Month: October 2022

  • Week 137 – October 28th – Lords ballot

    Today I entered the ballot for tickets for Lords, originally I thought it was just a ballot to be at Lords, but then as I made my selection I realised you were actually putting yourself forward for seats at the ground on the day that you selected.

    Were see if I’m lucky to get tickets for the 1st day of the Ashes.

    Again it shows from a recent post, the difference in ticket prices, with the cheapest ticket for 1 day of the test v Ireland £25 a person and for the Ashes £125.

  • Week 137 – October 26th – The Black Robin

    Today, myself, Claire and her dad went to the “The Black Robin” pub and had a lunch, plus also to see if it was the right place for the wake after the cremation.

    The lunch was good and the service too, on looking at the room where the function could be held, it was decided this would be the location for the event.

    I can’t remember the last time I had been in a pub, it was before the pandemic had happened.

  • Week 136 – October 23rd – Covid19 autumn booster

    This morning I had my Covid19 autumn booster. It was very well organised and I had the Pfizer jab again.

    So I’ve now had 2 Astra Zeneca jabs and 2 Pfizer jabs. 

    Just the heavy arm and feeling nausea this time for a few hours.

    Stay safe out there.

  • Week 136 – October 20th – Leicester City v Leeds United

    Under-pressure Leeds boss Jesse Marsch was singled out for criticism by his own club’s fans as the West Yorkshire side slipped to a disappointing defeat at fellow strugglers Leicester.

    The visitors were booed off at half-time as they trailed to a Robin Koch own goal and a second 10 minutes before the break from Harvey Barnes, who extended his record of scoring every time he plays against Leeds to five Premier League games.

    Then, when Marsch replaced popular Colombian winger Luis Sinisterra with striker Joe Gelhardt 15 minutes from time, the visiting fans responded with more jeers and cries of ‘what is going on’.

    The final whistle brought more negative chants and American Marsch’s position is starting to look shaky.

    Leicester’s second win of the season was not enough to lift them out of the relegation zone, but it did move them to within a point of their 16th-placed opponents.

    Out-of-form Leeds are winless in seven and not picked up a point away from Elland Road since 13 August.

    We are definitely struggling again, the big problem is scoring again. We don’t want to be in another relegation battle again this season.

    We’re need some wins before the World Cup starts next month.

    League position 16th after 10 games – After 10 games last season, Leeds were 17th.
