Talking sense

From a gooner unfortunately, I like the cut of his jib though

And he is obviously right, I never had much time for Dein, it's a bit of a suprise he doesn't either though.

Great news about Rooney, he looks like he will definitely be fit for the Chelski game at least. For all those that criticised him last season, we have seen, that we are nowhere near the same team without him since he got injured, and that's even when he is not at his best.

And if this report is right we will get Gary Neville back shortly, more good news, we have missed his surging runs at right back. I would love him to be fit for the rent boy game, though I suppose we don't want too many players coming back from injury for such an important game.

Lancs v Warwickshire
Big game for Lancs as they try yet again to win that elusive county championship. All they can do is win the two remaining games and hope other results go for them. Knowing the luck they have in this competition they probably will, but will still end up not winning it. I wouldn't have thought they would be in with a chance of winning it, after the semi final defeat in the 20 20 semi final. So you have to give them credit to them for coming back strongly after that big disappointment. And they have beaten teams competing with them for the trophy, convincing wins at that against Yorkshire and Durham. It looks likely for once the weather is going to stay alright for them, this week anyway. How many times has our Mancunian weather killed what has seemed like a great chance before.

Michael Palin - the New Europe
Sounds like a must watch programme, i love programmes like this where you see a bit and hopefully learn a bit about countries you don't know much about. And this programme will have the added bonus for me that there is a load of history, old and new, surrounding most of these countries.
