Football crazy part 2

The sight of grown men with the minds of new born babies kicking a ball around some grass for a bit is without doubt the best way to spend a Saturday for some people. Yes, the football season is well underway in England. It's seems an age that last season ended but, in reality it was only 3 weeks ago. Fans just don't seem to be able to get enough of multi millionaires sauntering round the pitch lazily before they roll around on the floor frantically trying gain the attention of match officials. Thats not all there is to football though, let's not forget the aggressive goal celebrations such as punching a corner flag or shouting "come on" with clenched fists and fight ready posture. For the less aggressive there's always the ritual of sliding on the knees like a bored child on a wedding reception dance floor.

The great news is that the powers that be have decided to extend the football season so that we can see more of this childish, ubiquitous, game.

Brian McTaxexile, the man who is in charge of football has said. "We are pleased to announce an extension to the football season in England. We plan to gradually add more games to the calendar as people just don't seem to be able to enough of overpaid idiots pretending to give 110% for the clubs they love, until such time they leave to join another club where they can earn more cash to spend on diamond earrings". McTaxexile went on to say. "By the time the full changes are implemented the new season will have started before the current one has finished, this means that as a fan you won't have to go one second without football in your lives or on your tv screens."

This is also good news for players, fans, pundits and agents alike so we got the views of a selection of these people which you can see below.

Premier league star Terry Johnson said. "I'm not sure what to make of all this. Does it mean I have to play more? I'm not sure I like the sound of that. Oh well, I can just refuse to play or get my agent to get me in at a different club where I'll receive more money. I'll just have to kick on and see what happens but this could mess up my chances of retiring at 23."

Johnsons agent Ernie Moneybags said. "This is great for me, it will mean more players in the game and more transfers. I reckon I'll be able to make an extra few million a year just sat on my backside smoking cigars and picking the phone up. Winner!"

Pundit and ex England international Clive Mediocre was also excited. "I can't wait for this, I love spending a Saturday sat round a table with my mates discussing who isn't playing that day for two grand a time." Mediocre cheekily added. "I'll still have one eye on the GG's though, even when I'm working, I like to see where my two grand has gone!"

Dedicated fan Tommy Skint said. "In principle this is great news but it's going to hit me in the pocket. I'll find the money from somewhere though, I'd die for my beloved Rovers! That club is everything to me. I proposed to my girlfriend the day we signed Terry Johnson and our little boy is named after the whole of the team that lost in the fifth round of the FA cup in the 79-80 season."

So it seems that with these plans in place you'll never have to spend a weekend without getting disappointed that your club lost 3-0 and needs a new striker. In the words or 80's popster Limahl out of Kajagoogoo (he was the singer, not the one with the massive teeth) football is indeed "A never ending story".
