Bah, humbug.

Tomorrow we welcome one of the biggest club's in the division to Huish Park for what is the last home game before Christmas. I'll say that again, the last home game before Christmas. Bloody hell is it really? Are we that close to Christmas? Have you done your Christmas shopping yet? You'll have to forgive my smug look - I finished my Christmas shopping yesterday with the exception of one or two small bits and pieces. I can relax in a self-satisfied warm glow of contentment which will naturally be replaced by sheer blind panic on Christmas Eve when I realise I've either bought entirely the wrong thing or duplicated something I bought a couple of years ago instead; followed by a mad dash to the shops to join the last-minute rush. I hate bloody Christmas, bah humbug.

So, Norwich City, at home, for the second time this season. They gave us a bit of a thrashing in August, in the 1st round of the League Cup, so it will be instructive as well as fascinating, not to mention possibly painful, to see if they can do it again. The bookies don't give much for our chances, for what that's worth. A home win is a 10/3 shot, the draw is priced at 5/2 and a Norwich win the odds-on favourite at 5/6. I suppose the sensible bet is the away win, but how can any Glovers fan resist 10/3 for a home win? Not this one at any rate, and that's where my fiver's going this week. Running total: Back in the black! +£4.50p.

Team selection: Will Skivo keep faith with the diamond formation which picked up a very useful point at MK Dons last week, or will he revert to the 4-4-1-1 that was effective at home right up until the defeat by Walsall? Will we see the return of wingers Andy Welsh and Scott Murray? Will he play 2 out-and-out strikers? I haven't a clue, and if us fans can be kept guessing then presumably Norwich won't have much idea either. What we can be sure of is that after what seems like weeks of wet and windy weather, tomorrow's game will be played in calm, settled and cold conditions - which should suit our passing game. If I was in charge I would stick with the team and formation that played last week, with the possible exception of replacing Terrell Forbes with Stefan Stam at the back. Norwich are a big side and good in the air, and in my view Stam would be a safer bet than Forbes in dealing with that threat.

Let's hope we get a decent crowd in tomorrow. In this case I would say decent would be around 6,000. The weather's going to be okay, Norwich will surely bring their full allocation and it's the last home game before Christmas. If we can't attract 6,000-odd in those circumstances then something is surely very wrong.

Good news: Darren Way was spotted this week out jogging on the streets of Yeovil. From the brink of death to out jogging, who would bet against Weasel playing football at some level again at some point in the future, however impossible it may have seemed at one time? The man's an inspiration to us all.

Just read: The Girl Who Played With Fire by Stieg Larsson: Wonderful sequel to The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Another complex, gripping thriller set in Sweden and featuring one of the most unlikeliest yet compelling heroines in fiction. It's another long book, but I galloped through it in a couple of days, rarely putting it down. Can't wait to read the final part of the trilogy now, The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets' Nest.
