Cup Final FeverI dunno which is more painful, supporting the team that loses an enthralling final, or being gutted at not having played a bet, just because of that one lady sitting at the Singapore Pools Counter near my block.
No seriously, my dad and I realised, that whenever we got this certain lady to print out betting slips out, we always, end up losing. Haha, so what happens, is a boycott. My old man, has been on a roll of late. He predicted, A-D in the afternoon, though I didn't end up putting in a wager on the game.
Here's the deal. Odds is at 20 bucks for a dollar paid. Good money eh? The sad part, the lady is in the house. And the other counter has it's shutters shut. Haha, so guess what, our friend ends up coming home, with that sick feeling, that he could have made some money.
Of course, everyone knows what happened la. West Ham, being the away side, were ahead at half time, and Captain Marvel himself brings it to extra-time with a stunning 91st minute strike. So to rub it in (like I always do with mi dad), I said, so how are you feeling about the final. Haha, that kinda opened pandora's box and he went on, cursing the poor lady who was sitting there, issuing tickets. Heh. My old man, just love him.
Noone can ever forget, that strike out of the blue, from Stevie G, so check this out. Plucked out, from gd ol' youtube.
Four minutes of added time. GERRARDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!
I just love our captain.
