Football Folly

There is some voodoo working on football. People are losing that really should not lose. In the Carling Cup Spurs, Everton, Chelsea, Bolton, Man City and Liverpool all went out within a couple of days of each other. Spurs lost to Arsenal (thank you very much) which is understandable and nothing to be downhearted about, but Chelsea lost to Newcastle, Everton lost to Brentford, Northampton beat Liverpool, West Brom beat Man City and Burnley beat Bolton. That's a lot of crazy results. I was really thinking Man U would go out to Scunthorpe (what a story that would be) but no such luck.

Onto the weekend and the madness continues into the Premiership. West Brom beat Arsenal 3-2 (nooooooo!) and Man City beat the so-far unbeatable Chelsea 1-0. Man U need to be beaten by Bolton today and I'll be convinced there's a hex afoot.

Just watched the Singapore F1 and once again, for the second week in a row, Hamilton crashed out due to over-zealous driving. He needs to go for it, obviously, and I actually like the fact that he pushes things and goes for what he wants seemingly no matter the consequences, but obviously consequences catch up with you eventually and he's finding that out the hard way. He needs to take a lesson from his driving partner, Jenson Button, and exercise a little caution. Who knows who's going to win now.

I'll keep you blogged...
