England Ennui

Apparently there's a game going on tonight. It's between a group of European no hopers and Bulgaria. The overwhelming feeling is best summed up by a shrug of the shoulders. It's an opportunity for the FA to promote the remarkably ill timed release of the new England Shirt. Clearly the powers that be thought that England would be riding on a wave of post South Africa euphoria and would eagerly fill the stadium in their new grandad style England shirts. What the team will be faced with is rampant ennui.

I don't care about the game other than the well being of the Arsenal contingent. I would hazard a guess that the majority of Club supporters probably only have the welfare of members of their team to muster any interest.

It's a sad state of affairs but International football has now become just a nuisance and a disruption to the season; particularly with the England/Capello/FA set up that makes every fan feel like a mug.

I don't care about the current England team and I am not alone in this. The real pity is that those players, manager, staff and executives of 'team England' don't seem to care either.

Roll on  3.00 September 11th .
