The better team...lost.

Yesterday I did what every great man needs to do in his lifetime... watch Blackburn Rovers play a game of football. People compare such an event to the Wall of Berlin being thrown over or even the birth of Jesus. Blackburn Rovers; Modern Day Gladiators.

Unfortunately today with a few bad referee decisions coupled with bad luck the might of the north went down 3-2 to a very lucky Tottenham HotSpunk. Seated in the season ticket end of White Hart Lane I wasn't exactly feeling to much at home with thousands of Spurs supporters surrounding me chanting and bellowing there words of hatred towards the pitch.

At around 2pm my dads mate Bob (the organiser and heart behind spurs) picked me up and did the trek into London. Before the game pre-match analysis took place in the local tavern. Being the only person with a blue and white shirt on proved to be a conversation starter for the home fans. Before long we where walking up to the ground, Bob decided to openly gesture that he thought that Blackburn where an amazing team and that what ever would happen he knew that Blackburn would always be the far superior team. Or something like that.

It was so so cool to be sitting in the stadium that you watch on T.V for so long. It makes you wanna be out on the pitch playing let alone sitting. Both halfs of football where very entertaining, seeing a total of 5 goals; heart thumping stuff. Blackburn 2-0 down at one stage, fought back to level the game before a boring and annoying Spurs clinched the winner with not much time left on the clock. The highlites of it all was seeing Brad Friedal in goal, he's been my fav. for along time and was awesome through out.

Although the mighty rovers lost, they lost galliently to a Tottenham HotSpunk team that lacked much formation and team spirit. If there are any Spurs supporters reading this blog, you where lucky... daaamn lucky.

Overall an awesome experience and I'm definetely going to Ewood Park before the season is out; so I can sing in unison with the Rovers fans and show my true colours :).
