Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Good morning all on this sunny day . I hope all had a good night and have a fine day today .So we have seen the last of Onana as I have said before he disappointed me and I feel he could be a player who never quite produces to his ability except in his head .COYB

Morning Blue. The forecast for us is light rain or drizzle, starting in ten minutes time and lasting for the next three hours. Onana looks to have everything as a player, but somehow it never seemed as if his heart was in it. He’ll be great in a better team and I’m sure the £50million will be quite useful unless it becomes ‘arteta money’…..
 
Morning everyone.

Early start today as I'm off to Southport to help move our clubs table tennis tables to a new venue , so if you see me carrying a big green table up Lord Street, give me a wave !

Beautiful day today so have a lovely day everyone.

Or even stop you and have a quick game with a public gallery watching…..Street Wiff Waff...I’ve just invented a new genre of the game.

Good afternoon all. We've had a mixed bag weather wise today. Cold this morning but a lovely sunny afternoon. There is still a huge hole in the road after the water leak got fixed. Northumbrian Water don't seem to be in any hurry to come and fill it in.
Chris has an appointment with his oncologist tomorrow and will get his scan results. I've had a really difficult day today thinking about it. I know how upset he will be if it isn't clear especially after everything he's been through already. I keep telling him that whatever happens it is another step on the way to recovery and sometimes the road has a few twists and turns. His appointment isn't until 3pm so he's going to have to wait all day.
I hope you got everything moved @jazzy. Is your club getting new ones or are you changing your venue?
So Onana has gone - I think 50m is a good deal. He showed some good stuff at times but never seemed to be bothered. Maybe Villa will be a better fit for him.
Have a nice evening everyone.

Oh I'm so hoping that you and Chris are celebrating tomorrow Anj.

Yep, table tennis club has moved premises, pretty much from one end of Lord St to the other. Much bigger and will enable us to attract more players especially young players.

Totally agree re Onana.

Been lovely here today , done loads of cardio and then a 2 hour table tennis session in very hot conditions but wrecked it when I got home to have a packet of crisps and s beer in the early evening sun! Oh well an extra half hour of cardio tomorrow to make up for it.

Currently in the middle of a great new book by Peter May - no not the one who played cricket for England - genuinely superb read.

Jazzy you are doing it all wrong. Embrace the beer and the crisps, forgo this exercise stuff and enjoy life as you never know what is around the corner…proper sage advice, given free and with all my love……

Anj I’m praying that it turns out ok, but of course you are right, whatever the result it’s just another step on the journey…love to you all……..
