A footy fix for Tys
Went to my first ever football game last night, Kate's cousin got his hands on some season tickets his work have, and invited me, Kate and his brother to the game. Made my way after work to Upton Park, over an hour on the train, to the home of West Ham Utd who were playing Liverpool last night. These two play each other in the FA Cup Final in a week or two, so the teams weren't full strength, but still a great game to watch. The atmosphere was amazing, pretty funny, everyone just sings and chants the entire game. Stadium was full at 34,000 but they are just as loud as an MCG crowd. Pretty entertaining game, Liverpool won 2-1 but there were a heap of shots on goal, 2 red cards and nearly a fight. We sat right in the middle of the die hard West Ham supporters known to be pretty crazy, and Kate's cousins are both Liverpool supporters, so each time Liverpool scored the two of them starting yelling and clapping, until they realised where they were, and quickly sat down and shut up, it was pretty funny.
Anyway last night has got me more excited about next weekends trip to Manchester. Spending the Sat night there and watching Man U play there last game this season at Old Trafford on the Sunday. Have to work on Sat so I will have to spend the 5 hour bus ride up there with my iPod.
