What time does Londonboy tend to post? I'm not sure whether to crack on  with some work or wait to see what he has to say.

I can never concentrate at work until I get my Daily Dosage of London Boy's penned eloquences.

Morning me ol'muckers...

Friday at last.  Havin' it large tonight lads.

Not much to report is there. 

My advice, duck off early doors for a couple of shandies down the old nuclear sub and your boss will think you're in meeting innit?

Will update if I can get on the ol dog n bone to my HP.

At this rate, for Aston Villa, read Leeds United.

That could happen but there is no real reason why it should.  Leeds were crippled by debts where they'd used future season ticket sales to pay for their excesses.  Villa will be just about breaking even and could, if managed well, tick along and slowly grow, even with the club up for sale.

In my opinion the risk at the moment is that there is too much uncertainty: A manger with 12-months left on his contract, a 'For Sale' sign above the club and question marks about our best players' contracts.  Most of these issues could be sorted out, even with an absent owner, however at some point this summer he will need to decide what he is going to do as maintaining this limbo will damage his investment way more than taking a relatively small amount of time and money to sort out our future for the next 1 - 2 years.  It'd make us a more attractive purchase in my opinion too.

Now why on earth would we believe The Sun?

A lot of people will believe anything in the absence of any definite information. Myself, I treat it like my horoscope - almost definitely bollocks, but I tend to read it and worry anyway.
You mean like:
Starting in March, the Nodes of Fate will move into your stars right before your birthday, preparing you for a new cycle focused on the ever-elusive balance between 'self' and 'other'. You may feel you are still shedding old aspects of your personality that no longer serve you or your partnerships -- but the payoff is so worth it. You're a true romantic at heart, ever in search of a truly beautiful and harmonious partnership, and this year just might be the year you get to truly live and experience this like never before. Speaking of love, another major bonus arrives just in time for summer when lucky Jupiter moves into your sector of romance and pleasure for a year.


I'm terrified of Jupiter, quite frankly.

Its Uranus that scare me.

I remember when Voyager II got there in 1986(ish) and the newsreaders started calling it err-anus instead of (y)uranus.
