Something of a pre-emptive strike.
Today's the big day.
Well, the first of two.
First, (today), I go to Oxford for my pre-operative assessment, for a planned operation on my left wrist/hand. Second, of course, is the actual thing.
What was originally planned was to straight it out to give it a natural look and give it more function.
But also, I'm going to ask about my weird joint in my thumb, which seems to stick out a fair bit. When I was 11 I tried a botox injection, which needless to say, went terribly wrong.
So I'm not all that optimistic about my chances for this once.
Let's hope they at least get the anaesthetic levels right so I don't feel a thing!
Will take lots of pictures of beautiful Oxford rather than my strange hand!
More later. Stay Tuned.

Southgate in Stupidgate scandal
Big game tonight, at the rear end of the Premier League.
Newcastle face Middlesborough in what looks like to be a relegation decider with just 3 games to go.
The funniest of thing of all, comes from a comment from Gareth Southgate, in what I call "Southgate in Stupidgate scandal"...

- "We are probably closer to survival than we were eight weeks ago because the tally needed to stay up seems to reduce every week." -
Hilarious. If his management is as good as his pre-match comments, you can be sure to witness a Shearer inspired 3 points today and Middlesborough in the Championship next season.

Port Vale manager Glover sacked - Next: Leroy Rosenoir?
Port Vale and manager Dean Glover have agreed to part ways, it has been announced today.
Talks of a new manager have already banged around the names of current assistant Kevin Downing and John Ward (former Cheltenham manager) according to the Guardian, a replacement will be found by the end of May.
Of managers currently in a job... here's my wish list:
Martin Allen
Danny Wilson
Mark Newell
Out of a job:
Leroy Rosenoir
Tony Adams
Paul Ince
Steve Cotterill
Ian Holloway
Micky Adams
Gary McAllister
John Sheridan
Andy Ritchie
Gary Hill
Some of these names, I admit are pie-in-the-sky, but there are a host of names Port Vale could be attracting really and should be targeting.
Any one of these names other than former Cheltenham boss John Ward are the ones to go for, and would be a real coup.
Anything but a former player is needed (though I'd accept Gareth Ainsworth currently at QPR).
The other important thing is TIME.
Money is something Port Vale really don't have much of, but first and foremost a team needs a manager so that is the number one priority. No point spending on a team if the framework isn't there.
Second, considering the money situation at Vale, it makes sense to guarantee the manager time to at least bring in his own staff once the current backroom's contracts expire.
It's time for a fresh start for Vale and a fresh new era. It's the only way, and the only way Port Vale will go up the ladder and not down into non-League obscurity.
Over my games watching at Port Vale I have witnessed fickle fans never really giving Glover the chance because 'Porter' was the one everyone wanted - but even now I don't think he is the man either.
Port Vale require time and support of fans and maybe we can do a Swansea or MK Dons to rise up those divisions on limited funds.
It can be done, but Port Vale at Boardroom level to team management to the fans need to stick behind to get this to work.
My personal choice as manager from my list? Leroy Rosenoir, though if I had a pie in the sky option... Paul Ince, Mike Newell* or Mickey Adams would do just nicely.
*Mike Newell was my choice before Glover was appointed, if Vale had got him instead this season could have been a whole lot different.
