You may have mentioned a lull in updates in the last couple of days, something that might continue this week as I’m smack in the middle of the busiest two weeks of my working year right now (yep, I have a day job). I’m leaving for Germany tomorrow and while I’m away for the five days I may only have limited access to the net in order to provide some valuable updates. Totally outrageous I know, but I’m hoping you’ll let me off if and once I return at the weekend I’ll get things moving again.

For now I’ll update injuries, early team news and my Scout Picks tonight, although I’m sure I’d want to change these by the weekend - I may not be able to, so please let me off if my choices look slightly odd come Saturday.
