I don’t normally watch football on TV apart from the games involving Arsenal that (obviously) I can’t get to. But this weekend has been somewhat different from normal, and I have ended up at home alone on Sunday evening. So with nothing better to do (which basically means nothing to do) I turned on the TV to watch Manchester United and Tottenham Hotts.
And I have to say I can’t recall ever seeing such a load of old turnips since I last watched matches in the Spartan League.
It is, as I write this, still on, and inevitably it is 0-0 unless someone scored while I was asleep. Some players have just hit each other, though.. The commentators are trying to talk it up a bit, but even they have to admit this is tired tripe. Although they do speak of things being better “in the last couple of minutes”.
If you are doing nothing and have access to Sky Sports, you might want to a) pour yourself a stiff drink and then b) excuse yourself in terms of your family and friends and watch this. It is utterly, utterly awful. But set the alarm for five minutes. I am not sure it is safe to watch for longer.
Tottenham have failed to score a single away goal this season. Just thought I would add that . .
