Midweek Carabao Action!

I'm marooned at work this afternoon doing some virtual office hours, but I'm taking a sneaky peek at the Leicester v. Arsenal match on the Plus. If you're around and watching, drop on by for a natter, eh?

Doing alright, mate. Busy week. I've somehow gotten entangled in a Workers Comp claim by my former secretary. I was deposed earlier in the week and now have to give testimony on her behalf at a formal hearing tomorrow. It's taking up a lot of my time!

It's really weird not to have the fake crowd noise tonight. Just the sound of boot on ball and the random shouting from players and coaches.

3:20 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

YIKES! Sorry to read about that. Doesn't sound like a lot of fun. Hopes this gets resolved soon.
