I thought I had better post something quick smart or this blog would have died before it ever really started. There have been a lot of things I had pondered writing about; Man U fans not knowing who Norman Whiteside is for one! I don't really have anything to add to the reams being written regarding England's crapitude against the French except to say that virtually anything that was said about was probably an exaggeration. What I would like to mention though is my new favourite footy ground. I haven't even seen a game there and don't know who plays there but it's fantastic.
Hidden away below the the Docklands Light Railway and cordoned in by various rank smelling business premises is Lyle Park, the hidden jewel of West Silvertown. From the tiny bit of the park you can see from the road it just looks like a run-down children's play area and a couple of scruffy concrete tennis courts. However, venture past these and all of a sudden you find yourself in a little football secret garden.
