I think we all want Conor to stay but will he? Time for him to sign that contract. As for big Trev, I have seen nothing to suggest he will leave and certainly hope he stays. Home grown and a really nice lad as well. As for Poch I'm now in two minds, as most of you who read my posts will know I did want him replaced, particuarly after the Cup Final but with the team starting to gel and players finding form do we stick with him? hard one to call? ED01 what would you do as far as Poch is concerned?
{Ed001's Note - personally I would replace him because I don't think he is a winner, but I can see the value in giving him another season at least. Right now there are not many options out there to replace him, so it probably makes a lot of sense.}

Thanks ED01 for your reply. How are you? I'm going back out to Dubai later this year and would love to buy you a pint if you are out there at the same time.
{Ed001's Note - I am good mate, I am going back there in a few days to try and find a place to live, so I might well be out there. Though it would have to be a pint of fruit juice or something as I don't drink alcohol! Are you working out there?}

Yes ED01, weeks on and weeks off. I love it. Weather is a bit strange at the moment, lots of wind and a bit of rain which is strange this time of year.
{Ed001's Note - yeah I am just hoping the airport will be open!}

I had to work in the UAE for 2x6 month periods a few years ago.
I enjoyed living in Abu Dhabi more than Dubai and the property prices were about 50% cheaper. Although there was a lot more social life in Dubai.
{Ed001's Note - it is not that much cheaper any more. Personally I am not a fan of Abu Dhabi - too many restrictions.}

It is very expensive now Tom.

G8, yes I’ve been told that property has increased in price but I’m just assuming that Abu Dhabi is still cheaper property wise.
