It won't get much worse than this and i take the blame for it.

I should have shown more respect but i didn't and so i apologise.

Bolton(A) Lge Cup 3rd Rd
Team:
Westerveld
Stalteri Huddlestone Hofland Kleber
Mascherano
Grosbahs Kallon Bierkofa
Eliakwu Farnerud

** Eliakwu was replaced by Raulin after 2mins of the game due to injury. He is out for 5 or 6 days with a nasty bruise on his jaw froma clash of heads.

That happening was a omen from the start that things weren't going to go my way. I was more interested in giving guys games than winning i suppose.

We had our chances and we blew them and Bolton won 1-0.

Mascherano gave away a penalty after 52mins and James Collins converted from the spot.

We also had a penalty but Kallon hit the post and the goalie saved the rebound. We also hit the woodwork on another 3 occasions. Sometimes your luck just isn't in.

Again i apologise to the fans, especially those who travelled up for the game.

I promise to never be that stupid again.

Folks just a quick message:
I've gotta date, don't get to excited though because i don't know this girl at all. It all happened yesterday purely by chance.

Her name is Julie and she is the manageress of a clothes store in town.

She had dropped a load of shopping on the road and i helped her pick it up. Only problem was the bottle of coke she'd bought exploded all over the pair of us and because we were near my place i told her to come to mine to get dried off. She was a little unsure at first and in this day and age i'm not surprised but i told her that even if she just wanted to come to the door and i'd get her a towel. She done the latter but then she seemed to realise that i'm a sound bloke so she came in dried off and i phoned her a cab.

As she left she gave me her number and said that i was one of the very few gentlemen she'd met in a long time and to call her today to meet up for a drink.

I don't think she knows who i am or what i do so that's a good thing in my book.

Clothes - hmmmmmm t-shirt and jeans approach. Subtle and stylee.

Wish me luck, AGAIN.

Sounds like the movie "Notting Hill" and how the two main characters met. I hope for your sake that she's like Julia Roberts, but I don't know if you're like Hugh Grant.

Readers input. I like it.

Good to see the season is still going well. :thup:

I'm probably a bit more like Billy Connolly but not as funny.
I didn't realise the notting hill thing but you are right.
Cheers again Ryno, i should probably put you on the payroll for being a loyal supporter as such.

Cutting straight to it today, got my date tonight.

Ipswich(H)
Team:
Landreau
Mabizela King Upson Stalteri
Prutton
SWP D'Alessandro Richardson
Keane Kamara

This game was a must win to stop the recent lapse in form. My boys showed some metal and walked away 2nil winners.

D'Alessandro as per usual was the man to show the skill and vision to open the scoring when things were a bit tight. He collected a poor clearance on his chest and then hit a sublime chip that caught the goalie just off his line.

The second of the game came from Wright-Phillips who latched on to a short pass back and rounded the goalie before tapping home.

I must admit i was a bit worried about our recent blips against Charlton and Bolton but this has convinced me that we will give everything to win the title.

Have a great weekend.

Hi folks just a wuick mention about my date and a update for tomorrows game against PSV in the champions league.

I won't be meeting Julie again. We were sat having a light snack anfd a few drinks and she started picking her nose and i'm not 100% positive but she might have had a wee munch on it as well. Uggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh is all i can say. She asked to meet up again but i told her that i was gay and didn't realise she liked me in that way.

The PSV game:
We have a few guys out with minor knocks. The main ones being D'Alessandro and Richrdson. I'd imagine that Beasley and Hitzlsperger will come in.

Anyway i'm off to have lunch with the boys so enjoy your day.

Howdy folks,

It's happy Hugo here.
Tonight we had the chance to secure our path into the second phase of the CL. We done it and i'm delighted because we can go into the last 2 group games and try one or two things and give a few boys that are on the fringes of the squad a chance to get some games under there belts.

PSV(H) CL Group stages
Team:
Landreau
Mabizela King Upson Gardener
Guarin
SWP Hitzlsperger Beasley
Keane Kamara

7mins gone and that man Robbie Keane had put us 1 up. He collected a 35 yard pass from Hitzlsperger and hit a low drive past the goalie.

1-0 at half time was a good score for PSV as we should have scored more. At half time we subbed Ledley King for Stalteroi because King had picked up a knock.

Stalteri done something he doesn't do very often, he scored to put us 2-0 up. He ran on to a cross field pass from Beasley and hit a shot that the goalie got a hand to but couldn't keep out. Stalteri almost done a lap of honour to celebrate.

Then with 71mins gone we made it 3-0. DaMarcus Beasley cut inside his marker and found ghimself with a clear path to goal. He noticed the goalie was coming out fast so he just bent a lovelly wee shot into the onion bag.

Final Score: 3-0

The only down side to the game is that King is out for 5 days after picking up a neck injury but i'm sure we have enough cover to survive.

Have a good week

Evening all,

Now i know i thought i could manage without King for a game or two, well i was probably wrong when it came to todays game against Birmingham.

Ledley is such a strong charcater and when you are 1-0 up with 15mins to go he makes sure the team is organised and solid. We missed that today and that's why we ended up only coming away from St.Andrews with 1 point.

Birmingham(A)
Team:
Landreau
Mabizela Huddlestone Hofland Stalteri
Prutton
Kallon Mascherano Kleber
Raulin Farnerud

I know that the team i put out hadn't played together often but after the midweek game i had a few injuries and tired players so i felt i had to give guys like Kamara and Hitzlsperger a rest.

Birmingham started the game brightly and they got a few corners and had a few long range efforts but nothing overly worrying. Then after the 5min storm we started to play a bit and show some sort of play. It was after 8mins that we put together our first good chance. Hofland played a neat pass to Prutton who ran straight towards the Birmingham goal. He then tapp4ed the ball to Raulin who took one touch before dinking the ball over the goalie and into the net. 1-0 up and things were looking good.
Birmingham then spent the next 38 mins trying to find a way through our defence but Huddlestone and Hofland were like to giant walls and nothing was getting past them.
The second half was pretty much the same but after 74mins Birmingham got down the left wing and Karyaka whipped over a good ball which was heading for Luckett but Mabizela apparently fouled him. I'm not so sure but the ref gave it so that's that. Karyaka took the pen and sent Landreau the wrong way.
Final score 1-1.

I can't grumble about the result because Birmingham did play the better footie but the penalty decision was a bit dodgy. Mabs told me he didn't touch Luckett but there ain't much point in worrying about it now.

That's me for today folks but i'll be back on as per usual after the next game. I just hope i can talk about a win next time.

Have a good un.

Hugo
