Last weekend was international break weekend. Once upon a time there would still be non-league football going on and thus the Mighty Saints would be the main focus. This time round of course no such luck, with the Conference South null and (Co)voided there was nothing for TLF to worry about (sorry Ingurland, I support you, I just don’t worry about you). And that did get me thinking that a weekend in the Football Free Zone is not necessarily a bad thing for the old stress levels.
You may think that the only cause of worry is will Lesta win, lose or draw but let me assure you there is a LOT more to worry about than that:
If they lose will they lose badly?
If they draw will it be a joyous last minute Foxes equaliser type of draw or an infuriating-ruin-the-weekend last minute goal conceded by the Foxes type of a draw?
Win, lose or draw will someone get injured, sent off (3 match suspension!) or play so well that they become the latest subject of transfer speculation?
And if we do win, what about the teams around us? How will they do? Because if they do better than us then that is an utter disaster. And if it’s Mr TLF’s ruddy Hammers then it is an utter DISASTER.
And it doesn’t stop there. TLF foolishly joined a prediction league this season. So now there are even more games to worry about; TLF should not be worrying about the results of Rochdale or Preston. No offence to those teams of course; it’s just I’ve only got so much worry to spare.
Particularly this weekend, when TLF’s approach to be watching Lesta V Man City will be similar to her approach to watching Dr Who when she was about five years old. Peeking out from behind the sofa…..
