FA Cup
A home draw in the cup saw Saints home to Spurs and with a bargain ticket price of £10 it made it an incentive to go, with the added bonus of my Spurs supporting friend getting a ticket in the away end.
A delayed train journey meant SWR got a delay repay claim from me for the second time in a week and meant we could only do a couple of pubs beforehand.
After the rock pub, I decided to try the Angel which until recently had been closed for a good few years. This had a decent atmosphere with Britpop tunes and pre-match goers. The Menabrea ran out after a half pint was pulled so we got this free alongside our replacement Kronenbergs. This proved too exciting for my friend who dropped his nearly finished pint over his lap and sofa we were sitting on!
The game ended one all with Boufal getting a late equaliser meaning a replay in ten days which Spurs will charge £25 for. We met up after the game and went to the Giddy Bridge where I was able to see the Wetherspoons app in action and working for the first time. A nice Halloumi wrap for me and after a couple of speedy pints we were able to make the 18.30 train home to Clapham without incident or delays this time.
