Football's back but i don't really know if it should be but the Government need something to distract from all the people dying that they can't bring themselves to count properly.
Obviously my team, Arsenal, had their first comeback game against Manchester City and got duly thumped as expected but watching the game on TV with no crowd it did all seems very surreal and i'm not sure i liked it and not just because once David Luiz came on it was just waiting for the inevitable oops moment from him.
There did seem to be a rush to get it back going again, fueled mostly by the threat of clubs having to hand back millions of pounds of TV money if they never finished the season.
We now got wall to wall football but apart from the Arsenal games, i won't be indulging and if the 20/21 Football season is going to be the same, and it is looking as if it probably will, it is doubtful i will be paying that much attention next year either because it is just not the same.
There is talks of Health passports on your phone to show that you are Covid-19 free to allow supporters back in but why would anyone take that chance of being amongst 60,000 others just so you can watch a game which is probably going to be available on TV somewhere anyway.
Obviously Tottenham fans will be used to watching a game with very little atmosphere but the rest of us who support and watch proper football teams, it's not football as we know it and this could be where i find other ways to pass my Saturday afternoons.
