Hard times to come people; no Aston Villa until November 21st. I really don't like it when this happens and it isn't the first time this season and it isn't going to be the last either, but we can't do anything about it, so we move on.
Instead, we have some news. Stephen Warnock is called up for the England friendly match against Brazil. He is joined by Ashley Young and James Milner but there is no place for Gabby.
I gotta say that I'm surprised there is no place for Gabby but maybe Capello has seen all he needs to see and he has picked Darren Bent instead this time. Maybe it is a case of Gabby or Bent for the provisional squad for South Africa that will be announced later this year.
It is good news for Warnock who I actually rate quite high, is good at getting forward and has an excellent cross. If given 90minutes, I'm sure he'll demonstrate what he is capable of.
Moving on to Ian Ormondroyd. The Football League website has a new feature; The Big Interview. Quite a fitting title considering his height. Anyway, he might not have spent that much time with us, but if you have a question for him, all you have to do is
Right, seeing as there is no football for such a long time, unless you count a friendly match against Brazil, we're going to get interactive. Not only can you send your questions in for Ormondroyd, we've also got a quick question for you to answer to the right. This wasn't all my idea, so thanks to Dan for sending in, it is a good idea.
I'm also thinking, seeing as we have so many players at the moment in so many positions, we might do this for a few of them over the next few days, so hopefully, by the time we do have football again, we will have picked our preferred defenders, midfielders, strike force and formation.
Should make it a little interesting over the next few days, but to start with, your preferred right back. Please vote. I'm off for coffee.
