Still Rhyl?
Sitting here getting increasingly depressed at this shower trying to overcome the mighty Benfica. In an effort at distraction I’ve been trying to sort out some correctly sized pics of the town. As you can see, it hasn’t quite worked. Ronaldo has just missed a sitter. Surely if it stays like this Fergie will have to seriously consider his position?
65 Minutes – Free kick. Wasted. Ferdinand looks more of a waste of space than ever.
66 Mins – No (United) wingers on the pitch now. At least 3 centre forwards, though.
67 Mins – Ferdinand fails to read simple pass.
71 Mins – Saha confirms he is not, in fact, the new Denis Law.
73 Mins – Wayne’s final touch lets him down. Still The Guardian’s minute by minute website have not published my email.
77 Mins – Ruud turns in box. Loses ball.
78 Mins – Ruud loses ball again. Appears to blame touchline…
81 Mins – Rio confirms he his not the new Jaap Stam, or even the new Ian Ure.
82 Mins – Saha confirms he is not even the new Jimmy Greenhoff.
84 Mins – Ferdinand’s failed back pass almost confirms our exit. Only a matter of time, however.
88 Mins – Park confirms he’s not the new Cantona.
90+2 – Unfortunately Wayne confirms he is not the New George Best. Yet.
Oh well, we can concentrate on the League (Cup) now as we’re not even in the Eufa. Glazer’s business plan now becomes what, exactly?
Er, a mariachi band has just started playing in my courtyard. That is actually a lot wierder than it sounds. I’ve a feeling the fiesta my be starting…
I’m off out for the night.

I loved Jimmy Greenhoff. Remember his sublime header at Goodison against the infallible Scousers? It’s no wonder I’m smashed and smashed off this evening. (How I wish my mum didn’t read this. There really is a time for effing and jeffing and the time, my friends, is now…………but I’ll let Martin start.)

united used to just run out of time, tonight there was just not enough effort, they ran out of ideas, seems if rooney doesn’t perform, we haven’t got a clue. useless. heads must roll, simply cos there was a lack of effort out there.

Sadly, the head must be Alex. He needs to go, I can’t stand any more jibes in the office. How is Martin O’Neal’s Mrs?

If fergie goes the glazers may take the bull by horns. Relation next season. Fingers crossed. Cigars and rum, scousers?

ManU in disarray whilst Leeds have won 4 on the trot! The season is shaping up nicely. By the way hope you had a good b’day buddy…looks like you did.

Relation next season? Is that Upton Scouse for something?
PS Are Rob & Lena now in Colombia?

Hi John,
I haven’t sent anything as I was waiting for some witty repartee to light upon me but alas no muse yet. I’ve enjoyed your travels and glad to see things are working out well.
I guess you haven’t seen my Kogi yet? Iquitos, reminds me of a Che Guevarra comment in Motorcycle Diaries, where he describes people as living thier lives as though it’s a habit they can’t shake…More happy trails to you…Rita in grey gloomy Kelowna
