Chuft for Darren Moore, he deserves that job, good luck to the fella!

Thanks Ed, hope you and everybody else has a great Saturday!

{Ed001's Note - he did work a minor miracle. Cheers mate, it should be a good quiet day out here. Have fun and try not to get too excited watching the big events.....}

Got a busy day ahead mate, too busy for my liking! lol hows life treating you mate? bet it feels much better not having to do the match previews? :)

{Ed001's Note - that is a huge weight off my shoulders! I have been able to get back to the Tyson article that I had been having to keep leaving for later. Much more enjoyable than trying to find something different to say about 20 teams than I said the previous game. It is such hard work as many times nothing much changes between one game and the next.

Not having a break for the weekend? Or are you busy making sure you are all mani-peddied up for the wedding? Have you got a little plastic union flag ready to wave as they go past? ;-)}

Hahaha oh you know it mate, going to have the flag flying the lot! I even told my bird 'Can you look like Megan for a day' we can dream lol somebody I know has actually gone to London to be part of the crowds, bugger that haha!

If only I could have a break mate, I need it, I'm so close to quitting my job, it's getting beyond a joke, looking at another 18 hours today or if I'm lucky 16-17. I'm thinking of going into close protection instead.

I was going to ask you the other day about the Tyson article but didn't want to come across as nagging as I only asked the other week! glad you have more time mate, how you did that every week is beyond me. Loved reading them though mate so I will miss them! you did a stellar job on em! but if I had to choose between the match previews and quality articles, it'd be the articles.

{Ed001's Note - I don't actually know what she looks like to be honest. I wouldn't recognise her if she was kicking me out the way for being a commoner.

I know what you mean, sometimes a break is all you need to revive you. Though I find myself checking the sites even when I am going round the supermarket getting the shopping. I have my phone in front of me keeping an eye on the sites and constantly keep stopping to edit. Much to the annoyance of other people in the shop! If you find a job you enjoy you will never actually work a day in your life. Personally I would suggest having a word with your boss because the last thing you want to do is work yourself into a breakdown and be unable to work at all.

Sorry the Tyson one has taken so long. It is going to be long as well! I had about half as many notes on Cruyff and left out quite large chunks of his life to keep the article manageable. It is not really possible to do that with Tyson, I am trying to squeeze things down a bit, but without leaving out anything important it is not easy to do.}

Ed should I ask the question? 😁.

{Ed001's Note - do you have a nice ring for me BiL? Do I need to act surprised?}

Mate she's a bloody stunner lol and that lucky buggers gone and bagged her, I wouldn't mind, I'm better looking then him ;)

Hahaha, I've often wondered if you ever had a break because your usually always on here, we appreciate it ed mate!

See that's it, I've got many options I can do, luckily. There's a few things I've got on my mind, from starting my own door supervision company to running a restaurant, I just don't know what's the right fit for me yet, I just have to take that plunge and do it!

If I went into close protection it might mean I'd have to move, in fact it'd probably mean that and I don't want to unsettle my 2 boys by doing so, it's awkward. Good advice though mate I should have a word with the boss and see what can be worked out I mean I've moaned in the past but not properly had a word, if nothing can be worked out I'll hand in my resignation and start a new chapter, we're only here once :) .

No need to apologise mate I know it's been busy as hell for you and writing something that long about a man who has so much about him can't be easy. Take your time mate I'm sure it'll be worth the read for many people. Thanks for the post Ed. Enjoy the wedding ;) lol.

{Ed001's Note - you may be better looking but his family has stolen far more money than yours over the last few hundred years, so you are not much competition. Though your family is probably not as inbred, it can't compete with the money...

A break? Only if I go to watch a movie, which is why I go to the cinema if I can as that is the only time I will actually switch off. If I watch a film at home the comp is always on! It is the same if I play a video game, I only tend to play solo games because then I can just pause it every few minutes to edit. Other than that sleep is my break.

If you want my advice, I would not worry so much about unsettling the kids, they adapt very quickly and new experiences are a good way to learn. Just do what you will enjoy doing most of all. Your whole family will benefit from you being happier far more than they will from you being richer.

I am going to celebrate the nuptials by burying my head in writing and not even switching the TV on until the footie starts....}

You always act surprised with me Ed although maybe that's not a good thing on my behalf😉At least your in good form mate.

{Ed001's Note - I knew this day would come BiL, you had been building up to it for a while. Just don't be too downhearted when I say no because the rock isn't big enough. It's not my fault you are a tight arse!}

Great article Ed. (as always) . Have a good weekend mate.

{Ed001's Note - cheers RN, you enjoy the wedding, I am sure you will be glued to it.}

Exactly Ed and that's what it all comes down to, money!

Lol I know what you mean especially regarding video games, it's too easy to hold alt and press tab to go to other screens and be sidetracked. When I used to play football manager I used to do it all the time, let the game play out whilst I was browsing. You should give yourself a couple of days off a week mate. Nah infact, don't. Your the heart and soul of this site, sorry to be selfish mate but your not allowed a break ;) lol.

You give good advice Ed and to be quite honest the close protection work is what I really want to do, I have always wanted to do it but ended up in the police first. I have opportunities all over including funnily enough Dubai, France, the states, over here multiple places etc there's so much work in that sector it's unreal, especially at your end, my brother went out to do close protection in Medina and he loved it, he's elsewhere now mind. It's one of them isn't it, you have to do what makes you happy and your right, it'd make me happy and the family overall! going to start making preparations I think, you've motivated me lol.

Thanks again mate.

{Ed001's Note - I don't know what to do with myself when I do try and have a break. I am constantly wondering if the posts are piling up etc. I ended up more stressed than if I am working.

If it is what you want to do, and it is possible and reasonable to do, then that is what you should do. You will only live your life regretting you didn't do it otherwise. Life is far too short for regrets.}

That's right Ed, got my bunting out ready. In reality though I'm not bothered at all. It doesn't help that I keep thinking he's marrying Angela Merkel.

{Ed001's Note - if he was I would watch that!}

Darren Moore is who they should have hired instead of the perennially incompetent Alan Pardew.
