The Morning After Conversation: From London to Madrid

By Eric Beard. Trying something new. Responses and reactions welcome.

Tom (thinking): Oh my… Where on earth am I? London, still? God I hope so. WHAT. A. NIGHT. After the clock struck midnight though, bam! I can’t remember a thing! Remember the match perfectly though. Nothing like a little passion to show those Spaniards what England is all about. Seriously though, where am I? These bed sheets are so comfortable. This room is so clean. This flat is just all-around brilliant. What’s this? A note? And who could this be from? A girl named Poppy? You would, Tom. You would.

Poppy’s note: Morning Tom, help yourself to a shower and anything in the kitchen. Last night was absolutely wonderful. Wearing your Scott Parker shirt to work this afternoon. It’s a bit large, but I just couldn’t help myself. I put my number in your phone, which is charging by the desk. I get off from work at six this evening if you’re still up for Wagamama. Let me know. xx -Poppy


Tom: Holy Fabio! Calm down, Tom. You’ve done well. You’re shirtless, yes. But you’ve done well. Pull yourself together. Let’s take this one step at a time. First, breathe. Second, breathe again. Third, keep breathing. Okay, that’s enough steps dedicated to something you’ve done literally every minute you’ve been alive. Fourth, get up, get your phone, and call Connor.

Two Londoners. Two England Fans. Tom was at Wembley. Connor was in Madrid for business. This is their conversation the morning after England’s victory against Spain.

Borussia Dortmund’s video welcoming Arsenal fans to Dortmund for the Champions League. This will probably make every Gooner a closeted Dortmund supporter. You can support a team in every league right?

Arsenal Anthem (Keep The Faith) - by Danny Graft

Have to say that this has been stuck in my head, especially with witty lyrics like…

“But I can’t forget about The King. Henry did too many legendary things. F****** hero, hattrick at the San Siro. He did it for Bobby not DeNiro.”

“Six years pain, dreams in a drain. Feel like a war, man, it’s more than a game.”

Arsenal fan (and rapper) Danny Graft with a quality tune that will serve as a bit of therapy for most fans in North London after what has gone on these past few days.

The Premier League is here once more, willing to give us all the drama and subplots we could ask for from the beautiful game. Who’s ready for another season, another nine months of the best England has to offer?
