Glad to hear it :thumbup: Not as good as the lakes though, eh?

Something like that, I think. As professionals, the next game always looms large in their collective conscience. They don't need to be told this.
It was a regular topic of discussion during the recent test match Summer; why it seemed teams nowadays struggled to chase down even modest first innings deficits (one or two statistics were even offered up as evidence). Personally though, I reckon it's simply because a pro quickly recognises a lost cause when he sees one (and then moves on), in a way that an amateur does not, or anyway, cares not to.
True, but so long as that header doesn't go in, and we all sincerely hope it doesn't, then it's all cool.
One article I saw spoke of the Manchester clubs' incredible, almost unprecedented aggregate goals tally at the moment and what's caused it. I'm guessing it's simply that the cannon fodder they've played understand very well that these are not season-defining games for them and they'd be better off saving themselves for matches that are.
The family WES has decided to spend three days in the Lakes this very Dec (27-29 so that you might adjust your schedule accordingly had you planned on going).
Happy to receive any suggested walks for that time of year. Ideally they would be a little bit challenging but not murderous given the two junior WESs will be with me. And of course, they should end next to a pub. :-)
Cheers.
