My daughter learned there it was acceptable to shout on a terrace and Spurs will apparently change in the suite we’ve hired for our kids’ birthdays
When my daughter was little, I took her to watch Marine AFC play. Thrilled by the revelation that it was socially acceptable to shout your head off on the terrace, she yelled: “Come on you
Football match!!” She never uttered a truer sentiment. For a few blissful moments the crowd behind her took up the chant. It was empowering.
And, Football Match did indeed come on. This Sunday, it’s Marine’s turn to embody the magic of the FA Cup when they play Spurs – currently something like 160 places ahead of them, the biggest discrepancy at this stage in the competition’s history. José Mourinho’s team will apparently be using the Arriva Suite – which we’ve hired for our kids’ 18th birthdays – as their changing room.
