Summer Of My Discontent

Now that the English Premier League football season has drawn to a close, I face a long few months, as I do every year, without much sport to watch on TV. Of course, there’s no cricket I can watch either, as ESPN would rather show high school basketball games than cater to the hundreds of thousands of Brits, Aussies, Kiwis, Indians, Pakistanis, West Indians and Seffricans who have settled here and would be keen to watch, oh, say, the Cricket World Cup or the various international Test matches.

Adding to my sour mood is that Chelsea came second in the Premiership to the horrible Manchester United, and failed to reach the F.A. Cup final by losing to a pick-up side from Lower Gasping-In-The-Wold or something. At least the Lads will have a second chance to beat the Man U scum, as both teams are in the Champions League* final match on May 21, being played in… Moscow.

Yeah, that’ll be on ESPN, right after the Australian underwater wrist wrestling playoffs.

And the U.S. Open golf tournament is on June 5, while The Open only starts on July 17. A few bleak weeks lie ahead… no EPL, no cricket, not much golf.

Bah. I think I’ll go and kick a hippie.
