   Sebastian Lletget didn’t get out of the dugout today, but hey he has fought his way up to the game day 18 two weeks running, I am sure we will see him on the pitch soon.

    As we get ready to wrap it up today – a little of what is going on for the rest of the year.

    In England, this is the busiest time of the year, and so the most important except the last week. Most teams will find themselves playing 3 games over a six /seven day period (Weekend of 22nd, Traditional Boxing Day-that’s the day after Christmas, and then weekend of the 29th)I will definitely follow the games on the 2 weekends, I cannot promise Boxing Day, but I will try.

    Most of the European Leagues will break after the 22nd, some returning on the 29th, but not all. Germany will be the first to return from Winter Break around 19th January 2013.
