Having maintained, for the last twenty years, a somewhat snooty and snobbish attitude and complete disengagement with the FA Barclaycard Premiership or whatever the thing is called, I found myself just now listening avidly, whilst doing the washing up, to a match between Wolverhampton Wanderers (I wasn't sure they still existed) and apparent table-toppers Manchester City - yes City! Whilst the atmosphere seemed a bit flat and they kept stopping the game to refer to some bloke called Mr Veeyayarr (or something), it did still sound like football. Town will surely do well in there next season because apparently old Al 'Finger' Haaland is still playing for the leaders! I did actually, for the first time since the end of the game today, shed a little tear or two into my Fairy Liquid suds. Well, we've got no choice - we have to engage with that monster next year because.......................................... "WE ARE PREMIER LEAGUE, SAY WE ARE PREMIER LEAGUE!
