All gone quiet over there You will find What was the score? a bit quiet over the next couple of weeks. I do hope to post something tomorrow after the Man City game - it's live on the tele here at 5.45am, that'll take some doing and an early night tonight, which isn't on the agenda - but on Sunday I'm off to Los Cabos in Mexico for a nice little vacation.

Then on Sunday 10th I fly back into Chicago landing at around 6pm and then leave on the 10pm flight to Heathrow all ready to be bright-eyed and bushy tailed at a meeting with clients at 2.30pm the next day, followed by a trip to the theatre in the evening to see We Will Rock You. Not my choice obviously. I can just imagine the conversation, "oh, what a quaint moustache that Freddie guy has got" and me snoring.

An awkward game tomorrow me thinks. No Kish, no El Camel so hopefully Perry will be reinstated to the line up. JJ in for Romm? I expect so.

I will be at the Bolton game on the 16th and I plan to take my son for his first ever game. He struts around in his top and tells me that "Charlton are the best team in the world," probably influenced by having Hughes' and Hreidarsson's son in his mini football team at school. Anyway the time has come. An occasion I first thought about the day of his birth 5 years and 2 months ago. It will be weird and I expect I'll be a bit emotional too but very, very proud.

Come on you Reds.  ¶ 15:17
