doncaster-1 spurs-5
So it’s my 3-year anniversary yesterday, right?
I plan a nice surprise for the missus, on top of the nice card and flowers that greeted her at the breakfast table in the am, that is.
At 6:30pm, her brother arrives as planned to babysit so we could go into town for a few drinks and a nice meal. As we finished our final cocktail in Break For The Border (went there for a laugh) before heading to the Indian restaurant for our booking, her phone rang.
It was the brother. The little tyke hadn’t stopped screaming since we had left and he was REALLY sorry, but could we please come home.
We weren’t as worried as most parents would be, since every and I mean EVERY single evening he had been fine around that time, and the odds really were in favour of it being a minor problem.
True enough, when we did get home, there wasn’t a sound out of the child, and he even afforded us a cheeky grin when he saw us. The brother-in-law was understandably mortified, but naturally we forgave him for erring on the side of caution.
What does all this have to do with the match, I hear you cry?
Well after we ordered an Indian takeaway and everything had been consumed and the evening’s events rehashed and laughed at, I suddenly remembered my Spurs had been playing. Not like me, that! I’m normally checking my phone when out to see has there been any updates (though forgetting this time was no harm given the occasion).
So on the net I go and I discover that for the second Wednesday in a row, we’ve won 5-1 away from home.
Nice to see Pav & Crouch make the score sheet, and for dos Santos and most of the other fringe players to get a run.
All I hope for now is that Harry at least rewards one player with a starting role at the weekend. For me it would be Kyle Naughton at full-back, but that would be going on pre-season form since I didn’t see him last night. Like I’ve said before, there’s no point in having such a large squad if you’re going to insist on the same starting XI week-in, week-out.
So when all was said and done, I saved a few bob on the meal WITHOUT losing brownie points with the missus, AND Spurs won. What more could you ask for, right?
COME ON YOU SPURS
