Fancy yourself as a Football Manager?

I administrate and participate in an online Football Management game called xperteleven. Teams are available for the new season in my league which will start in about 10 days time.

Fancy a go? It will take up about 10 minutes a week (perhaps more when you get into it). There are two games a week at the most.

If you want to play then follow the link below:

Click join.

You will then need to input the league code: 91420

You will then be a member of the Watford Fans League!

Stop Press news item...............................

Sales of condoms in France plummeted today when the England rugby squad proved that to f*** 15 frogs you only need one Johnny!

Strange weekend so far....................

Having finished my travels, which have this week taken me from the South Coast to Blackpool, up to Central Scotland and back to the East Midlands - Via Central London last Tuesday. I decided to give going to football (in the form of Kettering Town) a miss today. Just as well as they lost and ended their interest in the FA Cup!

The reason I didn't go was because i'm full of cold and decided that it would be best to rest up at home and Watch some football on TV. I also ended up watching the last 30 minutes of the England v France Rugby world Cup semi final - Not a sport that I'm particularly interested in but quite a turn around of fortunes for the English apparently.

If the weather is fine I may go for a bike ride tomorrow.

Scunthorpe Utd 1 Watford 3

So, The Corby's wandered off to "Sunny Scunny" today and it has turned out to be one of the most pleasant away trips i've been on for a long time!

Nice compact football ground filled with a partisan home crowd, manky burgers, lack of programmes if you got there after 2.15 (I got one though) and generally a nice atmosphere. It always helps when you put in your best performance of the season and come away with a comfortable away win. Adam Johnson put us ahead with a firm header but Scunthorpe equalised before half time. A two goal blast in as many minutes mid way through the second half from Darius (7 in 7) Henderson and Marlon (4 so far this season) King sealed the game. The only sour point was a horrendous tackle from Lee Williamson who got a straight red card for his troubles 10 minutes from the end.

LMC was well happy with the Golden Boys Birthday present of 3 goals and 3 points too!!!!!!!!!!!

A busy week ahead.

I'm off to Sunny Scunny on Saturday to watch Scunthorpe v Watford. I wasn't going to go but Little Miss Corby is 8 on saturday and wanted to go as a birthday treat (honestly)!!!!!!! When we get back one of her mates is coming round for a sleepover. Then Sunday it's off to the local bowling alley for her party.

Monday I am partaking in a trip to Bournemouth to visit a member of staff who is in rehab, travelling first class as well!

Tuesday I'm at a (London) hotel for our performance meeting all day.

Then I'm off to Falkirk via Blackpool on Wednesday, Thursday and returning Friday to Take Mrs C's nan to see the lights and to see the latest addition to the family - my Brother in law's Daughter Katie - who was born last Monday.

Mrs C's Nan is terminally ill with cancer and probably wont see it out till Christmas. To visit Blackpools lights and see her new great grandchild will make her a happy woman, and it is my pleasure to help in that.

Another week another football match

................and most importantly another Watford win.

Goals from Darius Henderson and Marlon King (penalty) in the first 15 minutes meant that The Hornets threatened to run riot, but ended up clinging on grimly to their lead for the best part of the last hour of the game!!!!!!
