Does anyone else find that their social life is getting more and more interwoven with the football fixtures as they get older? I never thought it was, but I'm starting to think otherwise.
For a start, about 6 weeks back, when it was the end of the season and there were Champions League games regularly with english teams in and an FA Cup final, my mates near me were out twice a week easily with the logical excuse being football. Since then, its like they've all gone into hibernation and devoted all their spare time to topping up their tans, even with the Euros just being on. And in fact, our friendships seem to be intrinsically linked with the game, offering up all our best excuses to met up and many of our most fun days out. I've realised as well that without SUFC matches, I don't get to pop home nearly as much and haven't seen many good mates / family members for a while either.
Its even odd at work, as without football to dissect in the mornings we're having to talk about things like F1 and Mugabe. Is this what a world without football would be like?
Full of more informed, attentive, open minded males and loving devoted fathers? Or is this why so many of you own Football Manager - to make June & July go that little bit faster?
