Outrage...



As Scrobs is always ahead of the news, the bit in one of the rags which tells everyone that Tottenham Hotspur fans have watched their team allow five goals go to Newcastle within ten or so minutes of the match starting has really made this train hit the buffers! Some 'fans' have now decided to go back home immediately after all that expensive travelling, so the cost of living (lockdown) crisis apparently doesn't apply to football... 

I mean, is their football train 'special' still parked at platform 3? Is there enough Stella on board? What about the ham rolls!

Surely we need to get an all-party parliamentary committee to investigate this outrage, after all, there maybe some vulnerable persons arriving at Winchelsea in an inflatable boat, and they might need that train!

Hopefully, there will be a Civil Service enquiry and all will be revealed in due course, probably 2026...

It's a heck of a long way to go to watch a football match. Still, they saw lots of goals which must have helped. I agree, we do need an all-party parliamentary committee to investigate. Not including Diane Abbott of course.

Dear oh dear:

“Stellini's tactical decisions had drawn the ire of Spurs fans during his brief tenure, particularly when Sanchez was brought on as a substitute in the 35th minute during the 3-2 defeat against Bournemouth and then booed when he was taken off in the 58th minute.”

Yes AK, it was quite a trek and must have cost several quid, which undoubtedly came out of the cost-of-covid-living-bollocks budget of the various households!

As a non-football watcher, James, I can't really comment, but didn't Stellini direct several sexy films in the sixties?

I quite like Bournemouth, but they have a lot of prats on the council, so our business there never materialised, and maybe that was a good thing!

We actually walked the path, (road), of Prescott's famous drive of a few yards, and that took several seconds of concerned anguish too!
