I think I'm gonna head out and do some xmas shopping, Darren Bent style. Can't really face following this game on a combination of H&V and the BBC. Too painful!

If anyone wishes to converse privately about small flowing waterways I'd be very grateful

Google search, and there are links 3-4 results down. Live permier league football or something generic will find. Not a great link but will do.

Not sure hoisting high balls into the box is the way to go today.
