Every story has a beginning, middle and end. I suppose this story starts at the end of another story. âFor every sunset, thereâs a sunriseâ. Thatâs me cleverly quoting Doctor Who. But what I mean is that the end of one story can be the beginning of another, especially if the first story didnât have a happy ending. Hereâs the unhappy ending.
On 27th May 2013, 90,000 people, including myself, gathered at Wembley to witness the football match worth a record £120 million in TV money and a place in the Premier League: Watford Vs Crystal Palace. To make a long story short, Watford lost. This isnât great as I support Watford. But £120 million wasnât all we lost that day, oh no. I lost £2.50 to my friend in a bet.
Our hearts were broken; all we could do was dream of what couldâve happened, and play FIFA. Fast forward two months and weâre still playing FIFA. But weâre also raring for the new season, and all our misery of the defeat to Palace is forgotten, and as we do every season, Watford fans ramble on about how âweâre gonna win the league.â Except this time itâs more like âwe ARE gonna win the leagueâ. We better; I bought a season ticket.
