Ok, here we go my first attempt at writing a blog! Everything is quiet in the house, the alpha female, ie: Tuula is in the bedroom watching TV from her new telephone and the cats are not yet demanding their dinner. So here I sit trying to think of something to write,,, better come up with something soon as in just over half an hour the Spurs are on TV. Another must win game against Norwich City. Apparently we have not lost at Norwich for 6 games, yet I remember we always used to struggle there. I've been to Norwich's Carrow Road three times in the 1980's and I think we lost each time 2-1.
Now since moving to Finland back in 1987, I've not been to a game, although as Tottenham are on TV almost weekly, I'm watching them more now than ever before. Tottenham for me came with my first breath, the family on my Father's side came from Tottenham, living within 10 minutes from the "Spurs Ground" as the locals still prefer to call White Hart Lane. I will tell about my "Tottenham family" many times during this blog, my connection to the Spurs. But now time goes on and I need to don my Spurs shirt and light the Spurs candle (to be explained).
Someone recently said, "Every saturday we see them, fat middle aged men all in their favorite team's shirt, all secretly hoping that their favorite team find themselves one man short, the manager looks to the crowd for that needed man, then he sees ME"
Well, he should have chosen ME in the end, 1-0 defeat and like watching paint dry, well at least the cats are happy and fed.
