    Bugger!

    Reminded by my nipper it's his prospective school's open evening today. Likely to miss much of the game as I'll be admiring science labs and kitchen facilities. Time to upgrade my giffgaffs data package methinks.

    Resting Austin for this game also gives some really great experience to Olomola who has looked very impressive for the U23's

    Apparently he goes by the nickname of 'Fela', and he's eligible for England, despite both parents being Nigerian. Go on Fela!!

    Oh yeah, and we nicked him from Arsenal, which makes a nice change.

    Won't be watching tonight on TV; Arabic TV has little inclination to televise a football match with an Israeli team playing :emoticon-0101-sadsm.

    If they did - I am pretty sure this would be the perfect example of a one-sided commentary!

    Thinking further - it might actually be the only time we ever got commentators who would praise us for our brilliance rather than suggesting we only won because the other team were rubbish!!

    Indeed. He's really being asked to work much harder than he's ever done, in my opinion. When he started against WHU his legs were completely shot by 70 mins. That's sort of understandable because he's a big chap - you look at his arms and shoulders and he's carrying some weight. He can't muscle up in the legs anymore because what he really needs is more lung capacity to make him last. He has plenty of power, he just needs to acquire a little more duration. Makes sense to give him a break, otherwise by mid-season he'd be blown.

    I suspect that shelling nuts must be more common in this part of the world....resulting in lots of loose nut shells if it was allowed in the stadium. Only a guess.

    Now I'm stoked!
    Apparently his friend and parents are also going and we're giving them a lift, so no room for me in the car. I reluctantly, but heroically volunteered to miss out. My beer is ready for Be'er, bring it on.

    So Hesketh starting against, spot on the bench for Stephens and Olomola. I already like Puel more than Koeman.

    Certainly not parking the bus, not that I thought we would. Nice that Hesketh's presence does not make me feel the team is weaker, 'hope he does well.

    Great! So pleased for Hesketh, he deserves that after his performance against Palace. Good team!
