Their lack of self-awareness and air of self entitlement is mind blowing. This from a club that has enjoyed immense success because of the billions in their owner’s coffers that he stole from the Russian people. Their supreme indifference to Middlesbrough's fans and income is all of a piece with the rest of it. Sheep2's excellent post about the widespread corruption highlighted the fact that it's a matter of degree. Perhaps this is s much a result of the huge amounts of money floating around. But I believe that the lack of morality permeates nearly all professional sport, including amateur sports where benefits and payments in kind are rife. For example, Rugby Union has slowly sunk into the morass... I hate the way that the acceptance of the professional foul, the play-acting is very rarely challenged. Even referees are unconsciously feeding this by scaling their reaction to a foul, not by the intent but by the apparent severity of the injury. I strongly feel that the punishment for theatrical performances exaggerating the impact of a real or imagined foul, as well as crowding / encouraging the referee to influence a decision should be treated as seriously as the physical assaults masquerading as tackles. It corrupts the playing of the game and all involved. But I am probably in the minority. |

So Chelski requested that the quarter final FA Cup tie against Boro be played behind closed doors based on the principle of "sporting integrity". Laughable and bizarre. As Steve Gibson said: "Chelsea and sporting integrity do not belong in the same sentence" Sensibly they have now withdrawn the request. I heard a significant proportion of Boro fans supported the suggestion. |

He's scored 1 goal in his professional career. He's on the subs bench tonight so, who knows, he may get the chance to improve on that record. |

Today seemed the right time to take the piss out of Boro, as it may well be substantially less easy to after tonight. I'm not at the match, I'm doing free babysitting. Or "Looking after the fucking children who you're a fucking parent to!" as the Mammal Who Tolerates Me refers to it in her bizarrely inaccurately way. Also it appears to be the two year anniversary since the one child's father gave up trying to be my rival, so it didn't seem quite right to leave it babysitting its younger sibling for most of the evening, as MWTM is working. |

No need for Boyd-Munce.
We've put one in for Boro early doors just to avoid him scoring.

40hrs Level 43 Just 2 story big bosses down Depending on how good, or not, the footy is later, I might try and seek out Clifford the big boss #3 Good lord man. I've been playing about 13 hours. Not sure what level I am. Stength is 27. I'm thinking I might respec at some point (as Felice said he has done) because I think I've gone too 'Jack of all trades'. I'm not sure, but I'm like the useful 'utility man' in the team who can cover for a few positions but hasn't really got one of his own. The James Milner of Elden Ring. Not logged in at the moment as I'm watching the footer, but I'm something like (only showing stats I've upgraded): End 26 Vig 22 Dex 20 Str 20 Faith 10 Will check later, I'm thinking maybe going full Dexy Dexter from Houston Dexas. |

I have a blue house
With a blue window
Blue is the colour of all that I wear
Blue are the streets
And all the trees are too
I have a girlfriend and she is so blue
I'm blue
Da ba dee da ba di
Da ba dee da ba di
Da ba dee da ba di
Da ba dee da ba di
Da ba dee da ba di
Da ba dee da ba di
Da ba dee da ba di
I'm blue
Da ba dee da ba di
Da ba dee da ba di
Da ba dee da ba di
Da ba dee da ba di
Da ba dee da ba di
Da ba dee da ba di
Da ba dee da ba di
What are we doing?

Apparently there's a group of the England Women Cricket Team out in NZ who play Fortnite together. That's reminiscent of the 2018 Men's World Cup team when Deli Ali boasted that he was the best ...
I might just listen to them dropping catches (and missing sundry other chances)...
BBC: England have the opportunity to do something "incredible" to salvage their defence of the Women's World Cup, says wicketkeeper Amy Jones.
The 2017 champions have lost their opening three games and must win their next four to have hope of reaching the semi-finals.
...but I think that I am more likely to sleep after this afternoon's incompetent, surly, rude and uncaring bitch nurse mangled my dressings.
