It’s a long time since I read Silas but I enjoyed it. Her most ‘human’ novel, I think. I’ve never been able to finish The Mill but Middlemarch is really worth perservering with, although hard going in parts.

I feel proud of our side this morning. (Only saw L'pool on TV/Man C on radio.) Apart from individual errors during a short spell yesterday, we put up a respectable performance against a team that can bring £100m player on as a sub. If we concentrate on beating the bottom 2/3rds of table, shd be OK.

Hi Anna, Thanks for sending the article. I’d be keen to contribute. At the moment, I have a very close deadline for my new ITFC book but when I’ve finished that, I’ll be in touch.

Well, the first 2 are a bit hideous. Away to Man City is next. 😱 But the games after that are winnable & that’s when it gets nerve-wracking.

I thought we played pretty well given the circumstances (lots of new players, slow pitch, playing top 6 opposition). Lost 2-0 but we didn’t look bad against them at all.

🙁 How do you think they’ll fare over the season?

Good luck getting a ticket. Atmosphere sounds wonderful. Back to the good days.

Isn’t it? I’m going to enjoying every minute - even the dreadful referee decisions.
