when skies are grey

 

Everton 0 Chelski 1

 

Thought I’d have a go at this match reporting lark - well me Dad and Jody are always going on about it so here it is from a feline’s purr-spective.

 

Had to watch it on the tele but apparently it was live (not like the mouse I caught the other day …. Yumm). Some bloke called Skinny dropped round to watch the match with me Mum and Jody (JC after a free tea again no doubt), but once again my bowl was empty.  Dad was off on a jolly in France, something about work, helicopters and ships, beats me what he does but always seems to be doing something exciting.

 

So 8-o-clock kick off on Sky, Skinny had the favourite spot to watch the telly and Jody tucking into his nosh, the one’s in Blue started the better and those in ‘really bright ginger’ seemed a bit more composed.

 

Skinny and Jody were moaning already- seems Everton had lost their confidence since some Italians had knocked them out of the cup.

 

Manny went within a whisker of scoring with what seemed to be a purrrrfect free kick but some Cech bloke in a funny hat pushed the ball around the post with his paw, unfortunately.

 

Their goal was a tad lucky but the passing moves before it reminded me of the local street moggies chasing birds - slick, patient and timely although the final finish that put the ball passed Tim was fortunate.

 

Skinny and Jody where being catty about Neville and Carsley - that they couldn’t work together and that we seemed to lack the hunting instinct without Mikel and Pienaar. (Although the South African was playing he was injured in the second half).

We were certainly better in the second half and maybe could have got a draw if the Yak and AJ understood each other better but in the end it was another defeat. The confidence seems to have gone with no one fearing us anymore, which from the boys in the room seems to be a bit of a worry.

 

One final thing I heard is that Skinny is currently leading the balancing a can on your head contest. Apparently on the flight home from Italy he balanced a can of red-shite ale on his head for 2 minutes 35 seconds. Well Skinny, recently, in front of Tom, I managed to balance a can of Tetley’s for 3 minutes 15 seconds bet ya can’t beat that!!!
