FOOTBALL

Round 5. Lucky, lucky Everton. Pickford should have been sent off and offside decision was a joke. But sometimes things go your way, and sometimes they don’t! And still top but the game showed that they may well not stay there for long. I hope their injured players recover quickly. Chelsea will need to sort out their defence. ManU look good against mid table and lower, I guess they will get better. ManC and Arsenal as expected really. Bristol City gutted to drop a couple of points. Wins for Sunderland, Plymouth and Forest Green. B.Rovers drew. A surprise loss by Swansea at home. Chelmsford City drew away, so ok. And then Aston Villa beat Leiceste3r away and Leeds lost to Wolves. All looking like an interesting season.

Round 3. The toffees stay top for now after a controversial win against Palace. The handball rule does seem harsh at times! ManU win in 10th minute of added on time with penalty after final whistle! Arsenal stuff Spurs 4-0 to reach WFA Cup with a couple of vintage goals. The Black Cats win at home over promotion rivals Peterborough. Gasheads bottom of League 1 whilst FGR mid-table after a draw away at Salford (ManU Old Boys?).

I get up at stupid o’clock and sort out the papers for the local shop by 6.30. So having done a Waitrose shop (I don’t care – I am middle class!), tomorrow I an going to treat myself to wholemeal sourdough toast with smoked salmon and avocado with a dash of lemon juice – maybe even a dash of chilli sauce to jerk me into consciousness and the day!

Covid-19 app.

I just downloaded the app. Very simple to do – once I had reset my forgotten apple password! It does not work on iPhone 6 or earlier.

Covid-19 latest

Forced into action by the 2 amigos (Whitty and Vallance) the PM announced that pubs will shut an hour earlier and will have to have table service. Apart from this there were no real changes except for him to state that if Covid is on the rise again it is the publics fault.

SIR KEIR STAMMER

Since becoming Labour leader he has done a Stirling job at PMQ’s, but more is needed. How is this incompetent and shoddy government still level with Labour in the polls? What is needed is a clearly defined and costed economic plan for the future of the country. Jeremy Corbyn’s ideas were widely approved of,
