ciderbeans Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 sooo now follows two weeks of boredom after being chucked into the football abyss by the international (boring) break. Absolutely pointless watching international football as it is drab at its best and uninspiring. National pride doesnt even come into it. I just want the football league back for the real football and to continue my excitement of the season ahead. im going cold turkey already! what can i do?!

Know the Score Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Take car. Go to bookies. Put bets in. Grab the mates, go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over. How's that for a slice of fried gold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 I haven't told Mrs Robbo that City don't have a game this weekend. If she finds out I'll end up on a shopping trip or doing various jobs that I'd usually do on a Sunday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Luckily 'her in doors' doesn't have a clue about football so wouldn't know if we were playing or not! When I get home from a match she always says the same 'have a nice time' and then I tell her about the day when I know she aint listening, then she says 'Oh I'm glad you had a nice time' I swear I could leave the house at 12ish Sat, go to the pub then come home at 7ish then when she says 'have a nice time' I could say 'we beat Newport County 26 Nil' 'I got shagged senseless at half time by 6 Swedish Cheerleeders' 'I lost 5 grand in the Casino' 'I'm leaving you for your Sister' :tounge: then she'd say 'Oh I'm glad you had a nice time' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of football on TV if a) you have satelite or cable b) you don't mind watching lower league stuff. Take car. Go to bookies. Put bets in. Grab the mates, go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over. How's that for a slice of fried gold? Love it.

Anglia Red Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Take up something else, I fish (yea i know) but it is a fantastic way to spend time, either fishing the carp puddles, or as I do the Severn and other Rivers. Plenty of such like around the Bristol area, and if you think fishing is not exciting, I hooked into a 12 plus barbel on Sunday night that fought like a banshee!! Love football love fishing, but City is my 'life' and fishing my pleasure. Thankfully my faith is my life and city is my pleasure- I find God doesn't let me down and this way its not a disaster when city lose. If football is your "religion" it has a terrible habit of dissapointing you. Just my thoughts and opinion - I don't expect you all to agree.

Almost with you on this one but life is my religion,football is sometimes a pleasure, either way they both got a nasty habit of kicking you in the teeth ( metawhatsisface speaking that is ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love football love fishing, but City is my 'life' and fishing my pleasure. Sounds Ok, but playing "what to do while there's no football" top trumps, I think sniper's alternative just shades it! I swear I could leave the house at 12ish Sat, go to the pub then come home at 7ish then when she says 'have a nice time' I could say 'we beat Newport County 26 Nil' 'I got shagged senseless at half time by 6 Swedish Cheerleeders' Not sure whether the 26-0 or the 6 swedish cheerleaders is the clincher though!

If she finds out I'll end up on a shopping trip or doing various jobs that I'd usually do on a Sunday... I got a mate who still manages to explain time spent having a couple of pints after a game as being down to playing extra (not added) time. These are league games! Can't believe he still gets away with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relaxing in the countryside, what better way to spend the day when there's no football? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
