Smiley, best be careful about tailgating comments, our Lewis hasn't exactly been doing us proud lately!
Well, having finally got out of my grump and decided to join the festivities, guess what? The police, unbelievably, spoilt the party last night. They effectively sealed off the centre of town to all traffic, so we had to rely on our voices alone (and of course a few loud hailers and fog horns) to make the required noise. I mean, how do they expect any civilized people to enjoy a party without the benefit of reving superbikes, unsilenced mopeds and car horns? They even drained all the fountains before full time. The atmosphere, at least compared to Thursday night, was actually rather subdued - not much different to an average weekend night in T-town. Bit of an anti-climax, really.
Whatever your allegiance (even German), I don't think anyone can deny that Spain were worthy winners of the title. Well done, chicos! So, if 44 years is a good space between trophies, that means at the World Cup in 2010................................
