I went over to my friend Mark's house yesterday morning to watch the soccer match between Tottenham and Newcastle. Mark is a Tottenham fan, but his all-time favorite team is Newcastle, and Newcastle just plain embarassed Tottenham, beating them by a score of 6-1. Tottenham was down 5-0 during the first half alone. There is a Tottenham fan club here in Denver that meets at Esters Neighborhood Pub to watch the matches, which we have sometimes attended, but since the game started at 7:00 A.M., we watched a recording of the game instead. And I am very glad that we didn't show up at Ester's. There are a lot - and I mean a lot - of Tottenham fans there. The club is run by Prudence and Keith, a couple of British ex-pats, and I would be afraid that if we went there with Mark wearing his Newcastle jersey, as he is in the photograph above on the right, the two of them would have beaten us up. Those guys take their soccer seriously.
