Pole Position

It's shaping up alright, I suppose. Top without playing particularly well. Marlon not firing them in yet. The Duke yet to get off the mark. Mahon playing worse than Neil Price's mother (apparently). But doesn't Johnson look good, ill-advised theatrics aside? As does the rest of the table - why, hello there Wolves.

In the battle of the abbreviations (AKA BotA) it's WBA v QPR today. The Boing Boing Baggies are winning - so our lead will be cut to 1 point by this afternoon.

Bring on Sheffield Tuesday.

The Agony of Choice

"Just hurry up and choose."
"Hmmmm.... I'll have Chocolate Buttons"
"Ok."
"No, I want Jelly Tots"
"Jelly Tots it is"
"Dad, do I have to have sweets, can I have stickers instead?"

Inevitably, Dad would be so exasperated with my inability to make a decision that he'd end up buying me sweets and stickers (I know - what a spoilt brat.) It's so difficult to make these types of decisions though. When there is so much good stuff to choose from.

And you'll have seen where this is going quite a way back now, but Aidy must now feel like a child in a sweet shop. Marlon, Doris, The Duke. All looking tasty, like chocolate ice-creams on a hot day. Which ones do you go for today? Do you dare play all three? I wouldn't want to be in the opposition defense the day that happens. This weekend Aidy played safe, and responded to Doris' commitment to the club, by rewarding him with a start. 6 minutes in, faith repaid, Vicarage Road is like a big love-in and the weekus horribilis was forgotten.

So, with new, pumped up Doris with his new shorter, blonder locks, seemingly clearing the air and putting his mark on a new and improved 4-year-deal, the club now has a potentially 60 goal-a-season strike force. And that is without Smudger remembering how to shoot. See the goals below.

It's enough to make you want the next two weeks to pass as quickly as possible, especially as Heskey has been recalled to the England squad.

UPDATE: D'oh! What's the point of putting videos on youtube, but not allowing people to post them? Oh well, you can still click and see the goals here. No great hardship, really.
