Time has not been my friend this week. I've wanted to blog about so much (Degale vs Groves, the PGA Championship, tennis, darts, I could go on) but sadly, until I get paid for my musings on sport, that's just something that I'm going to have to live with.
One thing I will find time to write about though, is my opinion on the utter ridiculousness that was the sacking of Carlo Ancelotti on the last day of the season. Who in their right mind would want to manage Chelsea now? Yes the money is lovely, but you also spend a year of your life (more if you're lucky) walking with a metaphorical gun to your back. Nice. If Mr Abramovich knows so much, then why doesn't he just cut out the middle man and do the job himself? He may as well.
The standard of the league this year was hugely competitive and even with a bad run Chelsea managed to come 2nd. It's not just the wages that are ruining football, it's the lack of vision for the long haul. That, or there's a severe epidemic of amnesia amongst a select group of billionaires. (Chelsea did the double but last year for crying out loud!) Either way, it does not bode well for the sport and will only end in tears.
England Shmingland
I've been told by several people this week, that my supporting Barcelona in tonight's Champion's League Final is sick and wrong. Try as I might to be gracious about the situation, I just can't. I know that Utd are an English team but I really don't feel bad, they've achieved enough this season in my book. Winning tonight would just be greedy.
