In case you don't understand my title,just think of what the name often given to the 26th of December;Boxing Day.And if you don't understand the soccer reference, well,just read on!
Last year,Chelsea football club won the premiership cup for thier league.This year,they have been residing in the bottom third of the ladder.This failure has ended in the sacking of the manager.Have you ever heard of watford football club?No,I didn't think so.It was exactly them that Chelsea would be playing at Chelsea's home ground, Stanford bridge.
Me and Rafferty in front of the sign announcing our arrival.And yes,those are earmuffs on Rafferty.On a 7 degree day!
But,as we had the chance to visit the museum we went in there and had a very long (We had hours until the game started)look around.It had very nice exibhits but I don't think there were enough because I had to keep on looking at the same things.But,later,The official there announced that 3 extremely famous soccer legends which had played at Chelsea were going to be making a little show in the sort of cinema room.So,me among many others including my dad and raff went in and once everyone settled in the official introduced Mr Ron 'chopper' Harris and the other two I forgot,unfortunately be cause to me the other two seemed like nicer and funnier people.
But,then the time came to enter the stadium and go to our seats which were much better than those at the MCG or any other sporting ground I've been to.Then it started.The game was very intense and I was actually glad to be at the real game,not just seeing it from the TV like with AFL in Australia.It just was a better game and expierance.So,this just goes to show that soccer is better than AFL by FAR!In the end however,watford 2,Chelsea 2.Yes,it was a draw.Which means that the Chelsea turnaround from winner to loser is genuine indeed.
After the game we went to one of Kates many friends houses and spend the rest of the evening there.
See you next time;Remus Brasier out
