Now that the initial excitement of the return of football has worn off, I'm struggling to write stuff because frankly, I'm struggling to find anything of real interest at the moment. 

Maybe it's because I've missed so much of the Euros, which is in a large part due to the utterly poxy kick off times.  Anyone else noticing how most of the 'big' games have been scheduled to start at 5, while the boring shit gets the primetime slot?  5pm might be a good time for watching football if your idea of work involves standing in the dole queue or sitting in a student bar drinking Fosters, but I have a job. 

I enjoyed the 15 minutes I watched of tonight's game between the Turks and the Czechs.  I was going to watch the whole thing but the constant whistling of the Turkish fans (presumeably) and the constant moaning of Ray 'The Moan' Houghton put me off.  I decided to switch off and spend some time trimming my pubes, as that seemed like a more pleasant prospect.  I caught the last few minutes though, which was enough to see Chelsea's infallible keeper make another mess, a great Nihat finish and a Boro forward end up in goal. 

A shame it didn't go to penalties though, I bet Tuncay would have done better than Cech.

On the Arsenal front, signing Aaron Ramsey had me excited for about ten minutes.  Nice to get one over on the mancs, but really, it makes little difference to us at the moment.  We'll be sorted for central midfield in 2018 though.
