The Mighty Blues 1 (Hasselbaink) Man Ure 1 (Nat King Cole) Premiership 10th January 2001
Down The Cole Hole
After the game, the first thing I did was to check my exorbitant lunch bill to see whether Elleray had the four extra grappas..... he must have
been pissed not to give franco a penalty and adjudge the ball had crossed the line by its whole circumference....that had crossed the line about as much as that famous "goal" in 1966, which never was, but I digress (Oh, yes it fucking well was, Klaus, by a mile. That's 2 point something kilometres to you... Priesty.) Lunch as per usual in our favorite Italian eaterie with more Danes, my sexy wife and 7 month old daughter in CFC anorak..... Yes I am very
sad sometimes.....copious amounts of wine were chased by several grappas, so one arrived at the Bridge nicely fortified by way of more
beer at the Fine Line ..... more Danes.. there must be a nest somewhere....it really is the most frightful fucking noise.. Danish that is.... Atmosphere at Bridge loud and noisy.... particularly me.... the game.... well just give the ball to Jesper seems to be the plan... and it
worked... first half Man U had nothing..... Giggs was in Albert's pocket.... Beckham ran around like a headless chicken.... Keane was out-muscled
by Dennis and Dalla Bona.... back three of Marcel, Terry, and I have to admit Franck Le Beef imperious..... Jimmy holding the ball superbly
and ready to pounce, which he did with gingernut's classy header... Cudicini proved a couple of times what a good keeper he is... the
faithful provided one particularly bizarre moment.... singing Paolo di Canio's name ..... anything to take the piss out of the northerners from
Surrey.... Should have been 4 up before they decided to to play a bit..... Franco should have had a penalty... scored a perfectly good goal.... Jimmy missed a
sitter .... the italian guru must have been under the impression that we were four up, otherwise why take Gronkjaer off and put the park kicker Jonkanosomething on...... especially as Manu had scored just seconds before..... All in all 2 points lost rather than one gained.... Champions League is far away..... off to the library we go.... Can't wait to see Dixon's stupid
face when Jesper races past...... maybe we'll find a pub this time..... What do YOU think ? Want to add your point of view ? Here's your chance to send me some feedback. NB: Opposing fans: abuse will be laughed at and then binned, so don't waste your time. Considered, intelligent argument, presented in the spirit of friendly rivalry guarantees a response.
