'Are we watching football daddy?'

Saturday 30 January

The months nearly finished already people 1/12th of the way through the year already. Tomorrow shall be difficult. Super Sunday- Arsenal v Man Utd. I should pull through. I'm visiting my Gran at my Aunties house tomorrow after Church she doesn't have Sky Sports. My cousin is an Arsenal fan! He asked if I was watching the game. I need to publicise this blog more - he didn't even know about the challenge.

For those ardent followers who have begun this journey with me, you'll remember me saying a while ago that I'll revisit the conclussion of the 'How to wean a man off football' book. Well I've just done it and my thoughts are still the same. It's a poor conclussion. Basically, Alistair agreed that football obession isn't good and he should cut down his interest and Ronni stated that men with football are grumpy so take away the football and you can imagine the result. She felt that there was an over kill of a very popular sport and if it were banned it would simply go underground! Great conclussion. I'm writing to the publishers 'faber' to tell them that my material after 30 days is much better! Watch this space!!

I'll rewind 6 days, something I omitted from my blog on Monday. I went to watch tv with my wife in the evening and as we went to sit down my eldest daughter said 'are we watching football daddy? we haven't watched it for ages!' I think she's having withdrawal symptons. Her old trick to stay up late was to say to her Mum she wanted to watch football with her daddy!!! (For the record we watched 'Top Gear' which I had recorded Sky plus)
