Apologies for my absence. I was in Germany running my 10th Frankfurt Marathon and becoming on finishing, the first person from the UK to become a member of the Frankfurt Marathon Club. Ten years is a long time, but I will be given what they call an "eternal number" whatever position I am in the order of all the runners who have finished 10 Frankfurts, I suspect it is going to be around number 1330.

Anyway, on to Saturday, Foxie and I will be there, sadly sitting in the home seats as a Donny friend has bought the tickets, I can only hope Foxie doesn't get too excited when we score.

Hopefully McGoldrick will be back, we really miss his guile when he is not in the team. Hopefully Crowlley will be back and another midfielder.

I'm going for a 1-1 draw for Saturday, a point will be a good return, a win even better of course.

WE'RE THE ONE AND ONLY EXILES...GRRRRRR
