it's not just a game ...
'Always different, always the same', as the late, great John Peel used to say of his heroes, 'The Fall'. Football's like that in so many ways.
It's a ritual. The trip to the ground, buying a programme, sampling the rich greasy food and slurping down over-priced watery lager. It's always the same, yet always different.
Watching the game on TV has none of the magic, none of the hopes and dreams as kick-off time approaches, none of the shared experience wedged in a constantly moving throng of people.
The whistle blows and we're off on yet another adventure together ...
