Football is non-stop. Even the first kick of the first league game of the season has been preceded by pre-season games. Pre-season games are trumped by pre-season training and that bloody transfer window madness, the first rumblings of which are felt long before it even opens, before last season even finished at all. So it possibly escaped your notice that we had a very significant season last year. Oh alright, it probably didn't completely escape your notice. But it's far too easy to get carried into a new season before fully appreciating the last one. Luckily, someone has gone to the bother of reliving it for us.
I celebrated one year of marriage at the weekend. A weekend away was called for and on the way I stopped to grab a book. 'Nothing stood out' I told the wife, until I spotted the familiar sight of white lines on green grass on the cover of one particular literary effort. Ok, that jumped out. And then I read a few lines on the back cover.
'Years of underachievement. An heroic sense of injustice. A seemingly infinite capacity for self-destruction. John Crace and Spurs were made for each other'.
And indeed this book was made for me. And probably you too. So enjoy your Monday glow after a good win, but also take the chance to relive and re-enjoy last season with a great and, very familiar, read.
I read the whole thing on my anniversary weekend. An obsessive leaning and an understanding wife. The book deals with that too.
And use the SC affiliates to buy the book to keep the site churning out similar bite-sized chunks of Spurs life :up:
