First off, the trip down was fantastic - like old times on the Marchants bus, stopping for a couple of hours for drinks. Deep down I knew this would be the best part of the day and I wasn't wrong.
Aged 4 years and 11 months Daniel was a very lucky boy and got to see Wembley Stadium - as expected, parts of it passed him by but he did sing along at times and was really well behaved.
The game went as expected, we huffed and puffed but ultimately fell short in quality. The penalty we weren't given was a disgrace - Howard Webb should be strung up for that - but honestly, even possibly 1-0 up I don't think we would have won. Once they scored I knew the game was up - I don't think we seriously tested Cech at all.
Without wanting to single anyone out, Stuart Downing was abysmal for us, offering nothing and looking like the very average player I always thought he was at Boro.

UFC 112
Anyway, Stuart Downing wasn't the only major disappointment. On returning to watch UFC 112 I had to suffer the misfortune of watching Anderson Silva defend his belt against Demian Maia. For two round he showed a total lack of class and respect as he fought hands down, chin up, taunting Maia at every opportunity.
Then he just stopped fighting. It was pathetic. No wonder the entire crowd booed him - it was a complete joke and made a mockery of the UFC and MMA. I hope Georges St Pierre gets his hands on Silva and makes him pay for that disgraceful display.
At least Dana White was honest....
