After a draw against chicago away from home which could be seen as a good result for us but in truth was nt, we then faced a weekend off without a match. Now this has come at a great time for us as we are able to give the boys a few more days recovery, and other lads got some match practice in a private friendly. Some lads went away but i flew home to the uk so see my family. It was a great few days for me and put a massive smile on my face as i returned back to start training today.

We now face a massive three games, but we must take one match at a time. Results this weekend they tended to go for us again but as i have said before the play off spot we are aiming for is in our own hands. Our match at home to san jose this weekend is a must win game! San jose have now hit some form and have a super head coach in frank yallop so this is going to be a tough match. But when teams come to our BMO field it is never easy and our supporters are our 12th man and that will be massive for us in this push. We will be working hard all week to make sure we re ready, and that come saturday we ll come out of the blocks flying.

This weekend is also international week and unless some of the bigger countries pull their fingers out then they will be missing in south africa come the world cup. France and portugal just look out!!
