Driver’s Weather
Driver on the Wing’s Weather for Chelsea v Man City
Spring will be with us for our twelfth trip to the new Wembley stadium. Gone now is the bitter cold of the last month and instead mild southerly winds will blow warmth over London. Temperatures will hit an above average 18 degrees on Sunday afternoon, warmer than the more average highs of both Saturday and [...]
Driver on the Wing’s Weather for Rubin Kazan v Chelsea
The weather in Moscow will not be dissimilar to that which we have been “enjoying” here of late. Pretty chilly at night: a little warmer in the day. Highs of around 7 degrees. Lows around -1. Dry with an easterly wind at around 10mph. Sunrise in Moscow will be at 06:35 and sunset at 20:27. [...]
Driver on the Wing’s Weather for Chelsea v Sunderland
If April is the cruellest month, it is also fair to say that Sunderland is the strangest place. While Chelsea enjoys the greatest diversity among its supporters, Sunderland probably has the least. Sunderland is geographically isolated which has implications for those that live there. Indeed, if you go back far enough, you will find that [...]
Driver on the Wing’s Weather for Chelsea v Rubin Kazan
An area of high pressure sitting to the north of the Shetland Islands is sitting still and blasting a chill all over the United Kingdom and much of northern Europe. It is showing no signs of moving off and giving us the spring that we deserve. The weather will remain cold but dry. It will [...]
Driver on the Wing’s Weather for Chelsea v Man Utd
And so our winter of discontent rumbles on with little sign of the emergence of spring. It will remain cold for the next week or more. That is cold when we play our FA Cup replay and cold when we play our Europa Cup match and cold when we play Sunderland in the league. A [...]
Driver on the Wing’s Weather for Southampton v Chelsea
OK, this has been going on for too long and we are all pretty fed up with it. The sooner summer comes the better and we can move on and revel in all we have dreamed about during these dark days of winter. The weather is also becoming a bore. How much longer can we [...]
Driver on the Wing’s Weather for Chelsea v West Ham
The Krays must have been very popular chaps. It is hard to find anyone from the East End or Essex who didn’t know them personally or whose father or grandfather was not a drinking buddy of theirs. Every West Ham fan, almost without exception, revers the Krays as local heroes. And why wouldn’t they? That [...]
Driver on the Wing’s Weather for Chelsea v FC Steaua Bucuresti
This winter has dragged on for too long and seems set to continue a while longer as well. Some Marches are filled with sunny days which bring hope of an early spring, but not this one. Frigid days and colder nights. Bitter winds that whip through flesh and bone. Rain and snow n3ever far away [...]
Driver on the Wing’s Weather for Man Utd v Chelsea
Manchester sees itself as an important city. It has pretentions of being an international conurbation. When all is said and done, however, it is simply a regional centre and has little relevance outside the north west of England. It is strange how perceptions of places can be altered by the media. The population of Manchester [...]
Driver on the Wing’s Weather for FC Steaua Bucuresti v Chelsea
A sudden spring-like turn has come to the weather and where there was cloud and rain, now the sun is shining. London will enjoy a delightful week. Highs up to 12 degrees on Thursday and lows as high as 7 degrees. Bucharest, set as it is deep in Continental Europe, is also enjoying spring. Although [...]
