Isn't football boring.
There was a day when I lived for football. Even if Bolton weren't playing I'd find a game to go to somewhere, or watch one on TV.
But in 2012 football is stale and bloody boring. There are many reasons....too many meaningless games, finishing 17th in the PL being classed as "success", too many average overpaid ponces, shit stadiums with no atmosphere, too expensive etc. I could go on.
Five years ago I would have gone to Peterborough but nowadays I can't be arsed travelling anywhere outside of Lancashire. Today I stayed at home because I had a choice of cricket or darts on tv to entertain me.
The cricket was fantastic, England winning with a 6 off the last ball. The whole Indian tour has been magnificent. I also watched the darts - utterly compelling considering it's a bunch of fat bastards throwing sticks in front of a crowd of common folk.
Football might be the official national sport, but both cricket and darts are far more entertaining. Don't you agree?
