Barely a month since the infernal world cup and here we are again with the Premiership set to bombard our television sets and betting offices with no hope in hell of the sight of civilisation as the booze flows as well as the blood of the innocent, what should I come across of the tele-box, YET ANOTHER INTERNATIONAL FOOTBALL GAME! By Jove! Will it never end, let us breathe for the love of all that is holy! I care not for this sport as you can tell dear reader, and I am aware it is the national sport although I cannot see how!?!?
Why must such a sport take up so much of a nations time? Whether on Sky or terrestrial it just seems to take precedence over all else! Why is it that this sport is associated unquestionably with the male gender, as I passed a chap in the street upon my way to the train station yesterday he wore one of those atrocious "comical" and "bloke" t-shirts, commending beer, football and chips while denouncing vacuum-ing and washing up.......*sigh*
I have no magical cure for such staining of society, but with a sport whose British clubs are in so much debt why have the players not been taken down to 3day working weeks like the good people of the textile or motor industry (is it because they don't work more then 3 days a week already?), all this debt yet with more spending, spending, spending? Is it not ironic in many respects (I wish not to sound like a follower of classim) that those who support the game most fanatically are perhaps the ones who have been hit hardest from the recession regardless of the 'growth' that's reported, are in fact the ones who hold these blasted bumbling ball bashing b*****d's in the regard?
Another pointless rant against something loved.
