Well i would like to wish everyone a happy christmas and hope that santa bought all the gifts that were wanted. I have had an excellent christmas spending time with the family and playing with the kids although christmas day seemed the longest day known. Christmas is about putting smiles on people s faces and thats what i tried to do.

It still seems strange that over christmas i dont play matches as the league has shut down. I have been visiting friends and old team mates as well as getting to as many games as i can. I must say im happy that my old manager JC has got back into football so quickly at plymouth and has got 2 wins already. My good pal Carl Fletcher says that he has great professionalism, is a fantastic organizer and a top bloke too. ”Tell me something i didnt know’.

Regarding my own future i ve heard that there have been rumors about me being traded, but in football there is not a day goes by when you dont get rumors.

How close and exciting is the premiership this year……. I hope to see it go down to the wire and hopefully 3/4 teams closing in. Roberto mancini now at man city…… Have to say how cool is this guy? I think he will be a big hit at man city and take them into the top 4. Teams will be tested now with the african nations coming up, especially chelsea, but this season is going to be the most open ever.

Finally great to see my pal John hartson recovering after his illness, he really is a true fighter. He made me laugh on tv though when he said that regarding the QPR saga with player and manager, ” there is always one mole at each club no matter where you are” on how the incident came out…….. People might like him or not but what he does do is tell the truth and thats what i admire!!!!
