    Something has happened mate.

    I have good reason to follow the media and have noticed a big change in the last month.

    Lee Johnson was on Football Focus today, there's been various reports in the papers and we're being chosen for Sky games.

    It may, of course, be a coincidence but i really doubt it.

    I have a subscription with L'Equipe, in France, and they have regular mentions of us.

    There's also an idea of a link up with Marseille supporters and a pre-season friendly there.

    That would be massive if, as has been mentioned, we have a pre-season at Monaco, Nice, Cannes and Marseille.

    My holidays sorted <laugh>

    If AOB is out would he risk Benji on the bench? Bit of a maverick player but might just hit the winner.

    Whatever happens tomorrow I hope we don't participate in such a dreary match as Portsmouth v Salford ...


    ... it's all I can do to stay awake.

    Cheers pal, he's damaged his lung so they're keeping him in on antibiotics in case of infection with him having emphysema/, COPD/TB anarl.
    He's a tough awld bastid to be fair.
    Mind the look on his face putting him in the ambulance when I said "try and stay in till Monday cos it's the cup final tomorrow and am having a few beers" was priceless <laugh>

    Still a bit on the quiet side. Hopefully it’ll pick up later :emoticon-0140-rofl: 86EFB746-7C5F-4CF3-AC35-7052E2DC1FF7.jpeg

    If me and Mrs Smug are still in Carcassonne there'd be room for everyone.

    Carcassonne is beautiful, do you live there? Kudos if you do.

    My aged P used to live in the Lot valley, which has some lovely villages hanging onto the cliffs.

    We've lived in Liguria, the Riviera, Provence, etc and now SW France near Carcassonne ....

    ... never done less than 16 games a season.

    Until now <doh>
