OK here's a new R&D for the New Year (finally) and lets hop there's lots of Reds before this week/month is out!

RED

The PDC and Phil Taylor winning his 16th World title.

RED A bit of genuine hope. Close enough to the new season I can almost smell it. City breaks. Two weekends sans grog and counting. Zero Dark Thirty - Class film. DEAD Shocking choice, poor golfer with a mediocre Ryder Cup record www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/golf/21034093 Swinton, how I wish it was. Can't we just pave over it and charge people to park and ride into town?

RED
- Christmas and new year with the family and friends
- birthday night out...very very messy but an awesome night out
- birthday present from the missus, unbelievably awesome
- actually going to a Salford game and enjoying it again
- most probably the ridiculously positive news about Salford with all this take-over, stadium and new signings talk...fingers still well and truly crossed on that manner
- excellent and positive appraisal in work for this past year, certainly helps by NOT calling tenants moaning old w@nkers!!
- England winning in India at long last
- cricket season just around the corner
- stag do in the process of being arranged
- forthcoming wedding getting sorted too
- RVP at Nited, miles better than I thought he would be
- the Cleverley and Carrick CM partnership for Nited
- Oldham Athletic

DEAD
- me having a dream where I was playing for Sale
- peope dissing the appointment of the unanimous players' choice for Ryder Cup captain...the backing of the world number 1 not enough??
- snow and ice
- that new Salford change kit...white = good but that purple effort on it is horrific
- office moaners about it being cold...a) it is winter and b) wear some proper fricking winter clothes

Brussels.
Berlin.
Ardennes omelettes.
Duval, Stella, Deus, Hoegaarden and the ones I was too pi$$ed to remember.
The curious reactions a Salford shirt gets in Brussels bars.
Article in the Charleroi airport magazine all about the RL World Cup, considering Manchester is the only UK destination there has to be a huge amount of people from outside the RL community being made aware the event is on.
First wins.
Positive press for the club.
No player safe from the evil clutches of Doctor Kou

RED

The setup at the All Golds - a really friendly club.
