Remembering that time my dogs were possessed by the spirit of early 'Tears For Fears'.
A hairy lurcher and terrier look moodily to their right. They are seated in the back seat of a car and look like they have had a tiff.

‘So Agatha:- do you remember what I said during our training yesterday, my sweet girl?’
‘Yeah. Wax on, fuck off; blah, blah, blah…’
A furious kitten stares furiously at her patient human.

I know what you mean, but my last ‘home’ game was a Cotterill one - so I’m long overdue.
No family in Burnley now, so there will be a hotel bill as well.
Then my wife will have to take over my carer duties.
It’s hard to plan, then the threat of a game being moved - which curtailed my last trip.

I hope to catch a match at some point this season, but something generally goes wrong. :-)

I’d imagine it’s so much worse than anything I can imagine, too.

I think that’s probably it too. Once you’re older, settled with a family and a bit of life experience, football takes a back-seat somewhat.

Even when I moved to Ireland, I was well into the England games initially. Just can’t relate any more, it’s all so weird.

I’ve only been to one, a friendly against Sweden at Old Trafford in 2001. Things were ‘alright’ then, to be fair.

I’m listening… Delicious fingers. I’ll rest on these chunky thighs. I’ve trained my human well today. I’ll break him by Thursday.

She is certainly not the passive cuddly kitten I took in. I’ve been had. I’m just a solid body to parkour off now.
