2001 Firstly let me start by saying, what a finish to the England game last Saturday, absolutely awesome. I hate watching footy on TV when I'm injured because it frustrates me so much knowing I can't play at the moment but I think everyone had to be watching us qualify for next years World Cup. I thought Beckham was outstanding and held the whole team together when so many of our players were having off days. I have massive respect for Beckham and really believe he is the complete player. I was at home watching and cheered as loud as anyone when that free kick screamed in. Well pleased for the Republic of Ireland also, with Kendo and DC involved with their World Cup campaign it will be great to see them in Japan/Korea next summer. DC scored a great goal and showed no signs of the little calf injury picked up the week before, and as for Kenny it's just great to see him back fit getting back to his best for club and country. Unfortunately Willo, Hughesy and Trond have all missed out on the world cup next year, but all appeared in the qualifiers. It's great for the Dons to have international players in the squad for fans and fellow players alike. Now back to things closer to home and its Palace "away" on Saturday. I'm gutted not to be there having not appeared in the crunch fixture yet - guess I'll have to wait for the home tie. The squad that travelled to and conquered Man City is fully fit with one exception, Dave Nielsen limped in off the training pitch this week with what looks like a calf strain, that has yet to be confirmed but things didn't look too good for him. Trond was back in training on Thursday and Damian Francis is looking really good back training with the first team. Juppy is also back training, leaving myself, Ards, Willo, Kjetil, Blackers and Andreas still in the treatment room. Ards is probably looking favourite to return first out of that lot but no one will be back for at least 3 more weeks. The fit lads had Wednesday off and golf was on the agenda for some, relaxation for others. The injured boys are in every single day as always (Sunday included), nicknamed "Groundhog Days" for obvious reasons. Looks like winter is just round the corner as a massive Birch tree fell on my garage the other day smashing the roof in. I know what you're all thinking, how can I keep having all this good luck! I thank my lucky stars my car wasn't in the garage at the time, but I don't reckon I'll climb on the roof to try and fix things myself (doesn't bare thinking about)- I'll leave it to the professionals. The music is still plodding along at a steady pace and we are starting to get interest from TV stations as well as radio but we are going to leave it for a while before there is any live playing. Chris Perry has had an op on his hand so he's out of action for a few weeks and it's down to me and Trond at the moment. Anyway hopefully we can beat our nearest rivals on Saturday and things will be looking up for everyone, here's to the start of a good run.
