The deed is done…we have finally booked our holiday. The lucky hotel is the Casa Fuster who will be relieving us of about 1.4K for the privilege so we are hoping for something really f**king special for that kind of money. Of course Gill is now in a panic about her wardrobe’s suitability for such a prestigious lodging. Me, I’ll just make sure my t-shirts are ironed. Well I’ve got to make an effort.
So whilst one saga has been resolved the continuing slapstick comedy that is Newcastle United does it’s best to keep the rest of the nation amused. Today’s non bombshell is that Jermaine Jenas (JJ) is not enjoying himself at Newcastle at the moment. This obviously has nothing to do with the fact that Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United are all batting their £ shaped eyelashes at him, oh no. Rather he feels as if he is “living in a goldfish bowl” in Newcastle which would, no doubt, be much less of a problem for poor JJ in London or Manchester.
To be honest I’m not sure I would be too bothered if some cash rich mugs were to part with £10-12M for the player. He is, it seems, yet another of Newcastle’s young starlets who’s play has failed to match their supposed potential. In the three and a half years JJ has been here at Newcastle we have seen flashes of brilliance but no real consistency of good form and last year he was, if anything, consistently poor. Others this slight could also be levelled at include Kieran Dyer, James Milner, Titus Bramble and Shola Ameobi amongst others. Not the ideal assessment of a large proportion of your first team squad is it?
Tomorrow I plan to meet up with Billy, we have of course not arranged this yet, and attempt to splash some cash on a couple of CD’s. I say attempt because, as Gill has just reminded me, we have to try and save some spending money for when we are away. With this sort of pressure I’ll probably walk around several record shops with handfuls of discs only to put them back at the point of purchase. Both Billy and I are past masters at this technique and could easily have sizably larger CD collections/debts without it. Both Gill and Steph are eternally grateful for this flaw in our psyches.
