2006 - May
Cheers Sweder, though my mood has hardly lightened -- for reasons I'll mention in my next entry.

I've always been ambivalent about Spurs. They were the team my older brother supported when I was a kid, an enthusiam presumably born in the double-winning era that I was too young to have remembered. I don't care much about them either way, though I have to say that the general derision following the food-poisoning incident seems a little harsh to me. Surely people don't genuinely believe that this was some elaborate scheme to have the match rescheduled?

I actually feel sorry for them, that this should have happened hours before such a huge game.

The apparent pleasure i took in my entry was about Arsenal getting the place rather than Tottenham losing it. Almost imperceptibly over the years, I've come to like Arsenal more and more. I saw them at Wembley a few times in the 60s and 70s (including the Charlie George cup final in 1971) but felt indifferent. But the Wenger era has been a joy to behold. I saw the recent away victories (Sunderland, Man City) on TV, and was entranced by some of their football.

I suspect they won't win the Champions League, but here's hoping...
