Well, after a great win against the New England Revolution on saturday  i was up early in the studio with ‘The Score’ to comment and watch the final league games in the premiership. After seeing all the nerve jangling faces on the fans who’s teams were involved with the relegation fight, it brought back many memories from previous years playing in England. Its a very exciting day on the last day, but only if your team are going for Europe, promotion or highest league finish in club history. Not if your team are in danger of being demoted a league.  

After that , i had to rush up to Adventure Valley where i was involved with The Childhood Cancer Foundation’s fun day ‘KICK, CUT, CARE’ . This was something i wanted to be involved with after being introduced to Mary Lye(Organizer) by one of the families who attended my soccer school. After a couple of meetings we came up with the idea of doing a fun day involving soccer and cutting hair to donate for young children’s wigs who are battling against cancer. To see the great turn out on the day was amazing and meeting all the different kids who had raised money was fantastic. A lot of people had put great effort into raising money in different ways through their schools, soccer teams or work place. Carl Robinson and Nana Attakora kindly came out to support the cause and kids loved meeting them as well. In2sports supplied all the soccer specific equipment for the day and TFC TV came down to shoot some footage. There were lots of TFC supporters that came down and mingled with the players and families and everyone had a great time. All in all, we raised over $40,ooo from everyone involved  and i can’t thank enough all these kind donations and everyone involved in making this day a fantastic success.

Now, i might get a lot of stick for this, Especially from all my mates in West London who are avid Chelsea fans. But there is something that really winds me up about Mr.Drogba. Undoubtedly he is a player who has great talent and an eye for goal, but its his shenannigans on the pitch(and off) that really do my head in. Last night it really hit home what he is all about and by this i am not only discussing his final whistle tantrum. As a big strong powerful boy that he is, i’ve never witnessed such theatrical acting as i did last night. This happens week in week out in the premiership and now surely the referee’s are starting to catch wind. Could you imagine the likes of Alan Shearer , Les Ferdinand or the now Sky Soccer commentator Andy Gray trying this sort of behaviour! At times(especially last night) it was similar to when you see a kid in a toy shop and their parents have told them they cant buy that special toy and the kid throws themselves on the floor in disgust ala Drogba himself after the referee turning down a decision. I also understand that last nights game was of huge significance and importance , but did you see Anelka, Lampard even Eto or Messi who were chasing the game diving around like babies. Another question i would like to ask is ” Was he really injured? “. Why i ask this is because just before he went off he missed a great opportunity to score the 2nd and most probably decisive goal for chelsea. He also had another couple of runs in and around the box, but the defender(Toure) was starting to out muscle him and get great tackles in. He then got supposedly injured on a play, stayed down for a bit and moments later was charging down the keeper at full speed. What really got me wondering though was his after the final whistle antics. Now if he was really injured and could not muscle on for his team in undoubtedly their biggest game of the season, why on earth was he bounding around like a wild stallion shouting and waving his arms? Then after his team-mates(some of whom were rather embarrassed) ushered him off the pitch, he started to declare ” it is over “. For you Didier ,it might just be that as i think people are starting to see the real truth that you are not a team player but just a big Primadonna.
