So what’s so good about Wanaka, New Zealand then? Ok, its got a lake. Everywhere round here has lakes, big deal. It has shops and restaurants, which singles it out quite a bit more. Mountains, yeah, beaches, right, sunshine and prettiness, blah, blah, blah. But what makes it really special is that Spurs won here. Well, they weren’t here, they were actually in Cardiff, but they won when I was here. And that’s the important part.

Because when Spurs win, I am happy. I am joyous. Life is richer, grass is greener, sun is shinier, everything just… just… just better. Same whether I’m at home or away. But some may have noticed that I made virtually no mention of Spurs rather tragic home loss to Wolves the other day. And that’s what’s really good about Wanaka, I can do the grown up version of sticking my hands over my ears and shouting “NAAH NAAAH NAAAH NAAAH…” I just use my new app on the phone. It’s called ‘GoonerBlock’ and, unlike sunblock, insect-block, any other block, it really works. It restricts all access to texts, messages and facebook from any Arsenal fans for the entire time until Spurs win again. Then its released. Otherwise I couldn’t gloat and be smug and horrible. And we wouldn’t want that, would we?

Wanaka, like most places over here, ranks as the most beautiful… ever. We cycled round the lake and just found staggering views everywhere. No TVs, showing the highlights, that would have been nice, but views of, mountains, lakes, rivers and shit.

Next week Spurs host Chelsea in the Carabao cup semi-final. And, following a wave of racial and anti-Semitic issues involving Chelsea fans, all of which have been aimed at Spurs fans, because Chelsea fans are stupid, there will be lots of crowd monitoring. Because if you go to Budapest and sing anti-Semitic, anti-Spurs songs, what will happen at ‘our house’? I hope David Baddeil comes along for the occasion. So he can realise that his fellow fan’s anti-semitism is nothing to do with Spurs fans adoption of ‘the Y word’ but just to the inherent nastiness and evil that Chelsea fans embrace so willingly.

Happy Wednesday
