We now had about 45 minute break before Chelsea take on Manchester City in the Caribou Cup in Wembley and when we last played Manchester City a couple of weeks ago ‘boy they whipped our arse’ as they say here in America but Chelsea lost by six goals to none and so today would be rather telling for the players and Manager who is is under considerable pressure. Well the game did not turn out with Chelsea getting thrashed again and it was pretty even in the first half but in the second half and during extra time I think that Chelsea had the better play but not scoring any goals. And so to penalties, and Oh boy was their a fracas as the goalie Kepa who was suffering with cramp, how a a goalie get cramp I cant imagine, but he was to be ordered off by the Manager and he point blank refused. See the video as per link.
Kepa Refuses to leave the pitch
Well after this farce and the wonderful bloody Jorghino missed the first penalty, he should go this boy. But in the end we lost the penalty shoot out even with David Luiz missing and it is strange that it was Luiz who try to comfort Kepa during the fracas and so maybe he intended to miss?? who knows as in the past when you loose the dressing room, then you are in deep trouble. Lets see what happens over the next few days as Chelsea is due to play their nemesis Tottenham Hotspurs on Wednesday this week.
If you are asking how I can watch all this football is because with my Amazon TV Fire stick I downloaded two Apps, one from ESPN which does the European Champion ship and non Premier league football and Fubo ( A Spanish tv supplier) who does the Premier League, I have to pay for both but can stop paying when we leave the house but for Noel its good as he loves his football. Not sure if we will get to see the Formula One will check on that nearer the start date of the season.
In the evening we listed to Pandora a great music streaming station which does not operate in the UK anymore which is such a shame as I used to listen to it for hours. For dinner Jennifer made cod with a prawn sauce and home made fries, really great and then back to watch the last episode of Shetland.
Its been a little hot today we closed al the doors and windows and kept the aircon on which enable us to sleep better. Forgot to mention we both had a good swim during the day and the exercise help’s you relax and sleep.
Oh well a busy day ahead tomorrow with swimming and BBQ planned for tomorrow night.
One last comment about Brexit…
In the USA they are saying that if the papers keep on saying the same thing that people will begin to believe it like Trump is a Russian Spy, Yep that's what some of the population think, because the Democratic guided newspapers keep printing it. Its the same in the UK, if you say the same thing about the peoples view that they want to change their vote people begin to believe this is correct irrespective of whether its true or not. Just like the a nod deal Brexit will make the English Channel run dry and the River Thames turn blue and all the space junk will return to earth on Southall, if you say this enough there is a large percentage of people who would believe it. If you said that if we stay in the EU then the Government cannot afford to pay our pensions but if we leave then they can and increase them by 50% then people would vote for Brexit. None of these Facts? are of course correct but that is what the current press is all about today including the BBC. The Press does not report news IT MAKES IT UP
