His positioning for Gervinho's goal was absolutely incredible. That deaf, dumb and blind boy, sure can't keep in goal. I seriously think we should get Dexter Blackstock back to give Tommy a run for his money. He's an Antiguan international after all.

We should sign Michael Gazzaniga too while we're here. I reckon he'd get on well with Nigel. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Gazzaniga

Remember him? He's on trial for Southend today. Obviously one of Sturrock's favourites, he also signed him for Sheffield Wednesday and Plymouth. Those were the days eh? Remember Leandre Griffit?

Going to see it on release day after work with some mates. Very excited.

Turkish is top ITK, no doubt about it, but he gets his stories from me so I don't know if you want to have a joint first place or put me above him - whichever suits you Glasgow, I'm easy.

It could take some time to figure out who though. Many people to question...

Three months paid, including expenses. No job at the end of it. Will be thought of first for any new jobs. Current employer who I started with on Monday want me for the same amount of time, proper pay, no expenses. Have already asked me to think about the permanent job at the end of it. Anyway, I have to go to bed. Got to get that 6:43 from Eastleigh tomorrow...

It just got more complicated. The Premier League have made me a concrete offer.

Well I have an interesting development... I beat 500 other applicants to make the final five for a job with the Premier League. They could take two people on, and I was third choice. They said they were impressed with me however and wanted to offer me an internship - something they don't normally do. I hadn't heard from them in ages and assumed it was dead, then this job comes up and I've got a three month deal with view to a permanent contract. Two days in and I'm not enjoying it 100%, but I'm told things will pick up when we move offices to Holborn. Okay, I can sort of see that. Then the Premier League ring and say they want me for three months to do some stuff that's interesting. I said I couldn't take them up on the offer, but got home and thought I'd see what was what. I got back in contact and they said they'd offered it to other people and had some interest, but I was always first choice. So today the guy who interviewed me and got back in touch with me went off to HR to see if I could still take the job despite it being offered around. Nothing from him so far this evening - not helped by O2 being ****ing useless. Today though I was given more stuff that sounds good, and I'm told the ball is in my court for a permanent job at the end of the three months. The Premier League have no job at the end of it and have told me straight. So, do I go and do three months at the Premier League, a job I badly wanted and have worked for years towards, with a much simpler commute, or stick with what I'm doing, put up with it until it gets interesting and take the permanent job? Last night I wanted the Premier League gig, tonight I want to stay put. Permanent contract = money, move to London which is good for a number of reasons, security. I was out of work for an entire year until Monday of this week. Tough one. Oh and commuting tonight wasn't fun, my train was cancelled. Woop.

Oh deary me. 2 + 2 = 9674243229.

Jordan Rhodes was an Ipswich reject...

I probably saw you chaps today. Signal problems at Waterloo eh.

Friend of mine met Mr. Gazzaniga at a chairty golf day. He'd been linked with Peterborough who had just released Lewis and Jones, and my friend being a Peterborough fan, had to ask. He replied that he was looking to leave Gillingham and had been told that there was interest from as high up as Chelsea. He said he'd definitely be going to a bigger club than Peterborough. A few days later they signed Torquay's stopper instead.

On a fan asking about name and number printing... "I think that club charges £6 but I printed some off the internet onto fabric and got my nan to sew them on. Saved £££s!" Superb.

Mods > Punks

"The boy Gooloow's doing great Kris, but what we don't wanna do now is give a goal away"

Love it. Will sing it on my own if I have to.

Thank you very much sir. Thing is, I'm earning so little that should I be offered a permanent deal, it'll be spent on a deposit for a flat in the capital. I can't see myself enjoying a lavish lifestyle for quite some time...! I had no intention of leaving the UK until I saw the sheer amount of journalism jobs available in places like the States, so my head was turned. Then last week I found this gig and by Tuesday I'd got it, like I say, after a year of searching.

Well at my job interview I spoke to my new boss, who is an Australian girl only a few years older than me. I told her that my parents had been out there recently and loved it, she said I would too and should go whilst I'm still young, before deciding she wanted me for the job! I was going to give another country a shot before landing this job. My old mentor at uni said I should do it too - even offered me a shot at a job in Singapore whilst I was still studying.

I may well be seeing you and Hatch then at some point. Got my season ticket earlier today for Eastleigh - Waterloo - Palace, £442. I've been told another good route is Shawford - Winchester - Canada Water - Crystal Palace, but it involves the Jubilee Line which I know for a fact is one of the most unreliable lines. Avoids Clapham Junction though and doesn't make me go back the way I came, so I think I'll have a look at it. My Eastleigh - Crystal Palace ticket might cover it, I'll see on Monday.

True story. I also hear they're obsessed with chips. Belgium was actually founded by a group of people from Winchester - it's an entirely artificial country.

Well the horses apparently have to wear nappies, that's fairly interesting.

City will charge a fortune for Adomah if we want him. It could be Nicky Maynard all over again.

Sounds heavenly. Where do I sign up?
