Cheers Trev
Trevor Francis. Thank you.
Albion away at Hartlepool. Now I have nothing against Mark Venus' hometown - I'm sure it's very pleasant, exotic and free from the pollution of nearby Middlesbrough and the spluttering flame throwers. Apologies Mr Mowbray, but let's be honest, Teesside is like that in those parts.
But Hartlepool on a Tuesday or Wednesday night for the Carling Cup tie drawn out by a grinning ex-Birmingham manager? Not good.
Furthermore, thanks to Trev, I now have a problem. If this game is played on Wednesday August 27 then all fine and dandy. I may even pack my trunks and go for a midnight dip in the sea, next to the rigs and among the oil slicks.
If it's played on August 26 then, as Sven would say, 'not so good'. Not least as there will be the small matter of explaining to Mrs L that I'll be spending our first wedding anniversary watching the sun set over the North Sea (yes, yes, I know it faces east). Probably on my own. With a laptop.
Not exactly an all-inclusive fortnight package to Aruba, with its blue skies and steel bands now is it?
Stop grinning Trevor. This really isn't funny...

Let me get this right...someone from a deprived, bleak wasteland such as West Sandwellwich poking fun at another grotty area???
Priceless!
Big city boy.
AH yes, BUT we have 'warmer' rain than the North East!
Can the rain actually break through the blanket of smog that hangs over the Black Country?
Bad luck with the result aginst Arsenal, by the way. What matters, though, are your result against the other little teams who will be fighting relegation.
What were you thinking getting married during the footie season?
School-boy error Chris, serves you right.
Thing is do you want to set a precedent and get her a really expensive present to make up for the fact you are holed up in Hartlepool?
The decision is yours!
Er, who cares about your wedding anniversary? Indulgence, pure indulgence.
Stick to the football and get the facts right. Then in about 20 years people might care what you think outside of the game (like with Motty etc).
ps. knocking Hartlepool is a cheap shot and for someone from the Black Country smacks of people in glass houses throwing stones.
