No matter how often I hear the newscasters saying (and I quote from Radio 4 this evening) ‘a terrible refereeing blunder robbed Spurs of three points last night’ I am still as mad as hell about it. Last night’s decision was so outrageous that it has made headlines in the UK all day today and is still being talked about now.
In fact, one of the big bookmakers companies in the UK has paid out on all bets on Pedro Mendes to score as a ‘goodwill’ gesture. That’s a sure fire indication that there is no doubting this travesty of justice.
Somehow we have ended up with only one point and the thing they are all saying is ‘what if Moan U win the league by one point’ BUT to me there is a bigger danger – spot six gets a UEFA Cup place and we would have gone into sixth last night with a fair decision. What if our hopes of a European slot are thwarted by two points? That slot means a huge amount financially and emotionally to a team like Spurs.
So, to use the biggest, most well-known, footie cliché going – I am as sick as a parrot Brian!
Now I didn't think I'd find a use for that mouldy carrot but in the spirit of waste not want not it has been peeled, diced and mixed with a couple of teaspoons of yogurt, turmeric and a couple of scraps of sun-dried tomato!
This time last year, I was struggling with emails!
