The nightmare before Paris

21 November 2017

I’m trying my best to remain positive about this game tomorrow but I fear an absolute pasting

Heading off to London later on this afternoon before Paris in the morning and I’ll just need to consume enough drink to make me forget we are even playing

Sunday is our biggie, first trophy for the season up for grabs again and if we can win it then the treble is well and truly on again. The longer this unbeaten run goes as well makes you wonder if we dare to dream about doing it again

These are the days

i wish show - its not one of those type occasions you can blow off.

Hopefully the bar (fckn country club in edinburgh) will be showing the game and i can nip through. Fair chance ill miss a lot of goals considering the opposition

OK, Plan B it is then.

You are definitely feeling a bit off colour, to the extent that you have secreted an ipad in the bogs, pre-loaded with a stream for the game. For long periods of the match you are going to have to make yourself scarce to deal with the impending doom in your nether regions. Certainly between courses and definitely for the pudding. No point adding sugar to an already over-exuberant digestive system.

You could record gurgling noises and play them on your phone under the table. You could also play the martyr. "No soup for me, I'll have the eggs to try and bind me up a bit". That'll throw them off the scent.

Of course you could get to checking after the starter, see the scoreline, decide to make a miraculous recovery and have the pudding after all.
