yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yeeees! THAT was a goal! (or so i heard)

 

in november 2007

the world was a very similar place

vaguely spherical and with a lot of knobs on it

in not at all sunny london

i had just staggered off a plane from tropical venezuela

and copped that familiar juddering freezing feeling which arrives as you go up the walkway from the plane

which blighty almost never fails to provide

upon being safely ensconced above the lavatorial brazos pub in brixton

in the company of my beloved C

she agreed to accompany me to a posh bit of town 

to see a fitba game

it was a friendly match between straya mate and naughty nigeria

as we crossed the mean tubes of london

to the badlands of fulham

I, shivering in giallo

still high from voyage

blathered at her with stories of venezlandia

and spouted my newly improved shit spanish

craven cottage was a delight

still retaining old skool stands etc

and the socceroos won 1-0

against those dastardly nigerians

sadly we missed the goal

as we were quaffing our overpriced beers on the stairs

because for some daft reason

they didnt let you drink in the stands

apparently the goal was a scorcher

a 25 metre thunderbastard from david carney

but we only heard the muffled roar

of the (presumably) drunken australian backpackers

from the bowels of the stand

but it was all good

despite the climatic/horological befuddlement

i got to witness my national team play 

and win!

(against a team that wasnt shit)

and i was back in baby's arms...
