Tonight I'm missing my first game of the season. Already the jaundiced view of the 'team' has returned from last season. Not that it needed much encouragement, but Villa and Bolton managed it dead easy.
Even that lovely personal message from Avram about the quality of the performance against Bolton wasn't enough to tempt me. I know whistling in the wind when I hear it. I've heard it often enough over the years at West Ham.
Even the lowest price for more than a decade couldn't tempt me. There are lots better things to waste a tenner on. Like chucking it away.
The promise of a near full strength team couldn't do it either. Stregth being a relative concept.
So while I stay away, I shall still be flicking over to Sky Sports and watching the club website because I just can't ignore the fact that there's a match.
All I have to do is prepare myself for the Man Utd game via the telly on Saturday then.
And wait for Joel's temperate(?) take on the match, as he's the sole family representative there in person.
