johnny9fingersI meant to post this a day ago, but things have been a bit busy...
Now when it comes to the round ball game there are some germane points. I was born in '61. In that year Spurs did the double. Like A J Ayer and Peter Cook I'm a Spurs fan.
This past week of football has been unprecedented. Not just for Spurs, but for Liverpool, and Arsenal, and Chelsea too. This has probably been the greatest week in club football ever in terms of meaningful and exciting matches.
That's a big statement. If you don't know much about football (soccer to the cousins) ask someone who does. This has been epoch-making, and it was all captured on camera. The Champions League really ought to issue BlueRay or 4K discs of this season's matches. But this last week has been one for the history books. We may never reach these peaks again. Liverpool/Barca and Ajax/Spurs have to be two of the most amazing back-to-back matches in my memory.
Shame the world is going to hell in a hand basket in the meantime; but there you go.
