For various reasons I have missed the last 3 matches down at
the pub. Before Sunday, the title of my latest entry has been kind of mocking
me. Ok, not kind of. Remorselessly fucking mocking me. Never give up. Right. After each cup defeat I was sorely tempted to
post something to address the irony of my conclusion in that previous report to
the subsequent performances [or lack thereof].
Knowing that I would in all likelihood be unable to view this
North London Derby didn’t help the pre-match tension, I have to say. With Mike
Dean in charge and Phil Dowd between the two managers, there was even less optimism.
7amkickoff noted beforehand that we have never won a NLD with Dean in charge.
