It could well be Wes Brown. Hasn't played for 21 months but could start in this game.

Now they just need to bring back Peter Reid and they've got Ji Ki Monki.

That goal was simply majestic. Palace are the new Derby.

Cheers mate.

Would you do the honours? I forgot the date too.

I'd send it back - they broke the eggs.

Score predictions? Line-ups? HF graphs? It's going to be one hell of a game. They'll be desperate, desperate to beat us but our lads know they can't put in a second abject performance in against the mackems. We're probably favourites given their dismal league form, but it doesn't really matter in the derby. Now that Cattermole's back playing for them I can see him getting sent off for a lunge. 2-1 Newcastle, Ben Arfa and Remy. Horrible watching the last one, but really looking forward to watching this.

Spring? Lazy buggers. Get yourself to Falmouth and go to Amanzi. Can't remember whether I recommended it before: http://www.amanzirestaurant.co.uk/ Amazing falmouth crab.

Mustardy pork escalopes with crushed rosemary potatoes and steamed edamame beans & peas.

Karma's a bitch.

Wonder what the result would've been had we kept 11 men on the pitch? Have to take a point, but it's more comforting that we put in a shift defensively against one of the in-form offences in the league - with Williamson at the back. Hopefully this is a good boost to team morale!

...bollocks.

Sounds like we're playing really well. We need another goal desperately as we won't be able to keep up the high intensity in the second half.

Google always fucking about with gmail. First they change the layout to something that is still shite. Then they make new emails pop up in the bottom right hand corner. Now you have to click the fucking browser tab and then click gmail just to access the thing. Company full of rich cernts who have no actual work to do so they just cock about all day. Argh.

With the flying form they're in and how erratically our defence has been behaving, I don't see this ending well. I don't think they'll get 6 though - Pards will shut up shop and hope to score on the counter. 1-3.

The Mask. Dreadful. Cameron Diaz though..

Looks vile.

I made my own thai-style fish cakes tonight. 2 fillets hake (although any fish will do - i reckon salmon or trout would be a very safe bet) 1 sweet potato 1 desert spoon thai red curry paste 1 tsp fresh ginger Roughly 4 tbsp plain flour (plus more to coat both sides) 1 small onion (finely chopped) 1/2 tsp dark soy sauce 1 tsp fish sauce 1 tsp sweet chilli sauce Poach hake in milk and a 1 tsp of red curry paste for 4 mins. Turn the heat off and let the fish finish cooking whilst you boil & mash the sweet potato. In a bowl, combine the ingredients together and mix well. Add 1-2 tablespoons of the poaching liquid if you want (I did). Stir it well - it'll be gooey but you'll still be able form the fishcakes. Coat both sides with seasoned flour. Place it carefully into a pan and cook 3-4 minutes each side. Served this with some stir fried peppers & carrots and chilli sauce. Made just enough for 4 fishcakes. Very pleased with this, but will add some fresh coriander next time. Maybe some thai basil if I can get hold of it too.

Good luck, Tooj!

Another unsuccessful spell at Weightwatchers.

Day off today so I've got black pudding and fried eggs on the hob. Love black pudding, me.

Made a kick ass chicken & leek pie today.

The gun running missions with Trevor are a pain in the arse. Spent a good 10 minutes flying around making perfect drops, then landed and taxied to the hangar. Didn't realise you had to stop and wait for 'mission passed' to flash up - I'd stopped the fucking plane and got out only to fail the mission for 'abandoning the aircraft'.
