I'm sorry but anybody who can get remotely 'up for' this selection of international football boredom festivals that are arranged for this weekend probably needs an enima from Dr Seward from Dracula Dead and Loving it. For me the only purpose these intermissions of proper football provide is when we're on a poor run of [...]
So for England the dream of a World Cup final dies and much like most of my life it happens wondering why the national team have always fallen short. Perhaps it's in the collective national psyche, because for a nation with the money, the domestic league, plus the talent in some positions, one World Cup [...]
Morning folks! How y'all doing? It's good times for me, on account of this unusually warm weather we've got in the UK, which is what us Brits have always said we'd find absolutely acceptable in the summer given we have to go through drizzle, grey and grim sh*t for most of the year. The sun [...]
I spend a lot of my time trying to convince The Management - and probably myself as well - that I don't really care about England or international football. And I suppose for the most part that's true; I don't tend to watch the friendlies, I won't make sure I'm near a TV when the [...]
Sometimes it's comforting to know that things don't always change. I'll be honest with you; after Germany lost to Mexico in their opening group game at the weekend for the first time in like a billion years, then England had a first half in which they played brilliantly by-and-large, I thought we must have been [...]
It's a week to go and although I'll get into the World Cup when it comes around, it's hard to get too excited about this round of friendlies, especially when they are a right royal pain in my arse when it comes to my journey home. I take the Met Line from Moorgate to Uxbridge [...]
Bleugh. International friendly weekend. The most pointless of all weekends. Can't be dealing with it. So I think I'll just not. There are plenty of other things out there to focus on. Like finding out a way to filter out people who constantly sniff on the tube. Or conclusively solving the issue of the constantly [...]
Happy Friday folks. Looking forward to the weekend? No? Why not? Is it because there is practically zero football on that is worth thinking about or watching? Internationals, eh? They’re like a six month check up to the dentist; thoroughly unwanted. Incidentally I’ve decided to compound my own misery by having to do that this [...]

There's nothing like a series of international football to do the dirty work of the Premier League. The fact I saw people tweeting last night about when the Premier League returns shows you just how tedious the game was. Quite an advert for it, I'd even go as far to say. The Premier League must [...]
