Boo!
Bloody hell. Predictions are all well and good, as the laughable Pele knows all too well, but when they then turn round and bite you on the arse, while you're not even in the country, things can get slightly embarrassing. There I was, on a beach in Tunisia (very nice by the way, recommend it to anyone), with not a hint of news or sport or anything. Then the peace was shattered this morning to find out we had lost to the Blues. And not just lost. But hopelessly beaten out of sight. Rewind a week, and things were looking rosy. An England draw with Portugal was OK, and then midweek a win against Charlton, with Stefan Moore scoring on his debut, my prediction was going well. Then came the bombshell. 3-0. Surely I was mistaken. We couldn't have let 3 in in one game. We weren't playing Liverpool. But no. 3-0. And not just 0 goals, but according to Sky's stats, not a shot on goal. I was glad I was out of the country. At least yesterday was better, a scrappy 3-2 win sorts us out again, but throwing away a 2-0 lead at home. Only we could do that (or maybe Spurs perhaps). And then, to compound things, my link still didn't bloody work. If anyone still has the slightest of longing to see what it;s all about, just email me (shortland@heroesandvillains.net) and I'll email it to you. I can do that. Technology and the Villa. Always let you down when you least expect it.
