5 things that we learned about the Championship

“Qu’ills mangent de la brioche”

When told that the starving peasants had no bread, a famous French princess is alleged to have uttered that phrase which translates to “Let them eat brioche”, or as it is translated into English, “Let them eat cake.”

Blackburn-Burnley-Blackburn-Cake-Burnley-Cake-Adam-Dickinson-564582The eating of cake is exactly what Blackburn fan Adam Dickinson intended to do as he looked longingly at his elaborately iced and decorated cake, festooned in the colours of his beloved Blackburn and decorated with the club crest. Mouth drooling like one of Pavlov’s dogs and with the knife poised…Adam pushed the knife through the icing and sponge creation.

With horror, he recoiled.

In an act of sabotage, the baker commissioned for the birthday piece de resistance had dyed the sponge interior of the cake in the amber and claret colours of Blackburn’s fiercest rivals and neighbours in Premier League Burnley.

Understandably Adam took to social media to express his outrage at Cake-gate. It cannot be confirmed at the moment whether he said “Crumbs!” to show his disappointment.
