From the moment, I first picked up a Subbuteo player I was in trouble. My happiness had become dangerously, dependent on football results, and I was only 5-years-old. I soon learned that football isn't an entertainment in the true sense of the word. Whilst I can enjoy the experience of watching a lower league team in a creaking stadium on a wet and windy Tuesday evening, or televised games between teams that I feel no allegiance to, watching Chelsea is like watching a friend in peril whilst I stand by, helpless, and most of the time I can't handle it.
