In two and a half weeks you’ll be reminded that there is no Premier League, Champions League, or even Europa League for the following fortnight and you’ll piss and moan about it, so don’t say I didn’t warm you.
The upcoming break will be particularly hard because it’s going to come just before things start to open up again (hopefully) if you selfish fucks don’t ruin it for everybody.
I’ve said before the football being on gives us a welcome distraction while we can’t do anything. you can count down to 6pm and generally a game is about to start, and your evening can be spent watching 22 blokes run about.
But just as we’re on the cusp of being able to get a haircut or go for a meal or a pint outdoors, UEFA go and stuff it for everybody, by serving us with shit games and shit teams that will turn even the hard core football fans to find other things to do, like talk to the Mrs or the dog, in some cases the two are comparable, I’ll probably get shit on for that comment, but you know the old saying, any publicity is good publicity. And to be fair everybody who’s got a Mrs or a Mr reading this isn’t going to think “you know what, my Mrs is rough as dogs” so who knows I might get away with it.
I guess what I’m trying to say is unless it’s a tournament or you’re lucky enough to travel to watch your country play regularly, international football is tripe, and ruins the weekends for fans when it’s on instead of the league, although some of the games in the league aren’t much better. But weekends with The Premier League are better than ones without during the season.
So don’t forget in a few short weeks, when the clocks have gone forward and there is all that lovely time in evening to fun things like go for a long walk, or take the kids to the park in the later than you normally would, you’ll not have the excuse to watch football, because nobody will believe you when you say you want to watch Wales against Mexico.
