Does Lola look a bit nervous?

She should!

Any minute now her idea of torture is about to happen. Torture in Lola’s world isn’t us pulling out her toenails or teeth. It’s not even us burning her with a red hot poker. She’d probably not bat an eyelid at a kick in the ribs with a steel toe cap boot. (Before anyone gets on their high horse about me talking about doggy torture, just sit back and think about it for a moment. Do you REALLY think I’d ever harm my sweetie baby puppy?)

So, what’s the torture?

Ah, that’s it – I just heard the roar of the crowd and the sound of the starting whistle to kick off the match. It’s my beloved Spurs taking on FC Dnipro in the second leg of the Europa Cup round of 32. Let’s keep our fingers crossed for a better showing than the last twice our boys have donned their lilywhite shirts…

Lola has just slunk off the sofa and hidden behind the curtain. The torture has begun. Sorry Lola.
