I came home last night at 10.45 having taped the Europa final.
And I was also taping the highlights on ITV.
I said, “Don’t tell me the score. I might watch the whole match.”
But, after a hectic working day and a fun evening at the Ju-Ju Club, a new venue for Book Slam, I was too tired to watch the whole game.
So I watched the highlights…. and there were none.
Maybe Jose Mourinho went to Old Trafford to become a Red Devil, to acquire a bit of swagger and style.
But that hasn’t happened yet.
It was same old belt-and-braces football.
United won 2-0 but they are still boring to watch.
I would have sent Mata off for that tackle because he missed the ball by six yards.
The ref gave him a yellow because he’s not a malicious player.
Ryan Giggs would have made that tackle.
Ajax could do something next season.But they need three experienced players.
VERDICT: Glad I missed it.
PS. Aussie compere-comedienne Felicity Ward was hilarious last night and we had a chat in the intermission.
When she said, “I used to live in Crouch End,” my reply was “I used to live in Rokesly Avenue!”
