Jose goesy A hectic day of meetings but beginning with breakfast this morning at a hotel just a 15 warm September's day minute walk from home to meet some clients in from London, and a surprise guest, An Addick. I had met him before but was not aware that he would be joining us and as those around us talked boring work stuff, we huddled and attempted to piece together the game last night. He knew a lot less than me as he was out in the 'burbs yesterday locked away in a meeting room and of course he hasn't got a ouija board, unlike me. We parted happy and agreed that we rather like this Championship lark.

One thing that was great to see last night was the re-emergence of Yassin Moo2kil. I was under the impression he would be out for a longer period, but in the cloak and dagger world of the Charlton physio room, he suddenly appeared on the bench last night and then played a full 90 minutes today in a private friendly at Sparrows Lane.

I didn't actually sit at my desk today and log in until 2pm, so tonight before I leave for home I've been catching up on the footie news and what do I find trying to see if Peter Taylor still has a job? Jose Mourinho has resigned, or sacked or been buried under the patio. Wow, just shows what 5 games without a win can do. Love him or hate him the Premiership will be a much less charismatic place without the special one even though he couldn't ever bring himself to accept that we beat them in the Carling Cup.

"There's loads of speculation that if we don't win Jose gets fired, but that's not the way we think." Peter Kenyon yesterday before the Rosenborg game. Sure Pete, whatever you say.  ¶ 22:27
