Aberdeen 0-1 Florida

Well the die is cast, the tickets booked and I'm off to Florida for a fortnight. Me and my youngest brother Chris sharing a fortnight together, what can go wrong? I love you dearly brother but somehow we manage to wind each other right up, this time though I'm goin all out to be the perfect guest, you'll see. I'll wrestle crocodiles for you if they approach the back garden and I'll be the ready made child sitter for my niece and nephew anytime you please. All I ask in return is oceans of macaroni cheese, gallons of pop (or have you started calling it soda now?) and wall to wall Sky Sports.

I'll be travelling light because I'm tight and refuse to cough up for excess baggage on the plane. There are people I'm going to miss like mad while over there so forgive the blubbing if I get homesick, in the event that I do get melancholic maybe shove on this video of Villa beating Albion in '90, that Daley goal still sends shivers down my spine. Wind it on to 16 seconds and watch the 30 seconds that follow, magic stuff. To make it better the tackle preceeding the goal was by my second favourite Villa player then the killer pass by my all-time favourite, sweet!

I was in the Albion end that day, standing next to Dave Edwards, I nearly tore the sleeve from his jacket when that goal went in, if I'd have jumped up I'd have been toast. Watch the away end go nuts when the ball hits the net, awesome.

See you Wednesday Chris, I'll be the one looking white, fatigued but excited.
