Another two draws to make that five in a row. Twenty-two shots without a goal in the Burnley stalemate but a much more evenrful and exciting game on Friday night against the rejuvenated Manchester United. 0-0 at half-time thanks to a few solid saves from Petrovic. The second half really caught fire with the three penalty decisions, two of which were given.

Nice to see VAR go our way on a 50/50 chance, especially after we drew 1-1 and had it gone the other way, we would've potentially been 2-0 down.

A great team performance with substitutions having an impact on top of Alex Scott pulling strings as usual in the centre of the park. His performances this season have been superb and I was hugely surprised to not see him included in the England squad for the upcoming fixtures.
All Alex can do is keep performing, improving and he still has a chance of making the World Cup this summer. Very happy to see my friend and former Cherry Aaron Ramsdale back in the national squad though. The World Cup is fast approaching.

Remember when I used to play padel? Well, I am playing again this week against the legend that is Tubes and his padel partner, a man who was one of the greatest faithfuls I have ever seen on BBC's Traitors, a face that has been everywhere since and apparently he was alright at rugby too. None other than Joe Marler. Joe was known for winding people up on the rugby pitch, so I plan on having some fun with him on the padel court and seeing if I can get inside his head. All will be eventually revealed on their Big Smash Padel YouTube and social media channels.
Boxing. We. Are. Close. I am hoping to have news for you very soon as we are in the final stages of negotiations. I have been staying ready and now I ask you to do the same. Be ready for an announcement in the coming weeks. I can't give too much away BUT! If we get the desired date, deal and venue we are currently talking about then let's just say, I think we will ALL be very happy.
Have a great week everybody. Enjoy the sunny weather!
