Have you been in touch with our man in Hamburg?

The Bagel.

Would hate to go out on the old away goals saga.

Spurs 1-0 this week
Lose 1-2 next week
we still go through

And I was wondering…

My dear old mum, she’s knocking on a bit now, but she’s still game, she’s never really worked with computers, but, wanting to maintain some kind of technical relationship with her grandchildren, figured she would take some courses on word / excel etc kinda basic computing knowledge.

The last thing she wanted was her grandchildren and herself to have a techno gap so vast they couldn’t communicate. Therefore she understands internet, knows what avatars are etc etc.

C’mon kiki, get on with it, I hear you cry.

Well, like I say she’s retired now, and would have remembered spuds last league triumph of ‘61, but not many of her generation have her gumphh, for instance my ole dad tried to play both sides of a cd once (haven’t they all ?) and despite constantly telling me he needs a laptop - I bought him one once and he just couldn’t get with it, so I took it back to ease his pain - he’s just a pc lost cause.

I imagine some of your audience were there in ‘61, some readers of bagels blog remember the glory days, recall the rattles and scarves of years gone by, with a single policeman and a soggy pie at half time, passing kids over heads and a pint after the game. Currently they still have the ability to wield a mouse, they currently have the ability to download porn while reading a new blog.

But how long will they be able to muster that stamina ?

When they leave the wide-eyed web behind, how will they know the glory days are being remembered, after all the witnesses will no longer be around. How will they know the glory carries on ?

Look at it this way, we all watch the film Zulu and admire the British spunk on display (well Welsh), but we cant relate it to todays Britain, can we?

Soon the living memories will pass, soon it will just be media that keeps the dream alive, soon it will be as real as the Dodo. An archived event captured in black and white.

Nothing but a blot on the landscape of an unremarkable passage of spuds time.

What happens then, does it just become a fable, does it join the likes of the bogeyman, ghosts and fairies, an old wives tales told in the parlours to frighten young children?

Only time will tell.

Big game this one… would totally suck if our season is over this time next week.

1-1 in never neverland…Bagel that game is addictive

Stuck on level 6 11770 damn it
