That's not really what I said, no.
I'd like to think I'd have enough professional courtesy to not string my employers along with bare faced lies to run my contract out (of which his was worth something wheras in my profession contracts aren't generally sold between employers) so as to get more money from the next employer (who doesn't have to pay for my existing contract) before going to the companies arch rivals.
But that's beside the point.
I'm not saying I wish him harm by any means, far from it. I'd hope I'm not one of the Sol haters that vent their spleen and have a right go at him, I just find it hard to feel much about him at all.
No time for heartache, no time to run and hide,
no time for breaking down, no time to cry.

That's harsh, if it's true. Gotta wonder how much of that was bad agent behaviour, too.
In a maybe futile attempt to inject some positivity into Western-Arab relations, here's how Ipswich Town fans are trying to do their bit. Great story I thought. The kid doing the Veedub sign in the third pic from the bottom made me LOL.

Personally, not 'jumpy' because I'm not overly bothered. It's looking ominous, the way we're playing (although there are several other teams seem to be equally as shite. Unless things can improve soon (next three games should all be win-able, so let's see), I think we'd deserve to go. Couldn't see us coming back up anytime soon either! Sunderland, Portsmouth and Birmingham (along with maybe Charlton & WBA) are our contenders.
Reverse psychology! Works a treat
Is this going to take long, only my foot's gone to sleep and I'd like to catch it up.
Cracking Guardian article about Robbie Fowlers return: Linky
Just when things were going so well, here's a ghost from the bad old days, dandyish in Charles II wig and bunched breeches, taking the applause with a twirl of the scented cuff. Open the theatres! Unpack your rouge! Why doesn't everyone just loosen up around here?
I appear to have entered some alternate dimension.
Today I stood in the Gallowgate end and watched a Newcastle team in which Boumsong looked competent and Ameobi looked like a Premiership striker, and Shearer beat Jackie Milburn's record ten metres in front of me.
I'm stunned. Controlled the game from start to finish and didn't allow Portsmouth a shot on target. Sure, they were pretty rubbish and we'll face far sterner tests ahead, but that was a different Newcastle team today.

They're the best at being smug as well. Think I'll go out and rake some leaves
I've got a funny feeling about this game. Dunno why... Maybe it's a bit of misguided Fowler romance.
Chelsea have not looked very good recently - although they are not losing.
WIn, lose or draw for Liverpool, Chelsea will still win the title. But it's nice to see the look on Mourinho's face when they lose.

Oh, yeah: can't see them fecking the league up at all. Especially as neither us or the Mancs seem capable of properly capitalising on their dropping of a few points here and there recently.
SB: I'd love Fowler to slot a very late winner - the more controversial the better - just to see the face on Moaninho
Oh, and if it started a 10 game Chelsea slump, that'd be good too
