where my Dad was strimming a field. I noticed a bull close to him, who looked small, but had massive horns. Shouted over to him to be careful, and he just said "remain calm and you will be fine", so I started walking over and this massive fucking pig came out of nowhere and started running at me, again my Dad shouted to remain calm but I was on my toes, I ran out the field (which now had no fence) and down this road. One of those dreams where you just can't run fast enough, I looked behind me and the pig was so close. I tried running diagonally to confuse it, but it caught me and bit my arm. I was shaking my arms all over, to try and get it off, but it wouldn't release it's grip. Eventually I managed to throw my jacket over it's head, and trip it over. It just lay on the ground. I started running back to the field to find my Dad and he was walking down the road with two Fulham programmes in his hand, asking if I wanted to go to the match. The alarm then went off, and I woke up in a dazed and confused state.

I have to get that train pretty much daily, luckily on it at Hayward's Heath so pretty much guaranteed a seat, but the amount of absolute imbecile c***s that get on it every day never fails to amaze me. My old man, still living in Scotland came down the other month and we were going to watch Portsmouth just for something to do. We were sat in a carriage with some hooray Henry who insisted on telling anyone who cared to listen his deal of the century. I knew this sort of person annoys the shit out of my Dad, and within minutes he was mimicking his yuppy accent. "Oh yah, great deal for the company yah". It raised quite a few sniggers from others which is unusual as my old man is an unfunny git, but it had the desired effect as the bloke got up and left the carriage. I think if I ever had any form of power, I would implement a phone ban on trains. Or possibly you are allowed a ten second call to inform someone time of arrival etc.

I really enjoyed Craven Cottage, good ground to tick off. The natives are very quiet, but if you have a good away following, makes for a good day out. Loftus Road, only been there twice, but a really tight little ground. On top of the action.

Yeah mate, should be fine for both. Did quite a few Fulham midweek/Friday games when I first moved to London.

Apparently we were interested, but could not get anywhere near what County were asking. No idea what that would be. Watched the league review on BT Sport the other week, and sure they said he was responsible for nearly 50% of County goals. Losing someone like that could easily see you drop.

Someone will have them, really good idea the auction. West Ham did similar on leaving the Boleyn. Flogged every piece imaginable. The only issue was that they had taken photos of numerous signage around the ground, which they thought they would take down at a later date, only for it to be nicked after the last game Raised over a million in total though, obviously Hearts won't get near that figure, but a sound enough idea.
