| Report | With their league campaign
gaining momentum like a paraplegic elephant on prozac, Spartak return to cup
exploits this weekend knowing that they are one game away from a place in the final.
Of course they are also one game away from fuck all so the stakes are getting
high.
The date for this fixture is Feb 29th, a
leap year day that occurs once in four, which is kind of symbolic as Spartak seem to
show up and play properly about once in four games. After the dismal debacle against
the Darley lads last weekend Spartak will have to show a lot more composure,
presence and sheer energy if they are to hope to beat Orange House.
As the season draws to a close, surely the cups are
Spartak's only hope for glory. Unless there is a tear in the Space Time Continuum
promotion to Division One now seems a taller order than asking Roy Keane to eat a
prawn sandwich. |
