How to have a relaxing Saturday, by Gunnerblog

I don’t know about you, but all this Carling Cup Final hype is making me nervous. My advice? Ignore the stories about Ashley Cole’s return to fitness, turn away from the hundredth set of quotes we’ve seen about Baptista wanting to stay with us, scoff at Kolo Toure’s assertion that we are stronger in the face of adversity, and glance over Theo Walcott’s past as a Chelsea ball boy.
Instead, why don’t you head down to the pub to cheer on Fulham in a 12.45 kickoff against Man U? Then come home, pop on the radio, or try and find a decent stream to watch West Ham and Charlton scrap it out to decide just who is the worse manager: Pardew or Curbishley.
Then at half five, put your feet up and watch a bit of egg-chasing, with England facing Ireland. It’s always good to watch England lose at any sport – there’s a cathartic bliss to be drawn from the failure of one’s own national side. It’s just lovely having someone to be annoyed at. That’s why Steve McClaren is so useful.
Failing that, you could just sit and bite your nails all day. Your call.
