Fordham tomorrow / Family time

Another early Saturday morning with a cup of coffee on the couch and the BPL early game Liverpool v Newcastle on the telly.  Entertaining first half with Newcastle playing well to deny Liverpool time and space on the ball and holding onto a 1-0 lead before the mini magician Luis Suarez gets free and draws a penalty and subsequent red card for the Newcastle defender.  Stevie G scored the PK and his 100th premier league goal. A good week for him after scoring for England and qualifying for the world cup.  Not that he needs the money but he really should buy a lottrey ticket today the way his weeks going.

Onto practice and a brief scouting report and chat got the session started before we hit the field.  I was rather excited to take the warm up as I cannot remember the last time I took one, probably way back in preseason.  The warm up can set the tone for the whole session and the players have to be mentally and physically ready for the next stage.  Today it was 3 teams winning team staying on with resting team providing service from the outside.  After I called the crossbar rebound and volleyed in to score I felt on fire so was pleased to step in for the yellow team as they were a man short.  Unfortunately I couldn't replicate my crossbar challenge form and was rather non existant in the games but enjoyed it all the same.  A cool down and the players were done for the day.  Emphasizing the need to rest, eat right and get plenty of fluids in the build up to the game tomorrow the session was over and it was time to catch the end of the BPL scores.

Just when I thought my fantasy team would be a disaster this week, Ramsey came off the bench to score another goal for Arsenal and Ozil got his second.  More importantly Southampton who were trailing 1-0 at Man Utd got a late equalizer which made my day.  No other major surprises so I was home in time for the West Ham game.  

this Afternoon was with the family kicking a ball and some shopping and then we were home for Cerys to watch our newly purchased movie "The Wizard of Oz".  Just to clarify, The original movie not the poor remake.  

Great day spent watching, coaching and playing soccer followed by some quality time with the family.  Good results for Southampton and Swansea now I need a good result for GW tomorrow.
