Should be at the boarding gate for my flight to Nairobi right now. Have to check with airline again in about an hour for latest update. Ho hum.

Massively harsh considering the stability he provided to a club that is over ?100m in debt with players - most of whom don't give a toss - salaries around 80% of turnover.

LG - shout it from the roof tops. Its an odd league all round so far. Keep the run going and it can be yours...

Decent game at St Andrews. Draw a fair result. Straight question. Does Defoe aleays fall over that much?

Blues making the semi-finals to. And no sweeter way of doing than beating the V*le. Only regret not being able to make it up there this evening. And now I'll have a whiskey in my whiskey and see who we get in the draw. A quiet encounter in East London awaits. So that's Millwall and West Ham both away in the same week!

Millwall away! Couldn't be easier to get to. Getting back may be a bit trickier though.

Pleasing thing about the second innings is the amount of time England have spent at the crease. Too often in the recent past they have scored at 3.5/4 an over but been all out in 80 overs. Yesterday was far more disciplined. Hope they can maintain this tonight, make the game safe and maybe have 30/35 hostile overs to rattle a few of the Aussie top order.

See Law 12 - if the referee considers the challenge to be careless or reckless it is a foul. I'm sure Naismith had no intent but it could certainly be argued to be both careless and reckless. Harsh, but correct.

Not unless Rough Trade South has recently opened.

Well taken goal by Lee Bowyer and a brilliant display by Ben Foster. Wdited to say: Birmingham 0 v Chelsea 0 (get some early Christmas shopping in) - glad I didn't take RD's advice.

No Woman No Cry = Bob Marley & The Wailers

Have flown Continental to Guatemala via Houston (3 years ago) without any problems - certainly none in transit at Houston - and have used both airlines on east coast transatlantic flights over past few years. I think both airlines charge for drinks now and poor in flight service seems to be prevalent on US based airlines (probably as most have been in bankruptcy in recent years, there is not a lot of staff morale). If there is little to decide in price, I would opt for the airline that can offer the most convenient timings/shortest overall travel time.

Happy with Blues point today but greatly helped by what can only be described as a lacklustre* performance by Citeh. * and I think I'm being slightly generous here.

Handbags in the boardroom. Come on boys, play nicely. Blues statement Hammers statement

Too Much Too Young - The Specials

Damn. Wouldn't mind seeing them but don't get back till 10-ish.

A decent payday then retirement - he's not getting any younger.

And this on a day when one player can hold his club hostage on a contract worth ?50m (allegedly).

Looking very bleak for Pompey according to breaking news. Pompey
