Civil War

Blimey! The boys are fighting amongst themselves! See the comments on my post From Factories To Foxes on 26th March.

Of course, I am assuming they are boys. They don't actually say so. But call it an educated guess.

Don't mind me boys. You just carry on amongst yourselves. I have work to do. Quite a lot of it it would seem as I can't make much sense of what either of them are saying and I certainly have no idea which, if any, of what they say is true.

I don't care though if I am honest. Which doesn't necessarily make me a bad person.

But it does seem to suggest that there is a lot more to 'doing' football' than just finding out about the game and the people that play it. Apparently you have to have a view on all the politics of it. The sociological importance. The political angles.

And there I am - I don't even know who plays for my team. I really should think about finding out because they play their first match tomorrow (that is first since I became their fan which is obviously a milestone in their history even though they are not aware of this yet). Against Stoke City. Away. (Revision tip - this means The Foxes are playing at Stoke's ground).

I expect you are hoping I am going to make a prediction about the score. I don't intend to disappoint you.

I have researched the matter carefully. Looked at the message boards to see what the "well educated in doing football" have to say. And then I tossed a coin and I can tell you the score will be 2 -1 to Stoke.

You wait and see. I will be right.
