Ultimately disappointed with 6th after a poor show against ManUre, but I'd have settled for that at the start of the year.
Well done to O'Leary. We can argue all day long about merits of various managers and how and what they tried to achieve. Frankly O'Leary has delivered this year. With much the same squad as Taylor he's got players playing for him and the club.
It's all well and good Taylor telling some of the squad some home truths and wanting to get rid of players, what O'Leary has achieved this year is fantastic.
Let him have some more money Doug. Van Bommel would be nice. It's not that I know that much about him, but if he's good enough for DOL then that's good enough for me.

Motorshow Live |
|
Talking of cars, (read today in reverse order!) I spent Sunday at the Motorshow.
In my opinion it's much better than two years ago and well worth a visit.
Too many highlights to mention all but a free 4x4 cross country ride and a go in a Caterham.
Also news worthy is the fact that Gibbs have halved (yes halved) the price of the Aquada. They've had so amny inquiries, that they're planning to produce 1000 a year rather than 100.

All Change. |
|
So, what have I been up to?
Well, one of the digits in the column on the right is about to change. The zero one!
We've knokn for some weeks, but held off announcing it until we'd had a scan - and the results. That was now 5 weeks ago, and it was a nerve wracking time.
We now know that Lesley is expecting a baby girl 2 days before my birthday in November. Life will never be the same again.
Downside is I'm going to have to sell my car, for practical reasons.
