More 6-year olds at White Hart Lane than usual!
My brother was at the U21 game on Friday night, unfortunately without the 10 foot Charlton flag that he owns! Lucky as it would have gotten very wet but at least for once it wouldn't have come home smelling of beer. That's the flag not my brother! Here is what he said:
"After getting a soaking from Seven Sisters to White Hart Lane finding out there was no booze available in the ground and then sitting with 30,000 under six year olds, I wasn't enjoying my first visit to White Hart Lane since boxing day a few years back.
France passed the ball around a lot better than England and were no doubt by far the better team for 88 mins.
Bent was always a threat and was very unlucky not to score in the second half after somehow Zubar sprinted back to clear the ball off the line. Ambrose, meanwhile, was seeing more of the ball as the game continued, and slid in to level the game at 1-1 with just minutes left.
It made the trip, the rain and no beer worth it in the end. Now.... lets find a warm North London pub with no children or Spurs fans in it!" ¶ 08:08
