HAPPY NEW YEAR...

AS IS TRADITIONAL (GEOGRAPHICALLY SPEAKING) OUR ANTIPODEAN FRIENDS DOWN UNDER ARE CELEBRATING THE NEW DECADE WHILST WE'RE STILL HAVING LUNCH/DINNER...GOD BLESS'EM

I PERSONALLY WILL BE DOWNING A BOTTLE OF MOET TO CELEBRATE THE FABULOUS 'NOUGHTIES' , A DECADE IN WHICH MY FAVORITE TEAM ACQUIRED WORLD DOMINATION STATUS, I GOT MARRIED AGAIN...THIS TIME TO THE RIGHT WOMAN AND MY BRITISH LIST PASSED THE FABLED 500 MILESTONE.

WHAT A TEAM...WHAT A MANAGER AND WHAT A DECADE...THE WORLD GOT SMALLER BUT OUR LISTS GOT BIGGER (AND SO DID MY WAISTLINE) I REACHED THE BIG 5 Zero WITH MY LIVER INTACT BUT UNFORTUNATELY NOT MY HAIR (STRESS + WIFE NO.1).


AN ERA THAT SAW THE FORMING OF THE INFAMOUS COMBERBACH CASUALS (HAPPY NEW YEAR LEE) AND CHESHIRE DOMINATING THE YEAR LISTING SCENE.

NO CHANCE OF SELLING OUT THE O2 Arena ME THINKS?

THERES STILL MORE TO COME (BIRDS TO THE LIST) AND TROPHIES (FOR UNITED) PLUS A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF OUR USE OF THIS PLANET THATS SO PRECARIOUSLY BALANCED AT THE MO...

LETS HOPE FOR US ALL THAT THE POWERS THAT BE HAVE SOME SORT OF PLAN FOR LONGEVITY (I'M A POET DON'T U KNOW'IT)...

GOD BLESS YOU ALL MY FRIENDS SEE YOU IN 2010 MINES A PINT!

PS. PLEASE PLEASE HAVE A GO AT THE FANTASY LEAGUE YOU NEVER KNOW YOU COULD BE WORLD FAMOUS IN COMBERBACH BY JULY 2010.

LOVE AND BEST WISHES....POD
