Last night and early morning of Winter Olympics. One big event of the year will be out of the way with 109 days to go to the next.
In between skating and skiing, and bobsleighing and curling, there was good old fashioned football on today. Although "good" and "old fashioned" is a massive exaggeration when it comes to the aberration of a football match that was Watford vs Everton. Old fashioned football would include players who cared about what they were doing and would put some effort into it. There wasn't even a bad tackle. The first half was so terrible that I could not turn it off. The fascination with how 22 players could be so incredibly bad at what they do kept me tuned in to see if they could be any worse. Or, I was asleep with my eyes open and couldn't find the remote.
Aston Villa won again, a come from behind 4-2 win at Sheffield Wednesday. Last 10 matches: won 8, drew 1, lost 1. But so competitive is the Championship that that one defeat means they have dropped to third.
The IOC announced tonight that the Russians at the Olympics will not be allowed to call themselves Russians at the closing ceremony. There were two positive doping tests so far. Both were Olympic Athletes from Russia. Or, because they were caught, can we call them Russian?
