I'm still feeling awful after the weekend s session.
Leicester today, another tough cookie to break down. I didn't see them coming here to have a go so we setup to get goals and to try and keep our winning streak going and we did. 4-1 and that was easy going on Leicester as we could have easily scored 8 or 9.
This game had the perfect start when Robbie Keane scored after just 1min 27secs. Richardson crossed and Robbie volleyed home.
The perfect start became a even better when Prutton scored form 25 yards after just 3mins.
Then about 5mins before the break we wrapped it up and put a nice wee bow on it when Kamara latched onto yet another good Richardson cross and slid the ball into the onion bag.
Half Time 3-0 and cruising.
The only blip in our game came after 59mins when Kalou scored for Leicester when he got a bit of luck with a deflected shot landing at his feet for him to make it 3-1.
Finally with 4mins to go Kamara restored our 3 goal advantage when he headed in a cross from Beasley.
4-1 and i am delighted. We have come away from games like todays with a point here and there when we should have won but today we put that right.
I'm off to celebrate with Old Gauston and Rudi.
I'll pop up a post tomorrow with our Champions League draw and my take on the teams we get.
See ya

I shouldn't have added to my hangover from the weekend with a boozin session last night but i did and my god am i suffering. The cleanin woman woke me up at 8.20am this mornin with her hoover. My god do women not know when a man has a hangover he needs his peace.
Anyway the Champions League Draw:
We got:
PSV - Good young dutch side
Reggina - Upcoming force in Italy
Fenerbahce - They have a good record in the CL especially at home.
I have to say i'm delighted with that draw, it's by no means a easy one but we have a great chance of getting through it.
The bad news from today is Paul Stalteri has picked up a minor ankle knock which will rule him out for 2 weeks.
Right that's enough from me, i'm off to my bed.

Today was going to be our toughest test so far this season. Aston Villa away is never easy and they have had there fair share of wins against us over the years but today wasn't one of them.
The first of our 3 goals came after 24mins through Diomansy Kamara when he collected a pass from Wright-Phillips and rammed the ball home to papa.
The the fun began in the 2nd half when Tim Borowski levelled things up after 55mins. Villa could smell blood but i could see it so i made a change that worked a treat. I brought on Farnerud for Kamara and he changed the game. After 73mins Farnerud collected the ball out on the left and he cut inside and hit a shot into the opposite corner of the net. 2-1.
Then 10mins later he got his second. Kallon who had come on for SWP collected a clearance from Upson and hit a long ball over the top and Farnerud collected it and took it round the goalie before tappin his baby home. 3-1 get in.
I'm a bit surprised we managed to kill off Villa in the end because they are a strong side but i'm happy as larry because it keeps us on top of the league and unbeaten. Long may it continue.

Not sure why i'm thinking of Harry Enfields scouser sketch but i am.
I have some good and bad news concerning players today. The bad news is Kallon has torn his groin muscle and is out for a month. The good news is Javier Mascherano has arrived safely from Argentina and a wee bit of good news came my way as well. I won manager of the month, yipppppeee.
I also found out from my local bookie that we are 18/1 to win the Champions League. I think i'll hold off on that bet.
Todays game:
Fulham at home. It's a derby and derby games are always hard to call. I fancied our chances purely because of the form we are in and i was right to be confident. We won 3-1.
D'Alessandro just keeps me so smiley, it took him 3mins to keep make me more smiley. He curled home a free kick from the edge of the area to put us 1-0 up.
After 34mins Prutton made my day when he ran on to a pass from Farnerud and hit a thunderous drive past the goalie from 12 yards to make it 2-0.
Then Farnerud made it game over when he got through on goal from a D'Alessnadro pass and tapped the ball home.
Half Time 3-0. In the dressing room i told the boys to enjoy the game and give the fans some entertainment.
They did the usual stuff, lots of keep ball and the odd flick n trick. The only spot on the game for us was when we gave Charisteas a chance to fire a shot in which took a deflection off Upson and past Landreau to make it 3-1.
Fianl Score: 3-1. I was happy. 3-1 in a derby is a good result and it keeps us on our roll.
Have a good weekend folks.

The flight home from Turkey was a hairy one. The flight seemed to be on a bouncy, bouncy path and my god i was crappin myself. I had this feeling that the boy would say get your head down, so you can kiss your arse goodbye. Thankfully it's over now.
Fenerbahce(A) was never going to be easy because we had players on international duty and a few injured but we came out with a great result. 3-0 away is just what you need to start your campaign in the champions league.
The game started badly because Kleber picked up a sprain inhis ankle and had to come off after 3mins.
I had a horrible feeling that it was a sign that things were going to go ass up.
It took 20mins for that feeling to go away. Raulin played a 1-2 with Farnerud before hitting a sweet shot into the bottom corner of the net. 1-0. Raulin Then made me jump out of my seat as he flung his body at a Wright-Phillips cross and somehow got the ball past the goalie. It showed great determination from the young lad and he got his reward for it. Farnerud wrapped up the points on 72mins when he rose like a salmon to head home SWP's cross. 3-0 and 3 points.
When the game ended we weren't hanging about as the fans seemed a bit upset. I'm ecstatic and feeling sick it's a strange combo. I'll let you know how i get on with it next week.
Have fun folks and don't do anything i wouldn't.

Cup news first folks. We got Bolton away in the Lge Cup
Injury update:
Kleber is out for 4 weeks
Now before i go onto todays game. Man United at home. I'll jsut sign a cheque to the FA for 4k.
Rob Styles i hate you, you are a ******* ****** and i can't believe they'd let you pick a winner of a drawing comp for 2 year olds never mind ref a big game. I swear that if i see you out and about i'm going to drag your arse to Speccy Savers and by you some glasses and then to the fish market so i can beat you with a giant kipper. Do you get where i'm going with this you stupid ******* muppet.
Now, all you need to know about this game was that Styles is a w*****. Luque scored for Man Utd after 7mins when he fouled Upson but that prat Styles waved play on, so Luque was clean through and scored.
Then Robbie Keane equalised after 41mins when he got onto a rebound froma Kamara shot but amzingly Styles said Kamara had fouled the defender he went past before having his shot. Styles is the only person in the stadium who seen it and Man Utd hadn't claimed for it but he gave the free kick all the same.
Then he went on to book 5 of my boys for nothing challenges. He thinks he is the star of the show, well i'm sorry ya clown but your not so get to ****.
I'm incredibly cheesed off so i'll say no more.
