NO LOVE HANDLES ALLOWED!

'It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.' Theodore Roosevelt 23 April 1910

Portsmouth 0 Brighton & Hove Albion 1


After a few beers last night I decided I would try and get tickets for today's Championship local derby game between Portsmouth and Brighton. Well I managed to get 2 tickets (the other being for our second son) but being a Brighton supporter I would have to curb my enthusiasm as our seats were not in the visitors end but in one of the Portsmouth stands! Brighton won and we survived, and we both thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon. On this form Brighton should be comfortably in the top half of the table at the end of the season, and maybe even contenders for a play off place. Portsmouth, however, are definitely relegation contenders unless they sort themselves out.

Almost forgot, the knee is slightly better today and it is less stiff with more flexibility. Fingers crossed for a similar improvement again tomorrow.
