Rick,

Much as I am pleased to see the return of this excellent service, any chance of it not being in the "white writing on a very pale blue/green background to make you squint" mode?

My eyes hurt.

Then again, my eyes hurting could be due to the stomach churning 0-0 draw that I drove through the M6 rush hour to witness at Villa Park on Wednseday night. Just when you think Walter 'tactical genious' Smith can not surprise you, he goes and plays your sloth-like centre forward (Campbell) in midfield! The final score was in no doubt from the very first whistle.

The only highlight was the chanting of "Big Ron In" by the Evertonians, responding to the "Ellis Out" chants by the miserable brummies. (The manager of the Wengerboys will recall this chant only too well from Old Trafford circa 1986)

Sorted out the colours, Phil.

Villa in midweek can't have been as bad as Elland Road today. Batty seems to have turned into Carlton Palmer and Bowyer wouldn't make it into the Strangeways first team let alone England. Can't see Leeds scoring again this season the way things are going. The Intertoto Cup beckons....

Try not to worry, Rick. At least you'll get the full three points a fortnight on Sunday when you play Walter's Wonders. By then we'll have Paul Gerrard up front and Campbell in goal, with some sort of weird 6-4-1 formation.

Oh, and if I hear one more football pundit say how lucky we are to have Smith I'll visit them in the small hours. Two league wins in the last three months tells its own sorry story.

Oh, and can I just say that your last result spoilt my already unpleasant weekend. As if having a stomach bug wasn't enough, I turned on the radio just in time to hear Pipsqueak's goal against your boys. Even we haven't lost by four clear goals - just yet. Mind you, Arsenal on Sunday looms large.
