I hate this time of the year

That's why cricket exists. Football winter, cricket summer.

In fact is was actually the other way round. Football was largely invented to give cricket teams something to do in the winter

It’s NOT a friendly. It’s a tournament with a proper trophy and medals and an open top bus parade and a day off. In our old age we will look the grainy Ultra 4K HD footage a remember when Engerland won the biggest game in international football.

This is one of the most prominent posters on my wall, placed in between Bobby Moore 1966 and Danny Blanchflower 1961.

Maybe association football which really started with public schools and a few sports clubs who wished to set some rules and organise a competition rather than the free for all which the game was, but football has been with us for centuries, is was banned during the 14th century as young men were neglecting their archery practice. I love cricket but the IPL money and the childlike version for people with limited attention span is going to kill county cricket, (stands by for an assault from the money is great phalanx) money ruins all sport as it take away the true ethos of the sport.

F U C K stupid editing

Thought it was a great time to obsess over every single name we see mentioned in the tabloids. Spend our entire day in front of the computer fantasising about potential lineups for next season or writing hate mail to that cheapskate Levy.
