Should I Stay or Should I Go?Despite a squad of 18 players, the emails and text messages leading up to this game came thick and fast. "Moving house", "not well", "working", "good luck!". A bloody nightmare if you have to be there, drive the car, carry (and wash) the kit. We send out the call for a ringer or two and John comes up trumps with Ked who travels down from Southgate to make up t
he eleven. The usual suspects show up at the meet wondering just how many we'd put past our old keeper, now at Shepherds Tuesday. And of course we do indeed put four past him. Problem is we let in seven ourselves in a huff and puff kind of a game. Nothing too exciting to report from the game, bar the decent header Nick scored from a corner, a penalty scored by Joao, a penalty missed by Joao and a debut goal from Ked. One of them days when the football simply didn't click, but we know we'll be back soon and do so much better. We trudged off back to the car, past the giraffe enclosure at the Zoo, eager to seek the Utd-City score (4-3 to Utd with Owen scoring the winner in the 95th minute...bloody hell!). Back home a feast of roast chicken, veg and gravy awaits, gulped down with a lovely bottle of Camp Viejo Rioja. Despite us losing, despite Chelsea beating Spurs on the box, life doesn't seem all that bad.
