My daughter is evil. She knows I do not like to know the football scores before watching Match of the Day. I did not watch the game last night but I knew that Arsenal was 2-0 up at half time when I accidentally saw the scores when looking at social media. But my daughter later told me yesterday that the score was 3-0 before it ended, which stressed me out as I know that Arsenal have thrown away leads like that in the past, examples being against Wigan in 2010 and against Newcastle in 2011. I still watched it, and yes, we went 3-0 up. And then Chelski scored. I said many rude words about her. So when Chelski got a penalty, my heart was in my mouth. We still won, and Chelski did make it easier for us, possibly because they thought that three points were guaranteed. To be fair, I thought that they were to win as well. Anyway, after watching it in the morning, I confronted her about this and she laughed. I have done similar in the past to others I know, about things like Game of Thrones (one of my friends at work watched the seventh series as a box set and I may have convinced her that something that did not happen did).
On a different note, I had hoped that we were all to go for a walk as a family. We had agreed that, but my son changed his mind, because he was asked to zip up his hoodie. I was disappointed. Leia would have loved us all going for a walk, but I don’t know when we will be able to go for a walk together. The weather was amazing when my wife daughter and I took Leia out. It had been raining before which influenced our choice of destination. Leia got to meet other dogs and we all bonded.
We did bond as a family later though, playing Pointless. We played two rounds, and it was fun. This is a game I definitely will want us all to play again. Maybe tomorrow...
Alan Shearer said - "a week or two ago" - he thought Arsenal might get relegated...
