Saints and Winchester
As I had the day off work Wednesday I left for football early deciding to stop and look round Winchester. A very nice city dominated by the Cathedral. Did three pubs in total including the Royal Oak, which suggests it is Britains oldest pub. The Savannah was next, where the lovely Molly served me. Molly was had blonde hair and a very short skirt & as well as being attrative was also very cheery and friendly as she served you. If it wasn't for Emily at the New Inn then she would have been a candidate for barmaid of the year! Finally I went to the Wetherspoons, The Old Gaolhouse. A typical spoons establishement also had an fit barmaid by the name of Hannah although she was not that friendly!
Onto the 4-3 thriller, and I can confirm I am on a roll! After backing Baird at 40-1 on Saturday, I was sensible with my quid and backed Kenwynne Jones ay 6-1. Sure enough he buried the first of three goals Saints scored in a mad five minute spell. Saints being Saints of course won the hard way by conceeding two in the second half before sub Bradley Wright-Phillips scored with his first touch. Birmingham got a late consolation which resulted in a pretty tasty fight between our goalie, Kelvin Davies and his team mate Chris Baird. Think Davies was winning beofre the players were pulled apart. Obviously the ref didn't see the punches and declined to caution either of them!
