Mostly B, I try and do A occasionally, but it usually gives me a headache.

I also banter with my mate where we identify words, phrases and cliches that are used nowhere else but in football, such as 'hugging the touchline' or 'rounding the keeper'. The amount of such banter is in reverse correlation to the entertainment value being provided by B, or even A.

Yup, they issued the uniforms this morning. Mine were ten sizes too short for my 6ft 1in frame. I start work tomorrow in Santa's Sweat Shop earning a crust of bread and a sip of water every three days - best job I've ever had How do you watch football? - Page 2 1525230823

What's Rudolph like in person? Is he all big headed, you know, the big I am or is he quite down to earth?

But..but that means you won't be around until after Christmas?

What about your mandatory attendence at the first ever RBMB Awards? If you win anything, you won't be able make your acceptence speech! :'(


Back to the op, I also try my best with B, my current area of observation is how our defense organises itself, how the cover for each other, how high they sit etc - all very interesting.
