I have my wedding anniversary, a dentist appointment and Spurs playing, all on the same day! I guess I can squeeze the anniversary in there somehow... With Chelski winning against Southampton on Saturday, our game at the Albion takes on more significance. The last thing we need before the FA Cup semi-final is another slip-up to open the door for Chelski. On an aside, I was watching the game on PVR and paused it at 67 minutes with Saints ahead 2-0 to drop off my son at his basketball game. On the way back, I drove by a Wendy's and since it was a rare non-raining day here in Vancouver, I decided to pick up a chocolate Frosty to enjoy while watching the rest of the game, only to have the entire experience spoiled by a capitulating Saints - in the time it took me to eat the Frosty, Chelski had scored 3 goals and ran out 3-2 winners. Clearly, the blame has to lie with Wendy's and to a lesser extent, their selection of dessert products. So I call on Spurs fans to avoid all Wendy's products from now to the end of the season.
Footballllllllllll. Soccerrrrrrrrrr. Isn't everyone hilarious and original with the 'Kane claims everyone's goals' memes? Nice to see him score some more.
I hope we don't rotate too much. But Lucas is pushing for a start and some of the attacking players have recently been, er, lacklustre shall we say. Somewhere I read Kane has scored hat-tricks over promoted teams the last 2 seasons, and this is his last chance to keep up the streak. I used to like B&HA, lived not too far from there for a while, and now of course with Hughton as the boss... remember a cup final where they almost beat ManU but for an epic fail from Gordon Smith.
Luckily, Mrs. Golara, without my even suggesting it, moved our anniversary celebration to Thursday night (she got one of her girlfriends to babysit our boys), so that's one inconvenience out of the way (still have to buy flowers and a card mind...). I don't know what would be worse, a dentist appointment or watching a Tony Pulis coached team? I hope and pray the Boro don't get promoted.
How come every time the commentator says: "He must score" or "Surely, he must score", the player usually misses?
I'm not suggesting we come up with a clever name for it, or treat it as ritual, but ... a win today would mathematically secure finishing above Arsenal this season. doing it anytime is nice; doing it in the middle of April would make me feel all warm inside.
everyone just a step slow to react today. and a fair bit of standing around watching the ball, not enough running into space
to be fair, there's not a lot of space to run into, as it's setting up. but you're right about the pace and the movement.
