Sometimes passion just ain't enough
Despite a tiring day, I stayed awake until 7am this morning to watch Rover's Carling Cup quarter-final match against Arsenal (Reserves).
The match started at 4am, I tonged until 6am. Then extra time came, which I duly followed them til 7am, despite the lousy stream and tiring body.
But they lost. In extra time. Haiz.
And I had a bikequest meeting in NUS at 11am!
Football fans are stupid. Despite things happening so far away, they always think they have a hand in the bad things happening to their team.
For Rovers' losses to Villa, West Ham, and Wigan, I did not watch them and they lost. For Newcastle, Spurs and Man City, I watched and they won.
So I thought watching Rovers against Arsenal would 'give them some luck'. Well, it was not meant to be.
It doesn't get any crappier than this.
3 semis in 3 seasons under Mark Hughes, 4 in 4?
Now we need a FA Cup run already.
Come on Rovers, you can do it.
Fight.
