This post has me a bit weepy and homesick for some normality…. and this quote, from the same blog sums up the last few weeks superbly:

It is just such a rubbish ending to a tournament of ups and downs and downs. Though I may finally understand the offside rule, it still feels like all I gained from five weeks of football is a paler complexion, a crushing sense of disillusionment and slightly larger arse.
