It’s pretty irrelevant to me now.

A large part due to my mental health issues of recent years, the anxiety and stress of games on top of work and general life became something that I just couldn’t stand anymore so I distanced myself from football.

I got so angry at a match whilst Pardew was manager that I left after 60 minutes and from that point I just couldn’t see the point.

If I go now it’s for the social aspect and not the football.

I’m like you Des, I feel a bit sorry for middle and older aged people for whom it’s still a big part of their lives.

I prefer the NFL for watching now along with Discovery and National Geographic Channel along with anything murder related.
