OK, OK, it\’s only 10 minutes into the game and form will probably reassert itself.
Problem here though. Like every other Englishman I\’ve a terrible soft spot for the underdog. The little guy battling the giants. So of course I want Havant to win.
But: my wife is a fanatical Liverpool supporter.
Much as I\’d like the plucky little fighter to win, I\’d also like to be able to enter my own house as well.
1540: Havant & W’s Phillip Warner comes off with an injury and Tony Taggart, the dustbinman, comes on with Liverpool being taken to the cleaners.
1537: “The Havant & Waterlooville supporters are singing ‘Can we play you every week?’
1530: GOAL Liverpool 1-2 Havant & Waterlooville
I can’t type. My hands are shaking. Alfie Potter’s strike is deflected in by Martin Skrtel for an own goal. The odds on the biggest Cupset of all time are now 16-1.
Time to get the bed in the spareroom ready…
Can anyone please tell me:
Just how many million pounds did it take to squeak to a rather ignominious victory over the binmen and shopkeepers of the mighty Havant?
