Ticket For Wembley?

Which Brad To Use For The Job

Now we're going to Wembley, M.O.N has to make a brave choice regarding the goalkeepers.

For me he has to play his strongest team in the final, and that means Brad Friedel must play in goal. Brad Guzan has been great on the way but was found out by Blackburn in the Semi Finals and Manchester United won't be offering him any charity come Feb 28.

Oh well, looks like the chances of a ticket for the final at Wembley are slim to none. I applaud the way Villa distribute the tickets (as they always have done)- they do it perfectly in my opinion. I just wish in some perfect world there was a way of rewarding 15 years of having a season-ticket, years of never missing a game and going all over Europe.

Unfortunately, after a few years of not having a ST, there isn't. Sigh.

Just aside from that, isn't Arsene Wenger a complete fucking prick? Whenever they lose or draw to throws a hissy fit, either not shaking hands or moaning that something wasn't fair.

Now after his side drew at Villa Park we're a "long ball team". Martin was dead right about that being an appalling insult. I'll just add that he's a f*cking idiot.

Snow In Hucc

Here Comes The Snow Again

So last Wednesday the snow arrived, much like last February it was quite deep, and if you're driving - very annoying. Still, the main roads were fairly resonable while the side roads and estate roads were the ones that needed extra care.

On Thursday morning the temperature in the car was -10'. I've never seen that ever before - left alone the -12' when I actually arrived at work. Not that you ever get any thanks for getting into work while others are off "sick", turn up late or not at all.



Daniel has been home with the school, being closed and all training has been cancelled so far which meant at least I could have half an our in snow with Daniel when I got home which we both enjoyed.

Today I've been out with him on his sledge which he's loved! We went round to the Business Park where you could see the snow for miles on the hills and it also has a few small spots where he can slide down in the sledge.



Daniel enjoyed running up the hilly part towards the trees and getting me to lob snowballs in his direction so he could jump out the way and shout "missed me"! Then he'd run down and fire back at close range. We ended up in our back garden, played snow-football and made some snow angels - with snow down the back of his neck and a very runny nose, I thought it was time to call it a day. Just an hour later after tea he fell asleep on the sofa!



You may as well get out in it as there's little on sport-wise today - everything has been decimated and even Wigan's undersoil-heating couldn't cope meaning the game was called off today, the second in a row after Blackburn.

Looking at the forecast there could be more games postponed in the week ahead...
