Welcome one and all to another ice blog ice cast on ice blog dot com in association

with oleole.com. We're well and truly into the close season now. All the football is over

more or less, unless you're going to follow the Spanish League, Champions League finals over in

Dartmouth, there's nothing going on at all. So what I'm going to do for the rest of the summer

in order to make the ice cast sort of around the same sort of length as they've always been,

I'm going to talk really, really slowly, you know, like one of those 18, 19 numbers that you

bring up and they give you like betting tips and things like that and they take ages to tell

you what's going on because it cost two pounds, 50 a minute. I actually did one of those things

years ago when we were at a radio station here in Dublin and we were at a pirate radio station,

but we set up this competition line where you could win a prize that just simply did not exist.

And so we got one of those telephone numbers, it cost 2.99 I think a minute or something to ring

up. So I had to go out and do the voiceover thing and the quiz question. So who is the member

of Aha, whose name begins with M, is it Martin Mickey Maximilian or more 10. And that's

what I'm going to do for the rest of the ice cast between now and the start of the new season.

We're just going to have lots and lots of slow talking stuff. Now I'm really going to work isn't

as I've just told you how it's all done. On the way in this particular ice cast, we have got

around the table sort of a blog chat with hopefully now because I'm recording this bit before I record

the bit with the lads. Gilberto Silver from Gunnar blog, the man from me slower and good player

from GoodPlayer.com and we'll be discussing the season past and where we've gone wrong and

sort of a season review thing and what needs to be done between now and the start of next season

in order for us to become competitive again as well as at the man in the bar is here and there's

a couple of other little bits and pieces, a little interview with Arsene Venger is in there as well
