Well, If Mourinho can return, i thought so could the ramblings for a short period.
Basically, it's because i was fortunate enough to get a seat for Saturday. I was going anyway but was resigned to playing in the comp that night. Now, i'm going to feel a part of it, for a short while anyway, and it will be really good to meet some of the really good players on the forum, and MAXALLY.
I don't actually know anyone on here. And so, if any of you are meeting up beforehand and don't mind an ageing, tubby little man tagging along, then please let me know where and when.
...
Not quite sure why, but i am really looking forward to this. It reminds me of when i was a kid and couldn't wait for the Cup Final. Remember, back in the 80's this was the match of the season bar none. Not hidden away on a Saturday night, after all the important Premier League games like Fulham v Norwich have taken place.
Coverage was on both BBC and ITV and started mid morning. We had the teams at the hotels, on the coach, the banal interviews. Every players prematch meal was pie and mash and favourite band was Genesis. Liverpools white suits. Remember the cup final songs? Everton had "HERE WE GO" Tottenham had a song that went something like "Spurs are on their way to Wembley, Ossies knees have gone all trembly"
In honour of those Cup Finals i thought i could do an interview. In the absence of Motty or Gary Newbon, i'll be asking the questions.
Pre match drink?
6-8 pints of Peroni in the Vine on Friday night.
Attire?
A rather fetching(flattering) dark shirt and jean combo.
Pre match music?
We're going with some old school. UTAH SAINTS and Joy Division.
Superstitions?
Never play the first hand. Unless it's Aces, or one of the cards has a picture on it, or they're the same suit, or they're connected.
Which charity?
Well, not charity as such but planning to donate plenty in the cash games after my brief spell in the tourney comes to a conclusion. Also, i believe somewhere else i pledged to buy Mr Tikay a latte, so another £2.50 or so there.
