I am angry. I am angry. I am angry.
I went to more than 10 pubs to enquire if they are showing the big match today!!! Checked their huge plasma screens, salivated when they said, 'Oh yes', looked at me as if I had so lost the plot. And then I said, "You know I am asking since the football finals are on today as well". The next moment was exactly the same response in every single pub. Pin drop silence. Blank, confused and absolutely dazed expression.
The weirdest thing to me was that some of them didn’t even know Federer express was playing with the new Mike Tyson of tennis, Nadal. All they knew was France Vs. Italy. Bunch of hooligans I tell ya.
So I said screw it all and decided to screw open my best bottle of Hardy’s Crest vintage white that I had saved for my special date and settle in my couch with all my cushions and a bag of my favourite nut mix. That’s it, I am not letting these spoil sports spoil my sport.
Hope you enjoy the Wimbledon finals with your family and friends unlike me this year in a new country of football hooligans….. And the host of the world’s best and Classiest Tennis Tournament of all.
Catch you guys after the match…..

PS - I am rooting for KING of grass, Federer.... I'm saying this right now so that you don't accuse me of backing the winner after the match blog!
