JonF and Daniel had told us it was Sweden Day.

We started off with the Yellow Bibs playing rush keeper due to being a man down. The score was kept very close and at 2 - 1 to the Yellow Bibs a lone spectator asked if we needed a player. The Yellow Bibs welcomed this offer, but told him he would be replaced if JakeFlowers arrived.

The spectator then walked off, some said he had gone to change. Others, myself included, felt maybe we hadn't been warm enough in our welcome.

Players will remember that in the 2 May match report it was mentioned we had not scored a volley in ages. Well this evening the Orange Bibs crafted a pass which was flicked into the air for Dabiyani1995 to stroke into the net. Mission accomplished Dabiyani1995 scored the called for volley. These things are like London buses and soon after JonF flicked the ball up into the air again this time for Daniel to volley. It was as accomplished as the previous volley, despite the brilliant aplomb of the finish for some reason it was not awarded. I don't know why. We don't have action replays. Daniel got his compensation later on by bringing up his brace with a delicate dink over a diving keeper.

The spectator eventually reappeared in a Man Utd kit and told us his name was Kay. He evened the team numbers up and added goals of his own.

Basically the Oranges led for much of the match but gradually with Kay on board the Yellows began to pull it back. Luteusmaximus and then Anthonyto in goal for the Oranges performed heroics to slow the onslaught down. But the Yellow Bibs kept the pressure on as Tandrew turned the opposition inside out.

Andyhibbert claimed he had been sandwiched unfairly by Tandrew and VIIGeorgeVII. This was taken onboard but nothing was done. It was in essence the equivalent of a tall formidable player like Yaya Toure complaining that smaller players like Jesse Lingard and Luka Modric had out muscled him. The fixture had not seen this since the match when Ben claimed Shain kept using the dark arts to get the better of him.

Eventually as the Yellows pulled the score level at 10 - 10 the fixture noticed Andyhibbert on the ground in obvious discomfort. Daniel called for a foul and for the goal to be ruled out. Andy was asked what had happened. He grimaced and whispered "It was George". We all turned on VIIGeorgeVII. What had he done? VIIGeorgeVII was the picture of angelic innocence. We turned back to Andy and through clenched teeth he gasped "George pulled my arm". Daniel was told in no uncertain terms the goal must stand and the Oranges should jolly well get on with the game.

Luteusmaximus departed at just after 9pm. The Orange Bibs agreed to play on with a man less. We played into extra time.

At 11 - 11 the Grounds Manager (he is our friend) said no one else was coming so we could play on.

At 12 - 12 the natural light was nearly gone and we had not paid for the next hour so no floodlights. The Noble Draw was offered by the Yellows to the Oranges. It was rejected. The agreement was we would play Last Goal Wins.

The game became a cagey affair which was finally decided with a ball smashed in by Dabiyani1995 to give the Sweden Day victory to JonF and Daniel's Orange Bibs team.

Match awarded to the Orange Bibs 13 - 12.

Things to Note

We bid fond farewell to two players as we learned that Anthonyto and Tandrew are leaving for Australia and Grenada respectively. We salute them, wish them well and they will always be welcome back to Tottenham Wednesday FC.

The World Cup starts on 14 June 2018. If England do well please remember Gary Lineker was instrumental in helping shut down pre-tournament distractions with a simple tweet on 28 May 2018. Gary said what many of us may have thought for years on end. Now hopefully we can all relax and watch young lads play le beautiful game without being undermined from home.

And for those of us who can't get to Russia let's do it all again next match at Tottenham Wednesday FC .
