it's the start of a busy few days, Vancouver, Victoria & Toronto on the agenda - time to load up the tunes on the mp3 player, transfer some of the good British TV i have obtained from UK Nova onto the laptop & get ready for the usual work/travel routine
rounded off the weekend today with an afternoon's snowboarding with Jen up at Sunshine, we had a total blast despite the fog & the choppy snow - my knees feel well & truly mashed & I hope i don't get cramp in my tired legs on the plane tomorrow - nothing worse than standing bolt upright during take-off & screaming in pain - i amused her with descriptions of my superstitions, which i didn't realise until i listed them were so extensive & in some cases bizarre - i tried to explain that in the UK it's normal for football fans to be highly superstitious, but i don't think she bought this excuse
so on that note it was very, very sad to see legendary manager Alan Curbishley announce his departure from Charlton Athletic yesterday - and while i think ultimately it's for the best for both him & the club - it is undeniable that he has almost single handedly transformed my club from the brink of extinction to the brink of European qualification - things had gotten a bit stale as of late and i guess after 15 years at the same club, you run out of things to say & do to motivate your players - who would i like to see in his place - well Claudio Ranieri would bring some much needed European knowledge & star-player attraction - Martin O'Neill has the tactical & motivational knowledge to keep us moving in the right direction - Mark Bowen, has proven to be a great coach at both Birmingham & Blackburn, yet great coaches don't always become great managers at the first attempt - Steve Cotterill springs to mind. Who would I hate to see there - Mervyn Day, Mick McCarthy, George Graham, Graham Souness......
we will see
todays radio player music comes from Tony Joe White - deep fried, southern country soul from 1969 - TJW has a voice that could melt the blacktop & backing musicians with more funk than is healthy - a bit of a departure from the usual folksy stuff on here, but i love it nonetheless - both tracks are from his album Black and White which i strongly recommend you to buy!
