Wycombe Wanderers appoint new Manager

Well the press conference hasn’t actually happened yet, but if Wycombe don’t appoint Peter Taylor, I will be flabberghasted. Rumours have been going round all day about the identity of the new manager, personally the moment they announced the press conference yesterday I was concerned about an internal appointment as I didn’t think enough time had happened since Lamberts departure last week for the club to interview another manager. However given that Peter resigned from Stevenage last month and was the England U21 manager as well as Caretaker Manager for England’s 1st team, it was hopefully a quick process, probably went something like this.

Ivor Beek : Peter, it’s Ivor from Wycombe, I hear you are interested in the Wycombe Managers job.

Peter Taylor : Yep.

Ivor (Doing his best Alan Sugar impersonation) : Your Hired

Ok, so probably a little bit more to it than that but…….

Apolgies to anyone else who’s Football team had a bad weekend…

Nuff Said. Even Wycombe only drawing in the 1st leg of the Play-Off Semi couldn’t take the smile off my face.

Shhh be very very quiet, this blog is sleeping

HHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Hmmm, maybe that will wake it up, it’s been a little quiet round here and for that I apologise, life is kind of tough to cope with at the moment and for those of you who know and have offered support, you don’t know how much we appreciate that. Any how trying to drag myself out of the mire that I feel like I am stuck in, we shall start with a round the houses look at the brighter points in my life at the minute.

Firstly well done to the Chairboys for making it to the League 2 Playoff final, it’s probably going to go hideously wrong from here, but it’s been a real change to have a season where the last couple of games haven’t really meant much. I did at the start of the season have this silly idea that we might get auto promotion, but then again I’m an optomist, play-offs was really the more likely option, but I will be pleasantly surprised if we get through to the final. However it’s nice to have a season where we have someone banging in the goals and we are not constantly looking over our shoulders for someone to come in and give us a stupidly low offer for them. Anyway more on the Chairboys as the play-offs unfold.

This month has been a bit of a gadget fest if I am to be honest, I have bought an Iomega Screenplay 500Gb Drive which has now replaced the defunct DIVX player I had there, it’s now just a question of filling it. I also splurged out on the ridiculously extravagent Vuzix iWear AV920 which allow me to do my Geordie LaForge impressions when watching my iPod at lunch time. Both are proving very useful, even if I look like a bit of a twit using the headset. We have of course also seen the release of GTAIV and all I can say is WOW!!! Yep this game is really living up to the promise IMO and I fully recommend anyone who hasn’t got it (and is over 18, and not buying it for their kid) to get a copy, it’s huge, it’s interesting and according to every PC nimwit out there it’s going to turn us into mindless killers.

Went and saw IronMan at the flicks on Sunday and thoroughly enjoyed it, unlike other superheroes, this was one film where I knew nothing about the backstory of the character and whilst the story was updated to modern times, setting it in Afghanistan rather than Vietnam, from what I have read since the backstory holds true. At a little over 2 hrs long the film is cut just right, although it did seem to me that the climactic final battle was over fairly quickly. All in all well worth a viewing.

And finally I will be posting my story online soon, probably not here, but on one of the many online story sites. I will post a link to it soon.
