Apologies about the lack of posting yesterday, a very late return to Devon, for a very tired father and son, meant that it was just a case of 'lock up and bed down' last night.
I took my son Cameron to Wembley yesterday to see the 'Community Shield'( although we all still call it 'Charity Shield' ). I have to say that, for both of us, it was nice to be approaching Wembley stress free for a change !. On to the game and, in the 'Cliche' world of football, it certainly was a 'story' of two halves. Man Utd dominated the first, Chelsea the second. The biggest surprises of the day though were that of Man Utd getting a late equaliser, and of Didier Drogba getting abused each time he 'went down' after every aerial challenge ( that he lost ). You may be saying "What are you talking about he always gets abused" , and to that I say, yes he does, but this time it was from the Chelsea fans !!!!!.
Cam was obviously delighted that Chelsea won, after seeing them lose last years semi final in the last minute, and the final the year before that on penalties, he was really fearing the worst !. To celebrate the win ( and to kill time before the 9 p.m train ! ) we took the tube into Covent Garden for a bite to eat and to take in a few shows ( street entertainer's! ). The food was good and the acts even better, a half naked Aussie juggler, laid on a bed of nails and suspended fifteen feet in the air definitely deserved a clap!.
After being squashed into numerous red hot tube train's, walking ten's of miles, and spending a small fortune I was relieved to be home. Added to the fact that I had a bit of whiplash after Saturdays game ( spiking incident ), and that the Black cab driver at the station decided the best speed to go on the way back was 17 mph, and that the best route to go was past his mate's Dave's house, I was almost whimpering up into bed.
All in all a good day but, am I being greedy, if I do return there I would prefer to return as a player !!.
