| Another week, another cup. Thank
Christ! After a water deluged bruising trouncing at the weekend Spartak will retreat
to the comfort zone of a cup competition this week to lick their wounds and
hopefully make it 100% progression in all cups so far this season.
Their inexplicable inability to close out games they
have dominated in the league doesn't seem to have translated to their cup runs where
they have strolled up to now. If a trophy is to grace the Spartak Cabinet this year,
then it seems that a cup is the most likely route (because a trophy in
the league is about as likely as George Bush spelling 'chrysanthemum'
or 'dog'). Who knows they may even win three cups and the Cabinet may
have to be enlarged to include something other than a wooden spoon rack.
The competition this week are
Genetics who have come on a lot this season and are no longer the whipping boys of
the division so Spartak will have to play up to standard (hopefully not their own
standard, but one of some better team) to hopefully progress. And who knows, by the
weekend most of the kit may even have dried out! |
