A big apology for the lack of recent update.
There are a couple of reasons for this...
Firstly, I have been working quite a few hours these last days. A complete schedule of 7 days, which will continue on until Thursday- a run of 11 days straight. A 10-hour shift on Friday, 8 hours Saturday and the same today, and I've had barely a minute to myself...
Secondly, there has been hardly a thing to note in the footballing world.. well nothing that I feel of such importance. There have been a few matches in the Women's Football World Cup; a story about Equatorial Guinea nearly causing an upset against heavily favoured Norway- 80-1 odds didn't stop them holding the Norwegians to 0-0 until 8 minutes from time; Brazil and Venezuela drawing 0-0 tonight and some other minor stories.
So, that's that.. I can certainly say, I'm looking forward to all the footballers coming home from their family holidays. I'll even be happy when the Far-Eastern or American friendly tours have finished. It's when the home friendlies take place that I start to feel the excitement coursing through me. When United play Shrewsbury, Arsenal play Barnet, Tottenham play Bishop's Stortford and so on, that's when the interest really comes. The paper's re-fill with rumour, but this time the rumours start to have more founding, and a percentage of them actually come true. The new football kits are revealed, season tickets are pretty much sold out; teams parade their new signings in their new shirt and gradually, the Australian pools start to eke away, replaced by pontins... Fantastic times lay ahead!
While we're here, I'd welcome any thoughts on the following question:
If rumoured transfers come true, who will be the most effective signing of the season?
I look forward to your thoughts.
