    [Albion] Juan Mata

    He seems like a proper nice guy, and for me a top player on his day - maybe that's not often enough, but was v.surprised when Chelsea let him go.

    It's all hard to accept on reflection this morning

    It wasn't a red, but considering we probably played better with 10 than 11, maybe you should be thanking him.

    [Albion] Middlesbrough Weather

    From the TV it didn't look too bad for somewhere that's inside the Arctic Circle.

    How are you feeling about the play-offs now?

    Indeed, lost to Derby in the final. Dead cert.

    Has a top ref

    Of course not, they don't say anything or it would pre-judge any appeal.

    It's all hard to accept on reflection this morning

    Two teams are ahead of us in the table. Get over it.

    Does yesterday give us reasons to be more optimistic about the play-offs?

    I'm not too downhearted after yesterday, was always going to be a really difficult game, but we came through it ok - even if not the result we wanted. I never fancied our chances and Boro probably deserve to go up. In the play-offs ..... we lose to Derby in the final. Shame, good season.

    Where are you?

    At home in Shoreham, on my own in front of the TV. To be fair, nobody would want to be near me, I've not had a shower since Tues - instructions not to after an Operation.

    [Football] I've got a feeling (about Boro)

    Quite like that. Snow on the ground - must have been shot in July.

    Omens

    My omen is that I think we're certainly going to lose ... that's it then, 4-0 to us. But, having now predicted we'll win 4-0, we must be going to lose. Hmmm, now I've said we'll lose, it must mean ..... oo er, this is doing my head in.

    Albion in the schools

    The payback was that we did sport every weekday between 2 & 4, so not all bad. I was the head boy too, so I was da boss :)

    Albion in the schools

    At school on a Saturday, maybe not. However, I may be the only Albion fan that can claim to have been at school on that day in '79 - at our school we had lessons on Saturday mornings !

    ** Middlesbrough v BHA ** - Score Predictor - 5th SEASON !!

    Hmm, I have an awful feeling for an anticlimax for us. I would have gone for a 4-0 reverse, but it wasn't there, so plumped for a 3-0 loss. Not what I want, but what I fear. Would love to be wrong.

    Albion in the schools

    Blue and white doesn't necessarily mean a replica kit, though to be fair an awful lot more local kids will already have a kit than would have been the case 10 years ago.

    [Albion] NOT flat

    I read that as "baboons", and my first thought was "he may need some help with those on Saturday"

    How confident about Middlesbrough?

    Not at all, can see a heavy defeat - but then they've proved me wrong this season so far.

    Any software developers out there who can help ...

    I'd agree with that. 2 week sprints seemed about right to me, but the admin overhead can be tedious to some, but very important. Everyone has to attend scrums - and you must stand up ! We used those Agile playing cards you can buy for a while, to estimate task size, but that didn't work too well.

    Any software developers out there who can help ...

    I did Agile at 3 different places, and if it's done properly it really can be very good. If it is done half-heartedly, and not everyone buys into it, it's pretty much a waste of time. Personally I loved it, but it took quite a while to get to that good place. We start with a team where people...

    Man Utd Vs Leicester

    I go for a draw at United today, but I don't see Spurs beating Chelsea, in fact I'd plump for a Chelsea win. No matter, the Foxes will win it one way or the other.
