Midweek filler

Hello People!

So Chelsea tried to appeal the red card giving to Thibault Courtois on the grounds of wrongful dismissal which the FA correctly rejected. I really don't understand how they could possibly appeal, it was the correct decision from the referee. Chelsea fans have come out and said that Gary Cahill was covering and would have got there is a load of rubbish if you ask me. Could you imagine if it was Hazard who would have been brought down, not hard to I suppose as he spends a lot of the time rolling around on the floor.

Another thing that has come out is Eva Carneiro has been banned by Jose Mourinho from sitting on the bench on match days because she entered the pitch to treat the "injured" Eden Hazard. I have a problem with this, her job is to make sure that the Chelsea players are safe and if she feels that a player needs some kind of medical attention then she has every right to enter the pitch. Jose has come out and said that they were down to 8 outfield players against a counter attack. I think Jose Mourinho should just concentrate on trying to pick a winning side and leave the medical side to the people who actually know what they are doing.

In other news Stoke have signed Xherdan Shakiri from Inter Milan for a club record fee of £12 million, so now they have Champions League winners in there ranks than any other team in the Premier league. They are building quite a good side with some quality players which is kind of bizarre as we are used to seeing them hoof the ball up top to Peter Crouch or Jon Walters and bully their way to goal but things seem to be changing at The Britannia.

Last night was the Super Cup between Champions League winners Barcelona against Europa League champions Sevilla and what a cracking game of football with rubbish defending and some good goals. If you get the chance to see either or both of Lionel Messi's free kicks they are gems especially the second one!

Right that is it for now and I shall be back on Friday for the preview of the weekend. Laters!
