I have just dug out an old article from the beeb about "end of season blues" that I remember reading a few years ago. It highlights what we have to put up with during these dark, soulless times and I thought it was right on the money!

"Those close to football supporters should look out for signs of depression, lethargy, inability to converse and a feeling of hopelessness - feelings which may also be common during the season, if their team is not faring well." I love this paragraph.... sums it up perfectly!
The most annoying thing about the summer, especially summers like this one, is that we are going to be bombarded with 'talk' all summer. So and so is on the brink of signing a record deal with so and so, and such and such a manager is leaving because he wants more control over the transfers. Then there will be the endless stream of photographs in OK and Hello of the footballers we pay to see each week sunning themselves on luxury yachts and hanging out with all of their other celebrity mates at Bungalow 7 or the Kensington Roof Gardens....etc etc etc....you see where I'm going....it's just all talk and no poo.
Can we not just fast forward to the start of next season?
So what I thought I would do is to get a bit of banter going between us football supporters (or obsessive as my missus would call me) as to what they do over the summer when there is no footie on the tele!
- What do you do over the summer?
- Do you ignore the press?
- Are you a member of the press who writes these articles?
- Do you suddenly start going to church in the hope that Lionel Messi will see the light and see that South-London is wonderful and that its full of t*ts, fanny and Charlton and sign for the Addicks?

Kelvin, I check the Blogs every few hours to see if there is any news on a takeover/new manager.
But as I've been doing this since last October I'm not sure I'll see the difference! I think I am straw clutching..

Q> What do you do over the summer?
A> I sit in the garden waiting for Mrs KH to find me more jobs to do - I don't get to sit for long.
Q> Do you ignore the press?
A> To be honest we don't (never really have) get much coverage in the nationals or in Kent. I do read the NoTW every couple of weeks for the ridiculous stories of what the Big Four are rumoured to be planning.
Q> Are you a member of the press who writes these articles?
A> Sadly not, no.
Q> Do you suddenly start going to church in the hope that Lionel Messi will see the light and see that South-London is wonderful and that its full of t*ts, fanny and Charlton and sign for the Addicks?
A> I don't, but if you are sure it will work I'm more than willing to start.
