This is hard but I have to be honest.
On Saturday evening I knew we were going to bet hammered. So what did I do? I hid basically, I didn't follow the game on the computer, local pub, radio or anything , I got a few cans out, put a film on at 5.20 and pretended it wasn't happening.
My plan was to sneak a quick look at this morning's paper to see what the extent of the humiliation was but after the film I put ceefax on at 7.30 and decided to bite the bullet.
I could not believe the score Norwich 1-0 Arsenal (Holt 19) and checked it several times. When I went to bed it was like having an extra birthday, I couldn't believe it I was so happy I couldn't sleep, my other half was thrilled of course. I am 54 and should know better, I should not have doubted and now I have made public my apology. I will be tuning in for the Villa game now.
