Funny – I thought tomorrow was supposed to be Easter Sunday. Obviously $ky have bought the rights to Christianity now, and are renaming religious festivals.
Peep Show’s David Mitchell and Robert Webb sum up football fans perfectly HERE. A gem for those who both love and hate the sport…
Tomorrow morning, I will be making the long trip up north to Yorkshire. As City are having a rare Saturday off, I have decided to go and watch a Leeds United game. Although I have watched United away at Cheltenham this season, it has been a long time since I have visited Elland Road – I am quite looking forward to the match against Walsall.
Hopefully it’ll be 3 points for The Whites (I have NEVER seen them lose at home) and will give me some consolation after a disappointing result for Bath City.
I am staying overnight in Yorkshire and hope to be able to blog from my lodgings. Therefore, if no blog appears, assume I have been killed by some northern monkey.
Now I must go – I have to pack supplies for my trip. From past experience, I have learnt the North is a different place to that of the South, and is very limited in it’s availability of pasties and cider. I must stock up on vital provisions.
Today was my 50th consecutive Bath City game (home and away, all competitions, not counting friendlies). I was hoping that the personal anniversary would be rewarded with a win for the Romans. Alas, it wasn’t to be
City were playing Havant and Waterlooville (yes, the team that played Liverpool in the FA Cup). City scored first after Havant’s goalkeeper decided to go walkies outside of his box. When City get the first goal, they always win (or so has been the rule all season). Unfortunately things were different today.
Havant got an equaliser from a very impressive strike – the kind of goal you don’t really mind conceding, simply due to the shear class of it. That one shot was the only moment of quality shown by Havant, who, for the remainder of the game, dived, fouled and moaned to the referee. They even managed to get City’s Lewis Hogg unfairly sent off. Scumbags.
For shame. I think they picked up some nasty habits on their visit to Anfield.
One final note. Bath City drew with Havant 1-1. Liverpool beat Havant 5-2. Does that mean City have a better defence than Liverpool? :o)
This evening I went to the restaurant, Frankie and Benny’s. Besides a good meal, I was intrigued by something I found in the toilet… While standing at the urinal, the sound of urine hitting porcelain was drowned out by an Italian lesson being played through the speakers.
I suppose that if you were to spend long enough in the toilet, you may have actually learnt some Italian. Then again, if you did have to spend hours in a restaurant bathroom, you have more concerning problems than that of learning a foreign language.
