CCC update

Well it has been a while since an update - but ther have been FA cup matches etc in between too.

It is deadline day and I am gutted as my only reason for picking Stoke (peter Crouch) has left and gone to Burnley. Rubbish. Can't even find a cheap purple shirt on b-bay either!

Anyway, I guess I should be happy as 'just' paying less than the price of a curry, where as Jan is paying as much as the top 13 people (almost).  Not sure if he is buying anyone in this transfer window - a quick glance shows players leaving.  Lyn has snuck into the bottom 3 so may get her wish to get rid of Reading.

Tight at the top and a 6 pointer on Saturday (2nd half after the England rugby game at The Foresters on Saturday we hope) for Dave and Kate.  Will it be a 6 pinter day too?

Stoke sack their manager - but Pompey help is on it's way....

so manager is sacked, but the temporary back room staff include Kevin Russell who played for Pompey.  It is weird as I do remember him and it tunrs out he only made 4 appearances between 1984-87 (ok so two of you weren't even born then!).

I don't remember him being good looking - funny how I remember him!

I must have read
