White Hart Lane - Tottenham Hotspur 4 Liverpool 0

Sunday 18th September 2011

This game was another first for me, having never witnessed a Spurs home game against Liverpool. I travelled down to this one with Willie (no, not joined at the hip!) and my son.

We decided to travel some of the way from Perth on the Saturday, staying at a Travelodge at Grantham. We were up nice and sharp on the Sunday and arrived in N17 in plenty of time for the half one kick off.

After parking up at The Irish Centre on Pretoria Road we headed to the Spurs shop before the now customary visit to Pandoos near WHL Station. Such a cracking little place for a feed. The chicken wrap and spicy rice was out of this world!

After our feast we strolled back along towards the ground and were in our seats a few minutes before kick - off. We were all a little nervous, but our blistering start soon helped ease that with Luka Modric expertly putting us one up after ten minutes with a fantastic dipping shot from 20 yards.

It was really a barrage towards the Liverpool goal, but it just seemed we couldn't get that important second goal.

The second half was a different story with two excellent Adebayor finishes and a single Defoe goal giving us a comprehensive 4-0 win.

Liverpool had Adam and Skrtl sent - off, but frankly they could have had 12 players on the day and it wouldn't have mattered.

Molinuex - Wolverhampton Wanderers v Tottenham Hotspur

Saturday 10th September 2011

This was my third trip to Wolves' home, and in the previous two visits had seen the home side defeat QPR 2-1 in a Championship game in 2004 and a 3-3 cracker with Spurs in March this year.

For this one i travelled down with Willie. We left Perth at the back of 5am, and were in Wolves by about 11am where we met up with Wolves fan Gareth and his pal. I had first met Gareth 3 or 4 years ago at a fans football tournament hosted by Queens Park Supporters, and for a good couple of hours we had the crack in the pub (Willie and i were the only Spurs fans in there - 'Cover your colours mate' asked the bouncer. 'Our jackets also have the cockerel on though mate' i retorted. 'Yeah, that's ok though mate' - Strange i thought, but we were allowed to stay and i wasn't going to argue!)

We left the pub at quarter to three, and got to the away end at five to, but had to wait on another Spurs fan, Baz, who had Willies ticket.

Finally we were in a minute or so after kick - off. Scott Parker and Adebayor were making their Spurs debut in the sunshine and The travelling Spurs fans were in fine voice as we dominated without causing too many problems early on.

Into the second half and we finally made our domination count when the two new boys combined for 1-0 with  Adebayor rounding the keeper to score. Defoe made it two with ten minutes left for a deserved 3 points that lifted us off the foot of the table.

Playing at Meadowbank Stadium

Sunday 28th August 2011

Having only joined Queens Park Supporters FC this season it was a good piece of fortune that my second game for my new team would be at Meadowbank Stadium, Edinburgh. Now home to East of Scotland League side Edinburgh City, it was of course the former home of the long gone Meadowbank Thistle.

Although not a particularly brilliant Stadium, with it's utilitarian look, it was still an interesting place to play a proper game. Built for the Commonwealth games that took place in Edinburgh in 1986, the ground hardly has a long footballing history (indeed Meadowbank flitted out in 1995, eventually becoming today what is known as Livingston), but nevertheless an important one.

For the record we won the game 5-4 to lift the Meadowbank Trophy, which had last been played for 9 years ago.
