Game on

Forget the pessimists who cover themselves emotionally by saying we won't make the play-offs, another three points on Saturday (when not playing particularly well, the sign of a good team) and we're now only seven points off 6th place with seven to play.

My optimistic spark still burns, come on.

Still not feeling 100% on Saturday, but Cressie getting a free ticket meant at least I could go for a drink before the game, a couple stood outside the Trent Navigation at least made me forget about the Man Flu for a while.

Across the road to Casa (formally The Aviary, formally .... etc etc) and a surprisingly smoke-free, child-friendly environment to watch the end of the Merseyside derby.

Over to the true home of football for a largely forgettable 90 minutes. Nathan Tyson not at his best, but then what's the point when the opposition right back can bullet one in from 6 yards for you ?

A lift home and a quick one in the BPitW, the Fox & Crown, Old Basford, before settling down at home for a curry.

All in all, a decent Saturday.

Note to self; make sure you leave May Bank Holiday free, there could be a trip to Cardiff.....
