kick of is 7.45 

Hmm, the perils of being in Tokyo, UK time has lost all relevance to me. 4:59 am Tokyo time the game will still be going, I can't even try that excuse.

I shall re-state that I shall delete one of those posts at a non-specific time after the match finishes.

What if its a draw? Will I just be a half useless turd?

It's 3 points or bust for you lad.

My probation is a minimum of 3 games. The players may be feeling a bit hungover from the post-Suggs era so give me a chance and keep the faith. i am now going to bake some lucky scones

I'm gonna head off for this one soonish. Maybe in an hour.

Not expecting much really - a draw will be alright but slightly frustrating. A win would be a good boost after a few shakey results of late. Hopefully oru lot will be in good voice and feeling positive after Paolo's statement!

Your post makes me think of this.

Great film.  But it would certainly have been improved if there was another scene with Bill Murray up all night checking the Swindon score.

Will be interesting to see the team picked tonight. I'd imagine the back line will be along the lines of Devera (RB), McCormack (CB), TAH (CB), McEvely (LB) ?

Be careful lad, scones may become part of your Saturday routine akin to Sugg's necessity to be drunk when posting.

I've also been to most of the places in Lost in Translation. So far, no Scarlett Johansson. I live in hope.

don't worry, it was 4 months after moving to Norway that I met my dream idol.

p.s. I do enjoy your blog, a friend of mine has just visited Tokyo and the combination of your blog and her photos make me jealous

I thought McCormack and Ritchie worked quite well together on Saturday. Thompson was a rock before he went off injured but doesn't offer much going forward IMO. Ritchie to me looks a little lost without a marauding rb to me.

I think it's more the fact than he gets three players on him as soon as he gets the ball. The RB may well help in these situations though.

Yeah we did notice that as soon as he got the ball he was surrounded
By scunny players. He is good, but he is not a magician!

Well I should be at this game as it's pretty local and easy to get to from Manchester. On the basis that I am not going when I should be we will win. By a lot.

Not feeling the love for tonight's game at all.
