Portsmouth to London

One of the reasons I like visiting the London grounds is because of working down in Portsmouth during the week. There's a direct train every thirty mins, so getting up to London is relatively easy, albeit a bit expensive. £31.50 for a day return. It also means I'm going to be able to get a pint or two without the worry of having to drive.
Here's a question for everyone. Why are other people's kids so damned annoying? I could swear I brought my two to be better behaved than this brood of screaming harridons I'm currently stuck with on this train. And who in their right mind calls a young girl Darcy. She looks nothing like Colin Firth!! Also I thought I could eat, but this lot started at Fratton and they're still at it at Woking. I suppose the good thing is that they've all been given gobstoppers which has led to a significant reduction in the decibel level in this coach. Here's hoping they last until Waterloo.

Preparing for Millwall

So we've just had an international break with the premier and championship teams having a couple of weeks off. It was strange too see Barnsley having one of their players involved, Scott Wiseman played for Gibraltar in their first ever UEFA friendly game. They played Slovakia and earned a very creditable 0-0 draw.
Saturday's game for Barnsley is against Millwall, which for some reason is a game I always look forward to going to.
Thankfully I work in Portsmouth Monday to Friday, so getting up to London is a lot easier than having to travel down from Halifax and back on a Saturday.
