Bostock's dad says it's not about the money!

Thanks for nothing

John Bostock's move to Tottenham Hotspur from Crystal Palace has nothing to do with money - according to his dad.

Michael Brown believes the Eagles' 16-year-old wonderkid is signing for Spurs because that is where he can develop best.

Chelsea and Barcelona had been chasing Bostock and Brown insists he could have gone to either club if the family wanted the cash.

"If John was leaving Crystal Palace for money, he would’ve gone to the biggest and richest club in the world, which he could have done," Brown told the South London Press.

"You can name a big club in England rumoured to be interested in him and it’s a fact. There was great interest from Barcelona but from a family point of view it was never an option because John wasn’t going to leave London.

"But John turned down the richest club in the world and he chose instead to go to the club where he believes he will develop best.

"He’s had a fantastic time at Palace. He’s been at the club since the age of seven and has got a lot of great memories. He’s got to thank everybody there for what’s happened because if it wasn’t for Palace he wouldn’t be where he is today."

Errr Yeah thanks Bostock family for repaying that 7 years by walking out when when we was about to help you help us.

Watch out John Terry...

Damn it

In a good game of footy, apart from the Chelsea players giving it big and moaning at the ref way too much, Man United won on penalty's in a game that drained the players BUT they get paid enough and will no doubt be having the full treatment today.

Men Rule - I'm Gay

Windass - Local boy done good, not gay that I know of...

Nope I have not suddenly realised that I like men. I saw it on the back of a car and it made me laugh. Whereas you normally see, Clean me I'm dirty OR the old classic Also available in White. A VW Passett had MEN RULE I'M GAY scrawled across the back.

Less said about football the better.... Well apart from good luck to Hull though as I have lots of mates from up there north.

Come on you Eagles

Been a while again...
First off my thoughts are with the people of Burma, for those that do not know my mother is Burmese and although we dont have family, as such, in the country it is still heart breaking to see the Junta refuse help. Faye and I travelled round Burma during our year out and it is a great place with the nicest people you could meet.

Footy News
Well after not receiving my ticket for Saturdays game against Bristol City there was bit of a mad panic to pick up my tickets pre match although saying that I just walked up to the window that had my Surname detailed, not sure why 100's queued up behind A-E unless they are are all in that range, personally I guess they love the English way of queuing.

Is bit of a story behind my ticket though as I laughed at my Dad because Faye had said that my ticket had arrived so after laughing at him getting stressed I go home for a BBQ (Details to follow) and sat down to a nice beer and some food when he calls to say he is ringing the PO sorting office up at 6am to see if the ticket was there before box office at 7.45 to get the ticket ready for a pick up, I grab my tickets saying they are in my hand when it occurred to me to check and they had only sent my guest tickets and not my season ticket one. Oh how he laughed...

Dont know why they could not just "credit" the season ticket as it is a smart card.

We played quite poor on Saturday after a good game last week when we beat Burnley 5-0 but I still think we will do it tonight.

Bostock is meant to be off but I will post more on my views of that later in the week.

BBQ News
What a nightmare, first off I never cleaned the BBQ properly so it was a mess and the gas was empty so tearing round to many gas places I discover there is a huge shortage for 5KG patio gas so I could not get one BUT then had a result as the boy in the petrol station sold me a 13KG one and took the 5KG in exchange saved some dosh there as I should of paid for an upgrade as well as the gas.

Kids Club
Max is getting so grown up and last night he went to bed with no nappy on. He has been dry throughout the night for a while but last night was his first with no nappy.

Skye is trying to pull herself up all the time now and is very cute. Still not easy to make her smile like Max was but it is more rewarding when she does.

I will post a picture up very soon but I'm at work for this post.

Sure there was lots of other things to blog about so will try harder to get some time, enjoy the sun.
