Football Widows

Here we are again... What is it? - the Champions League - No no no, thats finished and apparently it's the end of the season HOORAY us women say
But hang on, there is still tons of football on the telly - So really the end of the season just means the UEFA European Championship is starting!!! It's not the end of the season... is there ever an end or is it just like a mirage on the desert horizon?

My man will be here at home, or at work and away, and SOOOOOO glued to the telly that we will only get to have sex, (that will be if the team he is supporting does win, if they don't - maybe rough sex or probably just forget it LOL! ) Its madness, the meals, kids homework, trips to the laverie, supermarket and Everything (with a capital E) will now revolve around the UEFA timetable!

I can understand we all have a passion for our hobbies - For example I love to paint, but its something I would do by myself, not inflicting it on the family - not something that changes the whole routine and involves a lot of noise and jumping off the sofa from time to time...?!? (you know what I mean girls!?)

From a lady who was not born like Helen on Soccer AM, and has never really had a passion for the WHOOOAAAAR GWAAAN MY SON OOOH WHAT A SHOT kinda stuff, I find football a right pain in the "slender brown would love to show it off in a thong... side".

What gets my goat the most is the money thing... they earn HOW MUCH? and they do what really and truly..? what.. they play a game with a ball, is that IT? - my kids could do that from about 8 months... !!

All this transfer, buy a player and keep him on the side kind of rubbish.. The only thing football clubs could be (possibly) good for in my eyes is shares.. and even those are hard to come by. I tried to buy some Liverpool shares for my "waiting after 15 years still to be husband" recently and they were impossible to purchase.. if anyone knows how to get them please tell me now.

Yes all this money getting paid to players who do nothing, some of them have been sacked and they still get paid megga bucks - its ridiculous really. I mean good luck to them and their wives (especially their wives - how many Jimmy Choo's and Manolos could a day's money buy? that would be like heaven I suppose!) but look at all the supporters and the people who watch on TV from their 1 bedroom council flat.. is it really fair that football heros kick a ball and get that versace outfit in a minute? Really? Please can someone justify this for me.

So for the next month or two, a football widow I am, please feel free to email me direct at: ypountney@hotmail.com and we can compare notes.. I'll print your dillemmas too on here as more evidence against the game!!!

Gone - to flick between UEFA/Tennis/F1 and Cricket - oh what a "superb" choice! LOL
