Well much better result today... got a very good chance now on Wednesday of putting fourth place to bed.

Got a free ticket and so was able to go at last minute and got my photo taken with nice Mr Gary Mabbutt...

He got quite the welcome with a nice sing song and some decent chanting... took our minds off the nerves for a while!

Yes, Colston, it must have been a bit nervy being there. Kinda glad, wasn't able to watch it!

What's that bit of paper, you and Mabsy are holding?

It doesn't say 'Spurs Fans on the Couch' by any chance, does it?!!

It is a very silly thing... there is a jazz musician in a group fo friends of mine and it is his name (unfortunately in orange highlighted pen and hence invisible!)...
it is a very childish in joke about having your picture taken with famous people with them holding the sign... 'I'm Mr Xxxxx'

Awesome, Colston. It is so cool when you "run into" famous people like that. Very cool...

Was he your grandfather Spurs?

Bristol Jones I like that... being a Bristolian. Rovers and Spurs just like Gay Mabbutt.

Well... judgment day is here. It is ten past eight in the morning and I am a bag of nerves...

He was my great grandfather. We are doing some geneology just now and my bro found the wiki page. It really gave us the push we needed to do this seriously and get the whole story. With his complete name (We only knew John Jones - not too many of those, right?), we were able to find his brothers and sisters and his parents. It is really interesting!

I just can't think about this afternoon....I am with you Colston...bag of nerves!!

Interesting read, Spurs, nice to have a connection with the club.

It will indeed be a nervy night. A draw will do us, but we can't afford to sit back for long periods of the game.

Preferably I'd like to see Hud and Mod start in the middle and take it to 'em!!!
