As a result, my interest in that sport is a little more muted to 4:30 onwards a saturday due to the passionate area I come from. With an owner who likes a level playing field but sometimes annoys the fans, I believe everything in football is relative ... including of course the other two national disappointments, one of which being the penalty rule ... level playing field and all that !!. Inversely, It's a bit like my interest in Test cricket too with the weather, where the draw is unfair at times.J_on_tourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05469200077815953611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5125377846799056778.post-22972032945924366832012-07-25T02:50:06.672+01:002012-07-25T02:50:06.672+01:00I was glad to see Wiggins win.
