This evening I went to Twerton Park to watch the Bath City Youth take on Tiverton Youth in the FA Youth Cup. Some 120 miles away, Arsenal seniors played Slavia Prague in the UEFA Champions League.
- The “Bath Babes” lost 3-0. Arsenal won 7-0.
- The football I watched was playground stuff. Arsenal’s was sublime.
- The referee at Twerton was teaching the boys how to play; whereas the official at The Emirates was struggling to communicate with all the different nationalities.
- The lino at Twerton had a beer belly and man breasts. The linesman at The Emirates had a tan and botox treatment.
- I paid £2 to get in. Some Gooners were charged in excess of £200.
- I stood with two other City fans, pitchside in an otherwise empty stand. Arsenal fans were packed like sardines, hundreds of feet up, in their superbowl-style stadium.
- I stood shivering hoping I wouldn’t catch hyperfermia. Arsenal fans enjoyed their warm, heated seats. At least four fans now have piles.
- I forced down a bottle of Coke and a Crunchie bar. Arsenal fans dined on prawn sandwiches and caviar; all washed down with lashings-upon-lashings of Cava.

- Living A Fantasy
It's been a while since I took Fantasy Football seriously. However, now that Leeds are a Premier League side and will therefore be included in all the fun, I thought it would be rude bot to get involved myself...

Considering that Leeds are now a Premier League team, is it time to start collecting stickers again?

Now that the play off final has been won - congratulations to Fulham - we know the 20 teams in the Premier League next season.
This excites me greatly...
... - A Stress-Free Evening
This evening, I am watching the Championship Play Offs. I have to admit that I am loving tonight's match!
I have no alligence to the clubs involved - Brentford or Swansea - there is another reason why I am so enthralled with the game...
Leeds aren't involved!
Being officially the best team in the league - as well...
About Me
So you stumbled across my blog. No doubt after searching for something bizarre on Google. Before you hit that 'Back Button', why not stay and have a read for a few minutes?
If you are after a website which gives advice on how to hack an iPhone X, download the latest Steven Seagal movie, or view nudy ladies, you've come to the wrong place and may now press 'Back'.
However, if you would like a lifestyle blog, written by a 30-something chap, living in Bath (England), feast your eyes on this.
You won't discover how to copy PlayStation 4 games. What you will find is a blog, covering life in the West Country, the highs and lows of supporting two unsuccessful football teams, while sharing a house with a wife and rabbit.
All written by a man, somewhere on the sanity-scale between normal and eccentric.
