And so I sit in the pub to watch the opening Spurs game of the season.

As usual, the pub is full of one day Sunderland fans (I find that if ever there is a Northern team playing, then all the locals support them - despite passionately claiming they’re midlanders and not Northerners, however when it comes to Spurs then we could be playing the Al Qaida 11 and everyone in Nottingham would be walking about in black turbans and sporting AK’s )

And in the last seconds of the game, Sunderland score the winning goal.

And the next day, in the dying moments of the Arsenal/Fulham game, Arsenal score the winning goal.

Football can be so depressing at times.
