Its been a bit, yes I know, but we’re still here, pining away for the downward spiral of our favored footie club (FC Barcelona), drowning our sorrows in pint after pint while the strains of sweet soul music fill the air. While many of you lot will fill the bars today to watch Chelski take on the dark forces of Man U in the Champions League final, we’ll be down at the rubber factory, steel cap boots on our feet, dreaming of what could have been.
