A great result on Sunday, four home wins in a row (at the new stadium). It was just a shame that we weren’t there, only viewing it through the gogglebox. Hopefully next season we shall all be there cheering Mourinho and the team along (and in Europe: proving Wolves can slip up at either Palace or Chelsa).
My latest article/ blog (below) is a review of the game and what we have to do to keep in the race for a European Europa league placing. Plus I throw in a few statistics, a wedding and a toast. Now, where is that glass of wine? Best Regards, Glenn Thank you.
Extracts from my Blog:
Before the virus break, I was in the doldrums (with four key players out) everything looked grim for us. I expected United and West Ham to give us a hiding and it probably could have got even worse after that. Then the COVID-19 came to our rescue, like Roy Rogers on his trusted Trigger (no, not him from Only Fools and Horses… but a horse, nonetheless). Of course, it was a bumpy return (even though all our players were back from injury); we drew with United, beat the Hammers, lost to Sheffield United, but then beat Everton and drew with relegation-threatened Bournemouth. What a mixed bag.
Then things clicked into place with the Gunners arriving on our turf (we beat them 2-1), and then we got an away victory over Newcastle (1-3). The next big game was against fourth-placed Leicester City, who were hoping for a Champions League place, and it would have done their hopes a power of good if they had come away from the Tottenham stadium with thee points in the bag.
The day started as it always does (under lockdown rules) with a cycle ride (two, one in the morning, second in the afternoon), some work (even on a Sunday) and then preparations for the game… which was basically switching on the computer (such hard planning goes into watching Spurs since the lockdown… I can tell you!). As I had previously said, Tottenham had given us free passes to watch the games on NowTV. The Newcastle game was only on Sky – I don’t have Sky – so a friend got me a link, but this time (the Leicester game) I paid my £9.99.
No drink or food preparations, just me, myself and I, all glued together to my computer. However, I did have a couple of glasses of wine after the game, more on that later (oh, and a Pot Noodle… yes, I splashed out.. sometimes my extravagance can get the better of me!).
Anyway…
We boosted our chances of Europe-Thursday-night- League football next season. At the same time, we inflicted a massive blow on Leicester’s Champions League ambitions with a superb performance.
