I've been driving in my car...

International weeks. Not a fan. International friendlies? Hate with a passion.

I must say that I am glad that Michael Carrick is finally getting the recognition that he deserves for his current form but it always worries me when our players go off to play for their countries. It always seems a rare occurrence for all involved to return unscathed.

The break is allowing Chelsea to close in on assuring that Guus Hiddink will be the man to see out their season. He does have some international concerns to handle with Russia, but games against Liechtenstein and Azerbaijan should be formalities. He does have knowledge of Europe after a good spell with PSV and should be much more at home in league football than Scolari was. Hope not, obviously. His first task will be to reunify the troops and if he does that, I feel Chelsea could be right back snapping on the heels of the top two as things stand.

Another Man Utd player has fallen foul of car related matters. Tevez decided to take his pimped out Bentley for a spin only to be pulled over for having over-tinted windows. Then when asked to produce his driving licence he was forced to admit that he doesn't actually have one. Sigh. Footballers, eh?

Please take a moment to check out the blogs that I read from the menu on the right. You've got a decent selection already with a fellow Man Utd supporter (As I See It), a Liverpool fan (Three Pints) and long suffering Spurs fan spooky's excellent Dear Mr Levy.
