Fantasy football that is. For the last ten years or so I’ve been playing Fantasy Football with a group of people I used to work with. If you go here you’ll see how I’ve done this year (although it’s a week out of date at time of writing. I didn’t win).

Thing is, I’m a Chelsea fan, so I’m not sure that there are going to be many years as satisfying as this one (first championship since before I was born), and there’s also the question of whether it’s ethically fitting to keep supporting a team built upon expropriated Russian assets, and where the board is led by someone like Peter Kenyon. All in all, time to take a break.

I also want to make room in my life for something else. I’ll still watch/ follow the footie – there are plans afoot to watch at least one of the world cup matches in Germany – but I want to actually play it a bit more often (as opposed to not playing it at all at the moment!) and put the time I had been putting to following particular players towards other ends. Like becoming the priest God has called me to be. I’ve got a long way to travel yet. Time to quit while I’m ahead.
