The North London Divide | Where Arsenal and Tottenham Collide!

There are times in life that you know who your mates are. Today is one of those days.

My co-author Mabbs is supposed to be a pal of mine even though he is a Spud. I can deal with that and I even put up with it but today he crossed the line.

About five minutes before the Spuds started against Aston Villa I had a vision of them winning 2-1. I didn’t have time to put on a bet with it being so close to kick-off so I thought I’d ring a well-known betting man, my friend Mabbs, to do it on-line.

Unfortunately for me Mabbs had decided to turn off his mobile and for some reason wouldn’t answer his house phone. I tried about 25 times but to no avail.

Around 20 minutes into the game, when the Spuds were already one-up, he decides to ring me back. I tell him what I wanted and he says that the way the game was going I’d have no chance anyway. He said the way Villa were playing they would beat Tottenham about 7-1.

I rang Mabbs on full-time NOW  knowing the game had ended 2-1 to Tottenham and he laughed. He thought it was funny that he hadn’t put the bet on but was adamant it was OK because Tottenham had secured fourth place for Arsenal.

What a tosser!

Mabbs, the Spuds may have helped Arsenal’s cause (although of course not directly) but it would have felt a lot better knowing I’d have won money on it too!

Cheers Mabbs………..
