Come on you Boro

Sorry my blogs are starting to become as inconsistent as Chelsea but I am back (unlike Jose Mourinho who looks set to sign a new contract with Real Madrid. This blog is going to focus on my local team Stevenage and their game against Chesterfield.

I was at the game on Saturday against Chesterfield in which we came from 2-0 down to draw 2-2. It was the exact outcome in our last home game against Huddersfield (I was at that one as well). The game was as the cliché goes a game of two halves or as Stevenage manager, Gary Smith, put it a Jekyll and Hyde performance. The first half was the worst half of football I had seen in a while and that is coming from a Chelsea fan. We started with two debutants Jordan Slew and Patrick Agyeman. Both seem to struggle playing together and every time we got the ball it has a kick up field to the strikers. We were not playing the way we were use to.

The second half performance was a lot different. We brought on Reid, Beardsley and Charles and looked a stronger team. Two goals from Laird and Reid secured a much needed point, especially as Notts County and Carlisle picked up points. It was our third draw in a row and with a busy fixtures list ahead of us; playoffs don’t seem likely, like they did a couple of weeks ago.

Up next for Boro is a home fixture against Oldham. Hopefully it will be third time lucky and this game will go ahead as Snow and our F.A cup campaign prevented this in the past. I think that fatigue will get the better of us and my prediction is 1-0 Oldham.

Young Suarez - Manchester City vs Aston Villa

Just found this video. Not sure whether this had anything to with the Suarez/ Evra incident on Saturday, but this was from the game the following day. I found it funny at first before realising that people are easily influenced by footballers. Hopefully young children don't follow the likes of Balotelli.

Suarez vs Evra: Back to Square One

Hey, me again. It has been other week in sport and a lot of talking points. I’m here to give my opinion on what I have seen this week. Enjoy

I’m sure you know what I am going to start with. I will give you a clue it was in the Liverpool/ Manchester United game. Yes it is the handshake situation between Suarez and Evra. Firstly I will say it shouldn’t have gone ahead given the history of the two players. It was the first time the two had met again since Suarez racially abused Evra back in October. Suarez refused to shake Evra’s hand despite saying he would to his own club. Evra reacted angrily and tensions grew throughout the game. Manchester United   ended up winning 2-1 with a Wayne Rooney double. Evra thought he had won the World Cup and made sure he celebrated in front of Suarez as he left the field. Daglish was angered in a post match interview and said Suarez was not to blame for his actions. He and Suarez have since apologised for their actions on Saturday. I don’t think that this will be the end of it but I just hope that John Terry sees this and thinks about his actions when Chelsea next play QPR again.

The Giants won the Superbowl after beating the Patriots 21-17. It was quite entertaining to watch especially as it was my first Superbowl (which I miraculously stayed awake for). I learnt quite a bit from the game and I can see a lot of tactics go into the game. For example how Bradshaw tried to stop himself scoring a touchdown in the forth quarter to run down time. It was another record breaking sport event as 111.3 or a third America’s population watched it. I'm sure that next year will be just as good. Hopefully the Chicago Bears will advance on this years performance
