Jose's dog and the boring FA Cup

It's generally a bad sign when the dog of one of the managers provides the most exciting story from an FA Cup Final.
Chelsea just defeated Manchester United, 1-0, in the 126th FA Cup Final and the first to be played at the newly redeveloped Wembley Stadium.
It was a boring match, with the only real excitement coming in the 115th minute (the match went into extra time). That's when Didier Drogba scored for the Blues.
Much more excitement occurred off the pitch earlier this week.
Police went to the home of Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho this week to investigate claims that his dog had been taken into and out of the country in violation of Britain's strict, anti-rabies quarantine rules.
Never one to be quiet, Mourinho verbally sparred with officers, and he was arrested and cautioned.
If only the FA Cup Final had been so memorable.
Now, the girls and I are off to Dubuque's Grand Opera House and the second of their four dance recital performances.
I am attending the matinée performance and Jill will attend the evening show.
Rest assured, the dance recital will also provide more excitement than today's disappointing Cup final.
