    We seem too happy to just pass the ball around but when we go a goal behind there is no sense of urgency to get an equalizer.

    Can't comment because I didn't see or hear the game today - had other things to sort. Sorry to digress fellas, but away in Bucks at the moment and one of the four legged dogs wasn't happy at all this morning - wouldn't eat his breakfast and was totally disinterested in our usual hike around Hughenden Park. Got back to the cottage lunchtime and he still wasn't right - nothing obvious but you can always tell.

    Decided to check him over and found either blocked of infected swollen anal glands under his tail. Had this before and not good - usually vet drainage for the non squeamish and a course of antibiotics if infected. Being up here a lot over the years, we'd used a local vet in Hazlemere before so I gave them a ring. It was 1.30pm and I got the dreaded answerphone message about now being closed for the week but an emergency service was available.

    I thought OK, I'll give it a go and rang the number they gave. Very helpful and they gave me the address of a practice in High Wycombe - only about 10 miles from where we stay. The next sentence though blew me away. The cost of the consultation would be £318 with any treatment and medication charged pro rata on top - bloody scandalous! <steam>

    I took the pooch outside and stood him on the garden table. The wife held his head and I squeezed his arse. The spray pattern was spectacular. One of the garden chairs caught the brunt of it but nothing that a bucket of water and a J Cloth couldn't solve. Gave his rear end a good wipe over with pink Vetrasept antiseptic and gave him a dose of Metacam - always keep that on board - and he was off and running after his favourite football - he's bloody nuts.

    In fact, looking at the result he probably could have done a good job for City today and I saved £318 + in the bargain. At least that was a result I wanted.

    Glad to hear all is okay with the pooch Sparks.

    Unlike our football team.

    Always a worry when pets are not well, compounded with being away from home.
    Vets bills can be scarey.

    One of my dogs used to need that done regularly. The sign that he needed it was he’d drag his bum along the carpet.
    Thankfully none of my others have ever needed it - the stench is absolutely foul and made me gag every time

    Sparkey! You ever had to do that for one of your two-legged dogs?

    I called a plumber last weekend and was quoted about the same price. Well done on your DIY solution.
    Now don’t be giving that money to the bookies with your endless optimism for our football team!

    As is well known, hope is the last thing that dies - usually the money goes first.

    The way we play I can't see many goals.

    Only 1 man in their box with 3 defenders.

    Millwall were not that good but we were worse.

    Mind you I loved the new den.

    What we're they doing up Pandora's Box?

    No wonder they were so listless on Saturday. She's a strong girl. <yikes>
