There was a chance earlier this week I could have picked up a spare ticket for the Chelsea - Bolton match and while I didn’t go, because my friend with the ticket did the math and made the right decision and sold it for large amounts of profit, but it still made me deliberate the following point; in aforementioned football match, who do you support?
On the one hand, one team is Chelsea and run by José Mourinho, on the other hand one team is Bolton and run by Sam Allardyce. Neither the nicest men, or the most wonderful teams. And then if Chelsea won, they might win the premiership, but then if Bolton won they might knock Arsenal off fourth position.
In the end, I decided to hope for a draw, preferably one that ended with a very bad dive by a Bolton player, a penalty and a drawing level. That way you could get to see Sam Allardyce try to defend his team’s actions and Mourinho throwing a hissy fit. Alas, no penalties, but it did end in a draw, and so the Premiership is safe for another weekend.
In other good news, Ipswich have to draw to beat Norwich in the Championship, making them the best team ever.
And that’s enough mention of football on this website to last until this time next year, where I shall be regaling everyone with the tale of how Ipswich have been promoted by a guaranteed 10 points. As I look forward to doing every year.
You have two options in expressing yourself publicly on this site. If you have a new fangled blog type website (like this one) you can write what you want to say on your own site and link to this entry. I'll register that you've written something about it and provide a link to it below (this is called a trackback). If you don't have a website or just don't want to waste its time with me then you can add a good old fashioned comment. Fill in the blanks and press go to make your opinion heard among handfuls!
A few lines need to be said here. I'm currently a youth worker, therefore I have to watch how I interact with young people. Therefore if you're a young person whom I know through work you need to ask your parents permission to comment on this. That sucks I know, but it gives you something other than voting and drinking to look forward to when you hit eighteen.
