Feminist's guide to Footie.

Say goodbye to peaceful weekends from now on.

The madness starts again on Saturday. Mood swings, anguish, howling, tantrums and self medication are predicted.

To kick off the season we have -

Everton v Blackburn Rovers

I hope for a draw.

Malc was puzzled by the fact that I'm an Everton fan. You may recall that I never missed a home game at Ewood Park during my formative years. I loved Blackburn Rovers with a consuming passion

However, most women grow to support teams for diplomatic reasons. Each day you hear your significant other banging on and on and on about signings and fitness tests and managers trading players like the wife in the 'Mayor of Casterbridge'.

Eventually you become converted.

I'm not proud of it.

My Scouse friend Carolyn was a Koppite who married a Manchester bloke. Within months she was supporting United.

Now I could never do that.

Or wait a minute
maybe I could!!?
