I was going to do a music post this weekend but I’ll put that on hold for a couple of days other than link you to a interesting new music website which has reviewed the new Delphic album (which I thought I might cover); perhaps the first much-anticipated indie album of 2010. As I say, I will come back to this and to a new comment from a previous post from a Mr David Smith (no relation…)
Instead; a thank you to some very good and old friends of mine who are season ticket holders at Chelsea. Knowing I am a life-long (born and bred) Sunderland fan, they kindly invited me to go to the match yesterday. After a pretty horrible drive, we got to Stamford Bridge just in time for kick-off. Within 18 minutes it was 3-0 to Chelsea; and although Sunderland scored twice, the end result was 7-2 and frankly it could have been 12 or 13. Chelsea were stunning, Sunderland were…not stunning. (For any US readers, a 7 – 2 deafet in soccer is equiavlanet to about 56 – 16 in American Football).
That’s the first time in about 3 years I’ve actually seem my team live. Am I a bad omen? I always felt I was back in the days I saw them more regularly. My friends have invited me back though. As their daughter said “I’ve never seen Chelsea score 7 before. Can you come every week? In fact, can we play your team every week?”
Thanks a lot, Emily!

Did you have a good view of the Ashley Cole goal? Arguably the best three touch finish since Bergkamp against Argentina at the World Cup a few years back.
Don’t worry about being a bad omen, I go to watch Ipswich about once a season and haven’t seen them win for about four years. This year’s appearance lived up to its billing, 4-0 down by half time.
