Everton have little chance. They will be weeping.

Memories. Now, this year it's Chelsea's turn.

Green Mile.
Not as good as Shawshank but the same kind of vibe. I enjoyed it. Mad me sad at the end, somehow I was thinking of my own getting-older parents.

Another month for me.
No need to prepare the flask and butties yet.

I'm hoping to get at least 15 days out there this season.

A classic.

Surprised there hasn't been more talk of this new mimimum number of "home grown" players rule that will come in next year.
Quote:England's Premier League clubs have agreed new rules on the number of "home-grown" players in their squads.From next season, each club will, at the end of every transfer window, have to name at least eight "home-grown" players in a squad of 25.
To qualify as home grown, a player will have had to be registered for at least three seasons at an English or Welsh club between the ages of 16 and 21.
In addition, clubs have been warned to adhere to new financial rules.
In agreeing to a quota on "home-grown" players from the beginning of the 2010-11 season, Premier League clubs have been guided by Uefa's interest in the development of young players.
"It will encourage youth development and the promotion of young players," said Premier League chief Richard Scudamore. "It's a rule which we think will give clubs an extra incentive to develop players, and to make a better return from their investment in youth.
"Make, rather than buy, is our intention."
Minister for Sport Gerry Sutcliffe welcomed the new rules.
"These moves will encourage clubs to develop and bring through young talent and help ensure clubs are financially stable," he said.
"I am pleased the Premier League intend to impose tough sanctions on clubs that take big financial risks that could threaten their future. Clubs must be sustainable for the long-term health of the game in this country."
According to a recent poll from the Professional Football Players' Observatory, English clubs employ the highest proportion of expatriate players, with 59.2% coming from abroad.

No plans yet. But there will be. And my flask and butties will be ready.

Here's a shocker from today
Mum attacked by killer chipmunk
Quote:YOUNG mum told yesterday how she is too frightened to go in her garden - after she was attacked by a "killer" Siberian chipmunk.Roxanne Whelan spotted two of the snappy critters when she popped out of her house for a ciggie.
One ran towards her and hopped on a sofa she keeps in the garden, a couple of feet away from her.
Roxanne, 20, said: "It was staring right at me and wasn't frightened of me at all. The next thing I knew it was jumping straight towards me and went on the attack.
I thought it was going to bite me. I screamed my head off and ran for the kitchen door, then banged it shut and sat quaking inside."
The mum, who has a five-month-old son, Kye, added: "Now I'm too scared to go in the garden and worried about the baby.
"I can't even smoke because I don't want to go out there."
She can't even smoke, poor lass.

As simple as it looked really good fun.
Never surfed or anything like that before.
Soon took to the boarding though.

The footie community really is a great one.
Chelsea are going to tell Terry to put a transfer request in if he wants to go to City. It would be scary if City really did become a force in terms of on the pitch.

I spent a day at both Kusatsu and Manza this last winter, Srog.
Great few days. Very different though. Kusatsu is very much an onsen town (check out muikabochis pics he posted) whereas Manza is basically just the resort/hotels. Both not particularly big places but when we went the snow was great and we had a good full day at both. I'd say like others that more than a few days for the skiing is too much, but definitely worth a look.

I thought they were kids books - last summer a nephew showed my his and I started reading it, and thought it was fun. Ended up reading the whole thing.

Helmets was the word I was looking for I think.

Steady for 3 years now.
Not likely to increase unless I move somewhere.
I'm not moaning though.
