Scribblings from the Mitchy Side

Went to watch Stevenage v. Chesterfield yesterday. Not a bad game, although Stevenage have apparently decided that they can't start playing football until they go two goals down. This was exactly like the Huddersfield game I saw last week, Stevenage went 0-2 down before clawing back to draw 2-2. Could have won it, probably should have, Chesterfield are not a good side and are in danger of being relagated. These are the teams Stevenage need to beat if they want to get in the playoffs.

Today, Leeds Utd are on tv, the BBC are showing their game at Middlesborough (dunno why, seems an odd game to be selected, it's not particularly special but I'm always happy to be able to watch my team). After that

GOALLLLL!! *boogies on down*

*cough* As I was saying, after that it's France v. England. I've convinced the cat that it would be smart if he curled up somewhere far away from me for the duration.

(He still hasn't slept in his igloo bed since I washed it, although he allllmost went in it earlier. Something about the smell is putting him off. I might dig out a couple of his old cat blankets and stick them in there, see if that helps.)

In honour of the England v. Wales Six Nations game today, I am sampling the first of the four ciders I brought back from The Essex Cider Shop.

Cornish Orchards Blush Cider
Cider with raspberries.

OH YUM!

Crisp, not too sweet, got a bit of a kick *checks* only 4.5% alcohol by volume though so could be worse. Yes, I like this. This would be a great summertime drink and would go well with a ploughman's lunch :)

(Rugby Report - too close to call :P)

(Why do I not have a "OH TACKLE HIM YOU EFFING PRAWNS!!" icon? :P)

It's that time of year when I start yelling things like "OH TACKLE HIM YOU PATHETIC PRAWN!!" and Rob the Furball files complaints with the RSPCA. Currently watching Scotland v. England, mostly between my fingers. Not a pretty game at all. Currently England have a very slender lead that I'm not confident they can keep.

In other sports related news, I was so out of the loop during the week, I only just found out that Leeds Utd have sacked their manager, Simon Grayson. It's ridiculous. He actually had a winning record with the club and we're only just off the play off places. There's talk that Neil Warnock will be hired. Oh dear gods NO! I HATE him! It's true he's one of the best Championship managers out there but I still don't like him. I want a guy who can get us out of the Championship and do well in the Premiership and that's NOT Warnock. Blech.
