Went to see Spurs at home to Chelsea on Saturday. Had an early start. Got up to Tottenham about 11.15, met with some friends, then went to our regular pub for the pre-match buildup. Left a bit earlier than usual, expecting there to be a big line at the turnstiles, but to our surprise it was the quietest we'd ever seen it -- I think everyone had gone in even earlier than us, to beat the crowds!!!! We started well, but then the ref decided to send off one of our forwards, Mido, and the tide turned. I didn't think it was a booking offence at the time, and when I saw it on the TV afterwards, I DEFINITELY didn't see anything worth a red card!!! It's crazy, in this age of advanced technology, that the safeguards aren't in place to stop a stupid, over-eager ref from ruining a game. There should be camera playback available, so that key decisions such as this can be called correctly. But then again, I guess the moaning and sense of an unjustice being done are part of what make football so interesting and involving!!! Anyway, we lost 2-0 in the end, and I stormed off in a huff. I was especially annoyed that our manager didn't play Robbie Keane -- I'm a huge Keane fan, and think he's one of our very best players, but sadly our manager doesn't see it that way.

Returned to our regular for a few drinks, then went up the West End with one of my friends. (Dave English -- he has a cameo appearance in "Demon Thief", so watch out for him!!) We went to a pub, then to a nightclub -- the Roadhouse, in Covent Garden. It's not often that I go clubbing -- it isn't really my scene -- but we had a bit of fun, dancing atrociously to some truly awful music!!! Got home about 03.00 and hit the sack.

Came back home to Limerick on Sunday. Felt quite rough, but not too bad -- I don't really get drunk when I drink, as I pace myself and try not to overindulge, so I don't suffer from bad hangovers. Opened my post back home, watched a film ("The Band Wagon", a classic old-style musical), had a bath (my first for a few months -- I prefer to shower in the summer, but was tired last night, so fancied a long, relaxing soak), then went to bed shortly after midnight.
