Our apols for our recent break in transmission but we were struck down by a dose of the creeping lurgey and we’re only just indicated blindly and screamed headlong back into traffic as we set course on the road to Wellville.
Not that we’ve missed much as, while we were tucked up in bed strewing snot and coughing furballs, the weekend’s football was by all accounts the most boring FA Cup fourth round in living memory.
Elsewhere around the spurting multiverse: Becks apparently wants to stay at Milan and they might even cough up to the Galaxy to keep him. All to the good say we, though harsh on LA. Talking of the US, we must also give an honourable mensh to Sunday where our beloved Pittsburgh Steelers (the first team we saw play Yankee footy) are back in the Superbowl big time - going of a record fifth title and it’s live on BBC. Result! Go Steelers FTW! Erm... hm.
Finally important developments in the vexed question of the leadership of the ECB. Now any mate of Bozzer’s is usually guaranteed to be a oik of the first water, but Lord Marland has some intriguing ideas and most importantly, he’s come out in favour of a return to terrestrial Test screening.
With Culture Sec Andy Burnham also apparently keen to return them to Crown Jewel status, could we see an axis forming to return domestic Test cricket back to its rightful place on our TV screens?
We live in hope dear reader, we can but live in hope.

Woo! The NFL does indeed exist in the spurting multi-verse! I hadn't realized you spurters paid attention to any colonial games other than the cricket! Super-bowl sunday lads, get your bets ready! I'll take the cards for a pitcher of mountain ale!
Man - I'm so looking forward to it, with my long-time fondness for the Steelers.
It's a bit late though on this side of the pond, might have to check out the action on I-Player.
Good to hear from you dude. How's the Sens and my Canucks?
