I've just got off a plane in Bahrain with a four hour wait before an onward flight to Bangalore and somewhat stupidly, I had been hoping that just as our second visit to the New Swill Field had been a 2-1 victory after a 1-1 last season that we could do the same to Oxford. My only concern was that on recent form, I wasn't sure if Oxford would score.
My spirit of expectation was heightened by my iPod randomly selecting Fanfare for the Common Man at a time that roughly co-incided with full time - and I took this as an omen. I'm exploring exactly how I get pissed in a Moslem country so as to be completly wasted when passing though Indian Customs at half five Sunday morning.
I was disappointed to see Woking win today (my youngest son Tristan is appearing in Peter Pan at the New Victoria Theatre in Woking with the Fonz playing the role of Captain Hook and Woking fans who I have met are convinced they might go down this year) but it only shows how crap halifax are way from the Shay - I would classify home halifax as being a match we must win.
Come on someone, cheer me up!
