Excellent.

Cheers mate - through rain and driving snow - can't be pleasant doing these reports at times.
If they' re insisting on keeping you out they could at least build you a tree house.
Hats off to you sir ;-)

You Sir are a Gentleman and a scholer ( and theres not many of us left :) ) It feels like the world is back on the right axel again .Thanx Doug .

I take it you are happy that you only fit into the gentleman category Carolina?....

great stuff. Cheers Doug.

Poor Mrs Higgi.
Looks like the lady has lost her kitchen steps for another season...and I think they're red ones.
C'mon Douglas Mate....buy your own...in blue.

Look who Mancini's new pet is.....hope this means that Suarez is going to be staying and featuring this season

He looks ready to be given a shot IMO

Quality as always Doug.

I think we should all change our signatures to something along the lines of Get Doug In, you never know, the club might keep an eye on the site.

The best we could hope for regarding an inside pass for Douglas is one session per week, otherwise he would know too much about our training regime. Can't blame the club for not wanting to risk this potentially sensitive info getting out.

Give Doug a one day pass

many happy returns Doug!

John - totally unrelated, but your post just triggered a memory from this morning...........

We are in Cyprus and my 5 year old (yes I started parenthood very late) came up to be in the pool and the following was the conversation.......

"Daddy do you like your new shorts.........." after I have said yes....

"I like them - they are blue - just like man city..........." after another yes from me

"mummy tried to buy you red ones but I told her to throw them away as my daddy will not wear red.............."

Ahhhhh - I win a quality parenting award I think (although my wife does not agree)

Anyway I am looking to put a biggish bet on CITY against Chelsea - do you think Kompany will play???

Thanks again Doug, it finally feels like the season is upon us.

As Vinnie was only jogging around the field yesterday I would be staggerred if he played on Sunday.Just would not seem like a risk worth taking.

And I have got the extra steps John :)

How's my tree Doug ;-)

The tree is excellent and awaits your arrival. Extra undergrowth underneath it for a softer landing as well.

Cool. I've got a weeks leave at the end of the month, I think it may be time for a review of the OSC Carrington Branch ;-)

Thanks a lot mate.

Haha, nice one Beefy.

Oiiii, I need all the encouragement I can get, have you seen the size of that tree!

I may be going out on a limb here, but if the club twigs what you're doing they could chop it down which would leave you stumped.
