Football's back. That's how the Premier League is promoting the new season. In truth, football never went away. It can never go away as it's everywhere and anywhere, all encompasing and all inclusive, like nothing else on this planet.
But I'm glad football's back. I'm a Spurs fan and it was back with a bang for me at the weekend. Bad luck Liverpool. Unlike last season, this time 'round you were outplayed at the Lane. And no amount of bleating from your slimey manager can change that. Fantastic!
That result topped off a fantastic weekend for me.
On Saturday the Swifts (www.matamataswifts.co.nz) won again to carry on our good unbeaten run and keep pace at the top of the table. The performance was good and some of the goals were superb. Brilliant!
Then we had the Phoenix popping up with a pretty good performance of their own. A 2-1 home win over Perth may not be the things championships are built on, but it's better than the dispiriting draw they looked like having to settle for. Leo Bertos - what a strike!
I've also secured my tickets to the NZ v Saudi Arabia or Bahrain World Cup Qualifier in Wellington in November. That's a game I just couldn't not be at. The chance to be a part of some real sporting history for our small nation... the prospect sends shivers down my spine!
So that was pretty much the ideal footballing weekend for me. Is it too much to ask for more of the same over the next two months?
