Seeing as I’m still at school the football issue is brought up a lot in classes, especially in P.E. when our teacher (a respected Army Major) tends not to bother turning up to lessons.

A lot of the time recently our conversations turn to Arsenal’s sum what disappointing performances at home to Hull and away to Sunderland. (This makes me laugh a lot of the time because they are mostly from Charlton supporters, who need reminding that they aren’t even in our league.)

But recently I noticed that one side of the room seems to have gone all quiet. Yes you may have guessed that the silence during football discussions is coming from a Spud. We asked for his opinion these days he often just shrugs his shoulders, and sometimes mumbles ‘I like Rugby now, anyone see the Wasps last night?’

Now, you must understand I have no problem with Rugby, I semi-support London Wasps and watch all of England’s matches. But the thing that really makes me laugh is the fact that not long ago that side of the room was so quiet. Claiming that they where going to knock the gunners out of the top four.

Then to back up my theory I start talking to a man on the train when I was sitting with my mate wearing my favourite shirt. I asked who he supported and he replied, ‘Well it was Spurs, but I like rugby now!’

Come on Spurs you may be destined for the Championship, but stick with it! Don’t give us crappy stories such as ‘I like rugby now’!
