Had originally planned to give this game a miss due to lack of finances, but was so pleased when I managed to pick up a cheaper block 5 ticket in mid-week. Turned out to be completely worth it for a great result, awesome atmosphere and most of all for that 60 seconds of pure, brilliant mayhem.
The Sp*ds were very one dimensional. Hit it long to Crouch and Keane will run onto the lose/knocked back ball.
Were as us we were struggling in the first half to get out of first gear. I was already waiting for half time as AW needed to give the players a talking too. We were too static at times.
I could see if we started to play they were for the taking. Que the 40th minute.........
As soon as RVP slotted the goal the place went mad. Sheer delight as I couldn't see a real threat at the time from them and the goal could have really kick started us...
Still jumping up and down in joy when I saw Cesc through on goal. quickly dawned on me that the game had restarted.
GOAL!!
I went MENTAL. Jumping over seats, Hugging my fellow regular supporters around me and Shouting and cheering at the top of my lungs. YEEAAHHH!!!!!
By the 43rd minute I was knackered! and out of breath!

Odds on Bent bagging a couple against them next week? And then "good old 'Arry" claiming the credit for turning him into a goalscorer with his reverse psychology last season.
"Ave I ever told you about how we only had 2 points when I got here?"
What a day! Just imagine if we had actually really turned it on??
The Beer Cup team would have smashed them too, they really were a pile of shit weren't they??
