Anyway I’m going to fully enjoy Thursday and lap it up. Actually really looking forward to and want to savour as much as I can before we play fucking Charlton next season in a 1230 KO.
Talking of cunts, at Notts last night Richard Keogh was in the away dug out, although he's a tricky one because whilst I disagree with his drink driving policies I agree very strongly with his talking £2.3m for nowt off (of) Derby policy. In other RK news he still has the expression of someone who's having their intestines pulled out through their japs eye.
We have decided to actively promote the magic of the cup. So we've got a bunch of kids currently researching into, and choosing to follow, a bunch of no mark clubs in the current round of the FA Cup. They will then play 'winner stays on' subsequently following the winning side of each tie....until the final where it will be interesting to see how many are on either team.
Apparently the kids are getting quite into it...and these are kids who are not interested in football.
Which is interesting in itself, regarding the psychology of 'following' football.
Some people do that by picking a side in the earliest round and watching them until they get knocked out, once they are knocked out they watch the team that beat them etc all the way to the final.
Chelsea ticket prices row...
Includes the line...
The Chelsea Supporters' Trust (CST) highlighted that ticket prices for the Benfica match, which started at £66, represent a 77.5% increase on last season's Conference League semi-final against Djurgarden.
Makes our £70 tickets seem like a bargain...
(I realise that's the top price and our tickets start at £50 for adults (despite the ever-so-honest and transparent club saying they start at £40 - that's the senior price))
I hope Tricky isn't watching Bournemouth v Fulham. Not only are Fulham all dressed as goalkeepers, but the Bournemouth keeper is wearing a purple strip that looks very similar to the rest of the team's black and red stripes. It's modern football anarchy, I tell you.
If he is watching though he'll have enjoyed the absolute worldy that Kluivert just scored.
Funny you should say that....had a passing look at all the turgid bits while I was working on something else, then went to clean the kitchen, and make a sandwich. Missed all the goals, one way or another.
I refuse to believe that there were any, what with all those goalkeepers on the pitch.
