Change of plans

We were planning to go to Southampton today, but Lara had her most fractious day so far yesterday, she wasn't very happy at all while I was bathing her, and after a nine-and-a-half hour day at work without a break, and a tough evening with Lara, I didn't think any of us could face an early start this morning.
So I'm listening to the game now on BBC Radio Hampshire via the internet, it's 0-0 after 20 minutes. We've just had a lovely walk round the block, and popped into our local pub for a Guinness - having been under threat of redevelopment as flats late last year, but after a word with the dog-friendly current landlord, it seems there is a convenant on the building which has prevented this.
I have put a couple of bets on the Liverpool v Havant game, the main one I wanted to put on was that Havant would lead at some point, but I didn't fully understand the betting slip, so I didn't go through with the bet... guess what - Havant are currently leading! I've got money on Harry Kewell to score the last goal in a 4-1 win to Liverpool, I placed that bet before I saw the team line ups - Kewell isn't in the squad!

Now Havant are 1-2 up. Doh.

Shakers for the Cup

Look at Bury go! I hadn't realised they'd sacked the manager until tonight, when they were the Shock of the Night on Sky Sports while I was watching Liverpool win for beating Norwich 2-1. I thought it was a little harsh of Mike Newell to say something like "if it'll rain anywhere, it'll rain in Bury".
They'll play Southampton in the 4th round at the end of January, at St Mary's. Hmm, I'll have to see if Ola and Lara fancy a trip to the South Coast that weekend for some sea air? I've probably still got my inflatable black pudding somewhere!
