Another reflection on the Spurs game yesterday and Manchester United

The town of Tontenham is in tough shape it appears. Lots of closed places and looks like it has been hit hard by business environment. It is crazy that there is place right in the middle of it where people make 20-50 thousand pounds a week.

The town is very Islamic and of other colors (other than white!) I had a pint (OK, two pints) ina  pub that was owned and run by a consortium of Rastas and white woman. I saw a Beyonce video for the first time. The place became packed ultimately for the match at 1:30.

The crowd was very different from the Leyton Orient family-type atmosphere I saw. Almost all guys, pretty bitter at just about everything and very business-like. I was surprised by the orderliness of the beer situation-can;t bring it in the seats, people sit down for the match, and the sections of the stadium are very reserved for "home" or "visitor" seating. People have asked me in both matches who I was for and my naive response was "'I am just here for the soccer"   One guy called me a "Mad Yankee"-I assume the mad means I am a pycho..............
