The Jackpot in my case is green lights all the way. Given that my commute is an hour across a spread eagled city; then no chance. So you live for small victories like winning a fifth division lottery prize and getting your last months money back. In my case that is five sets of green lights in a row. They are like a Jerome goal. About four times a year but always very welcome and worth waiting for. Or big victories, the toll booth is stuffed and you get a free trip through the cross city tunnel. That's like winning the League cup. A once in 46 years thing...
So what kind of trip into work was the Blackburn game. At times we picked the right lane and made real flash Jags look Hyundai's. Bowyer scoring with a header in amongst Nelsen, Samba and Olsson. Then occasionally we looked like we were saving the environment by riding to work on a Raleigh Chopper through 16 miles of carbon monoxide poisoning!! That was Ridgewells slip up which left him looking very pedestrian against a Hoilett 911. The first half was the game. Given a gust of wind Seb could have had us 2 up instead we were level at the break. The second half was a crawl to our destination with glimmer of Green in the sea of Red traffic lights. In the wash up of the weekend the draw saw us pulling into the parking lot a space in front of the Villa. Only for them to get a flyer and find a space closer to the front door than us. Thanks to Newcastle driving slower than Johnny Herbert.
We really do need to be sitting in a fast car when Stevie Bruce brings Sunderland to town next weekend. Because we are against it with trips to Liverpool and Chelski queuing up behind them and only the six point visit of Wolves to look forward too. So anyone got a spare Jetpack or helicopter we use??
