What a really great weekend I have just had. It all started on the Friday when I had a half day finish at work. Me and Hartlepool Saint decided to share the driving, so I drove over to Hartlepool mid afternoon, and we made it past the m62 traffic no problems.

The only traffic problems we had were when we took a different turn off the m62 as we heard the a580 was very busy with roadworks. This was the comical moment as we got hoplessley lost. Anyway we drove into Manchester, and after going thru various streets we saw a stadium ahead. Queue Hartlepool Saint saying " look we have ended up at Warringtons stadium " , Strange I thought considering we were in Manchester... " No it isnt mate I said, its Old Trafford " !!!! Thats how lost we had got.... Oh deary me and unbelievable scenes. After asking the worlds most dippy taxi driver the way we eventually made it to St Helens and time for a couple of beers in the Bull, and a chat with a few mates.

A great game and a drive straight back home after yet another win. Then on Saturday I decided to go and watch We will rock you, the musical at the Sunderland Empire. Brilliant, and the song " we are the champions " seemed to have a familiar ring to it. And on the Sunday we went down to the quayside and had a great chill out near the Millenium bridge.

Ive now got my own local weekly radio show on a station called NE1 FM, and if you listen to it online you can log on to ne1fm.com go to downloads and them listen live. Its a mix of sport and music and is on a Monday night 7 till 9.. Im always talking about Saints and I will play any music you ask for. 3 weeks till Wembley now and counting....

Oh and Wigan lost again hehehe
