I have been told to stop moaning!!

Avid readers of my blog have told me to stop moaning. I go on too much about lack of passes etc and so I will try and be more positive today. Last Friday Spizz was missing my tentative return from my last operation. The game was a pulsating 2-2 draw with Joe getting two goals for them while ours were scored by a young guest player, who played too high up the pitch for Ian G.'s liking. We had good performances from Tone and Alan Morg., who both rattled the steelwork with long-range shots while the young and old Sams produced as well.

For them Big Dave kept it tight at the back and Mick K. was good in midfield. Sheffield Andy, who said afterwards they were the moral victors, did quite well. Liverpool Danny (aka the Diplomat) had to take some stick about his team before the game but made some key saves and was unlucky not to get on the score sheet. Simon Ink. has been playing more regularly and this has benefitted his performance.

Another Friday football missed!!

Well, I know it is not a very good show but I missed another Friday night footie. I was having a few drinks near London's Liverpool Street with an old mate. I don't know about the economic downturn but it was three deep at the bar of the Hamilton Hall, which is a Wetherspoon pub and one of my favourites. We went to Dirtys Dicks and then ended up at a great pub selling stout, which was great fantastic. Football was not on the conversation since we are both Man Utd fans.
My mate was born outside Manchester and my Dad, from Irlam, ensured that I followed the Red Devils. However, I have seen Spurs quite a bit. My favourite player of all time is John Pratt followed by Steve Archibald ("We'll take good year of you Archibald, Archibald"). Pratt had a pre-match routine of walking a particular route within the White Hart Lane comoplex. You could time your watch by him!!

Which brings me to the one and only Spizz. The plan was for Gashead to send me a match report, which I could put in the blog. However, it has not worked out. I will give Gashead a call. As for the Reds on for the Quintuple, not every game will be against Spurs. Talking about real football, I have asked Ian G. to be my agent and negotiate a better package with Gashead. I don't
want to play in goal.

PS. The Hamilton Hall link is a bit sniffy about recommending the place but I think it is great with the very high ceilings and it is a good place to start an evening from.
