Face off!
First off allow me to begin the first Just Football post of 2010 by saying a 'Happy New Year' to
you all. Here's hoping your year has got off to an infinitely better start than Gary Megson's.
Now, the first issue that needs resolving on here is our Pichichi poll from the back end of last
year.

SINGAPORE, 15 January 2010: The local football fraternity will come together for a good cause at
the 2010 S.League Charity Shield next Thursday as the Football Association of Singapore seeks to
raise funds for Singapore football legend Dollah Kassim, who has been in a coma since collapsing
during the 2009 Sultan of Selangor's Cup veterans match between Singapore and Selangor last
October.
Today is the two-year anniversary of this blog. 396 posts in two years, or a little over
every-other day. That's better than I expected to do. I'm not sure how many people out there are
still reading, but to those who are left, I hope I'm not boring you. ;)
Along with the anniversary news there was a bit of Rapids news today.
