Tied into a contract until 2015. Great news. Been a fantastic player for us this season.

'Poor man's Stuart Wardley'..

..oh dear, that is very funny.. but not really true, is it Joe. Wardley, the furniture remover from Saffron Walden was one of those odd football characters who somehow, despite themselves, manage to put in a strangely effective performance or two and then fade into insignificance.  Although Jamie Mackie doesn't have the pace or sublime ball skills of the elite footballers, he possesses something they rarely seem to have, a lion-hearted, never-say-die spirit, which brings its own rewards. And he's scored some really good goals this season, at the very top level. Sure, he'll never be a Van Persie, a Rooney, a Balotelli, or even close, but he's a lot better than people think. Look at his brilliantly taken goal v Liverpool, or that smashing header v City. He's a decent player.

Similar to the Rs ... overestimate him and he will disappoint, underestimate him and he will surprise. He's been found out a few times this season already but he's still worth having around cos like the drunken monkey in martial arts who doesn't know what he's going to do next .. defenders are still not quite sure how to deal with him.

Run Jamie Run!

Mixing pale ale and Guinness is just wrong.

..proper fags they were. I can say this with a sanguine air since I stopped smoking again (for the 7th time at least) last November.

I've often wondered how many fags I smoked up till then and so I did a rough calculation. Now, I would say that I was a reasonably moderate smoker and at one point I gave up fags for nearly 7 years, but the estimate I came up with was that I have smoked approximately 88,000 cigarettes in my life. I also did a booze calcualtion, and again I say this with some equanimity, cos I also gave up booze in November. Now bear in mind that my drinking, whilst it has been somewhat excessive at times (most of my teens and a fair bit in my 40s), has also been relatively modest overall. I nevertheless calculated that I have drunk in the region of 33,000 pints of beer, around 12,000 shorts and in the region of 5,000 bottles of wine...

Quit the fags when I was 23
