OK, so this marks one of the biggest weeks of football in my life. Blatently, the biggest week ever was in 1999 when 3 games in 10 days decided the Treble, helped me to lose my voice, and is possibly the reason why I'm not a commerical airline pilot (and that's a different story).
On Wednesday night, United will take on Chelsea in the final of the Champion's League. I'm looking forward to this game so much. We have a chance to win our 3rd Champions League title, and to do it against those upstarts from Stamford Bridge would make it all the more sweet.
Chelsea are a good side, but we do their players feel the need to start a war of words with every club they play. I know that it was one of Mourinho's favourtie tactics, but he's gone. What price Paul Scholes hitting the winner?
On Saturday, I'm taking George to London to watch Hull City. They play Bristol City in the Championship play-offs, the so called £60m Shoot Out. The winner will play in the Premiership next year, and it would fantastic for the city if Hull could do the business. It's reportedly the biggest city in Europe never to have had a top flight football team. A 6-1 demolition of Watford saw them into the final, and hopefully they can carry on in the same vein of form.
So, by Sunday morning, hopefully I'll be happier than I am today.

OK, must do better is becoming a theme here!
Life certainly changed for the better 7 weeks ago. Sarah gave birth to our daughter, Thea Grace. She was born at 5.24am on 14th January 2008, and weighed 7lb 7 1/2oz (that's about 3.39kg in new money).
Obviously, we are all over the moon. She has a very loving, and protective, big brother, and I can't say enough about how proud I am of George and how he's taken to her.
The first couple of weeks were fairly sleepless, but she has settled into a good routine, and is growing nicely. She furnishes us with numerous smiles, and she now weighs 8lb 15oz (as of last Friday).
I don't think I'll ever be able to describe quite how much in awe I am of Sarah, who carried our baby for nine months, and then gave birth, and how looks after Thea with so much love and kindness. I'm the happiest I have been in a long time, and I have Sarah to thank for it.
