Once again our arrogant approach to team selection picking players that are clearly past their best or out of their depth (Cameron Green) has come back to bite us. We got what we deserved and I’m glad England restored some pride after getting pounded in the press. At least I’ll be able to mention the cricket today while I’m strolling around Surrey 😃
What a bizarre day of cricket. Stayed up to watch the first hour then woke up with an hour to play and 14 wickets had fallen. They’ll ruin test cricket if they keep serving up pitches like that.
Apparently Claygate gets taken over by Morris dancers every Boxing Day. Pub crawl and live music. I’ll don my Hoops and see if I can get on the local news bulletin. That should p!ss off all the Chelsea fans around here 😃
Yep, lovely little town in Surrey called Claygate. I’m told there’s at least one other QPR fan here so hoping to meet him while I’m here. Was tempted to pop down to Portsmouth but will be watching at a local pub called the “Hare & Hounds” 😃
One of the best things about Leicester was goals for Saito, Dembele and Kone. You could see the confidence flowing into them and they will feel better with the monkey off their back. Scoring is a confidence thing and Dembele mentioned after the match that he was feeling relieved so it was obviously on his mind. More please 😉
Cooking a 2.5kg herb fed chicken and a Beef Wellington from the “Game Larder” in Claygate. Washed down with lots of Champagne - Lanson is this years choice. 🥂 Bit unusual for us this year as Christmas in Aus is prawns, Bugs, Lobster and 35 degrees
Merry Christmas to all my fellow Rs. 🥂 About 2 degrees here in Surrey but feels like much less. Makes a nice change from 35 degrees and storms back in Brisbane 🎄🎅🍺
Amid all the excitement I forgot to mention that I got to meet Paul Parker in the club shop before the game. Absolute gentleman and one of my favourites from that era. Great start to what ended up being an epic day. Also chatted to Esquirdinha while I was getting my daughter’s shirt printed. He was getting a shirt with his name on it and he said he has a slight hamstring issue but thought he’d be back soon. Nice lad obviously still struggling with English so I think he’ll come good once he’s more settled.
Was a perfect day for me and the family. Staying at Aragon House in Parson’s Green, great lunch at the Whitehorse then an almost flawless performance from the Rs. My wife who never liked football before said to me at half time “I get it now” My 2 kids now are Rs for life. I’m a happy man 😃
