THIS WEEK felt very weird as it was actually game week, something we haven’t had in a while.
Two months to be precise.
There’s always a certain buzz about the place when you know you have a game to look forward to come the weekend.
Although game week also means no fitness sessions, which I’m sure also has something to do with it.
I’ll leave that for you to decide…
You are in for treat this weekend.
We are involved in a double header fixture. Chelsea play London Bees at 2pm and our game will be kicking off at 5pm straight after.
Two for the price of one, you can’t go wrong.
Apparently that’s why mums go to Iceland… Too soon? I couldn’t resist.
Training this week has been great and preparations for the game are going really well.
We have already played Arsenal twice this season and have just come up short on both occasions.
I know people like to say third time lucky but you make your own luck in this game.
The shift we’ve put in over the period of the mid-season break will stand us in good stead for the remainder of the season.
We are all very much looking forward to the game and putting on a winning performance.
There were a few shocks in the Euros this week. Spain getting knocked out by the Italians, Wales making it through to the quarters and Belgium actually turning up for once on the big stage.
Oh and Iceland didn’t do too badly either, I suppose.
Italy are looking very strong this tournament, Germany look strong every tournament but I’m going to stick to my guns and back Belgium to go all the way.
Public apology to my Welsh team-mates, I hope you don’t take it to heart. We didn’t when you celebrated Iceland’s victory.
You may or may not have noticed that I have failed to mention England as I am completely lost for words.
So if you fancy a whole day of watching football this weekend get yourself down to The Hive on Saturday for the double header.
If not, just come at 5pm, I’m sure the other teams wont mind.
