Cracking preview. Lots of good points, well made.
I often think about the "The first is simple, old fashioned joy. Something we used to experience at the football a lot when it was a sport but find more difficult now it’s been turned into a media" thing.
When I first started standing in the loft in the 80's if we won that was all that mattered. I'd go home, dreamily happy, joyfully move the cardboard QPR tab up the table in my Shoot Magazine league ladder (brilliant invention), watch all the news shows that evening just in case the QPR game was the one they showed the goals from in the, occasionally successful, hope of catching a 0.75 second of glimpse of me jumping up and down behind the goal in my green bomber jacket, pray that we were on Match of the Day or The Big match and spend the rest of the week chucking a tennis ball at my bedroom wall ('pack it in for fu*ks sake', 'sorry mum') and recreating Stevie Wick's thumping headed winner.
These days I am often guilty after a narrow/lucky win (not last Friday mind, that was old fashioned joy) of mulling over things like the long term unsustainablility of Sammy Field's technique in a league with ever increasing technical demands, the frequency of playing out from the back turning into play it back hurriedly all the way to Nardi to punt anyway or ...or....or...
In life I very much try to live by focusing on the Present Moment, I'm going to try and apply that more to QPR wins.
Cue me back on here at 7pm tonight saying how I won't sleep again until Paal's corners improve even though we won 3-0. |  | | |
