An eventful weekend of football in particular 2 matches on Saturday. It was the Liverpool derby and Liverpool beat Everton 3-1. The game finished with 10 players on each time after Gerrard and Van der Meyde got sent off (seperate incidents). The game had 7 yellow cards and 2 red cards. I think the Liverpool derby is the fixture which gets the most bookings and/or red cards. It wasnt really a dirty game that justified that many cards.
The Chelsea v Man City game will be remembered for Drogba’s cheating. His first goal was pretty good but his 2nd he hand-balled it in. His dive was ridiculous. I got caught slightly in the face but then a couple seconds later fell over and rolled over a few times.
In the post match interview he admitted he dived.He then quickly changed his mind and said he didnt dive. Possibly he said it wrong cause his english isnt that good but hes still a cheat.
“Sometimes I dive, sometimes I stand. But I don’t care about this. In football you can’t stay up all the time…I don’t dive, I play my game. If they are not happy with this and don’t want me to play, I don’t play.”
Chelsea’s Didier Drogba on his performance against Manchester City.
Distin got yellow card for arguing and then got another yellow card at half time when he went up to the ref to ask him why he was booked before and all about Drogba handballing the ball into the net. Distin sent off for not giving ball back. Shame on you Rob Styles!
United played Birmingham on Sunday and won very easily 3-0. It could easily of been a lot more.
The following day I played football myself. I was pretty tired after going out the previous night for a few drinks to celebrate my birthday. Unfortunately I managed to twist my ankle after blocking a shot. The ball hit my right ankle and twisted it back. I couldnt really play the rest of the training. I got home and put some ice on it. It had swollen up. Its now 2 days later and its still abit swollen and can see brusing but its getting better 
I have taken 2 days working from home so I didnt have to walk on it as much as possible. Yesterday I couldnt really walk on it but it seems better now. My research on the net worked! (RICE – Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation).
