Robbie Hunter-Paul made the best Freudian slip re: this England team. He called it the Wigan team. Which it basically is. I know Roby and Wilkin are two of the ones that are sitting it out for injury/general tiredness related reasons, but, given that McNamara has put out an A minus team without any of Makison, Foster (even if he's basically at Hull now) or Lomax, I don't think I'm being paranoid. I suspect none of the Saints babies are going to get much of a look in under this regime. Which I ought to be selfishly grateful for, because fewer matches mean fewer injuries, but at the same time, I want the world to see how awesome our babies are.
That and I expect a sudden finding of Irish grandparents to occur. It's amazing how often Saints players have Irish grandparents.
Oh hells bells, Gareth Ellis is playing for Hull next season. (I know it's because he's now too slow for the NRL, but he's still damn good.)
Against a better side (no offense intended towards Wales, they're young and learning), England would be pulverised. So many mistakes.

Like everyone else I know, I am convinced I have a novel in me (or at least a couple of novellas of dubious quality), but I was stuck so I took some advice from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
saruwatari, and set myself the task of writing 100 words of it a day. And it's working. So thanks for the advice.

The numbers (of hits) on AOOO (which will send you crazy) also give you some interesting information. For instance, I had a huge jump in the number of hits for Walking In These Shoes, which was because I got a rec from beth_h (for which I am immensely grateful). And Skyfall has lead to an uptick in hits on Let Slip The Dogs of War.
I fear the increase in the number of hits for the fics with Stacy Kiebler are to do with her famous boyfriend. Which makes me a bit eek! because I don't know if I've made it clear enough that I write about Stacy Kiebler (TM) rather than the lady herself.
