Incorporating football in to my busy schedule




Apologies for the lack of blogs recently but I've been following the football because it's pretty cool atm.

Even though my beloved England are no longer in the World cup I thought I would post a blog about how one should conduct themselves in a football loving crowd.

  1. Dress code - A lot of people wear football strips to football matches/the pub when a match is on. Despite this I would recomend wearing: Skinny jeans, pointy shoes & Fred Perry shirt. A winning combination.
  2. Knowing who to support - This is often dependant upon where you are. I reccomend trying to stand out by supporting a different team to the majority. For instance throughout the World Cup I've supported The Blues, The Greens, The Reds, amongst others. (Using colours saves time that would otherwise be spent remembering names of teams)
  3. Shouting the right things - If like me you go to the pub once every few months, you may be accustomed to people shouting things during football games. I've never really grasped the concept of what they're saying, so rather than try I just shout "FOOTBALL!" in any given situation. 
Half time is a very valuable part of any football game. I typically spend them practising my chat up lines on men (so I can see how they go down before I try them on women) and talking about my blog to various football fans.

In one half time recently I wrote a poem entitled "Oh, I'm unhappy":



Sitting on the train back up north (love it)
thinkin of morrissey and palestine ( :/ )
all i wanna do is go to the seaside just like the kooks do
man i miss you

take me to the hare and hounds and 42s
oh please take me !
because i want the one i cant have and its driving me mad !
man i miss that place

but i know all i do is go home, listen to morrissey, smoke a cigg and drinks some heavy coffe
because im cool like that...
or am i :/









I got a bit to into it and ended up missing the second half of the match and crying a little bit in the pub.







Anyway, I have to go and take down all the England flags from the front of my house. I have a huge one hanging from my bedroom window that I plan to replace with a 12 foot canvas of this:



It's going to cost a modest £489, a sound investment.
