How do you pass the time in the maddening nothingness between matches at the business end of the season?

[SebastianBlue]

I am a forced early retiree, so spend a lot of time with my toddler (mostly teaching him about football and maths), as I am able, and serial shite posting on here.

I occasionally read books or long form articles, mostly about current affairs, science, or football. I used to read a lot more but now it seems a much less prudent use of my time.

I also day trade to add to the family trust fund for when I am gone, which thankfully takes up a decent amount of focus time during the day.

How do you survive the emptiness of meaning and purpose between our games as we chase the treble? ;-)

My last job as a legal clerk required immense concentration so my work kept me occupied usually.

I was shocking over the tail end of 2011/12 season. Days would drag when it was back in our own hands. Newcastle away was agony following it on a train on Twitter. I’d turned down going to attend the wedding of a friend I no longer know.

I have a wank. It's a long one. Yep...citalopram.

Play Rome Total war 2 as Iceni on hard.

It’s not that which is a problem,it’s fucking when the season is done fuck all else to have us gripped and entertained till the new season kicks off again..

I forgot to mention playing Civ 6 and Age of Wonders Planetfall (thinking of picking up AoW 4, as well).

I think I'm in the same boat as you and my days are filled with the following...

Dog walking.
Dog playing.
Dog feeding.
Reading. Dog permitted.
More dog walking.
Cooking.
Feeding the dog. Again.
Listening to music. Quietly as to not annoy said dog.
Playing Anno 1800 and CM 01/02.
More dog playing.

Well; the Ashes is on this summer, so that's something to help pass the time.

Work, kids and wife, dogs, gym, cooking, guitar, wanking, sleep. Fuck knows how I've time to watch any games.

Yeah, that time when you have to do shit stuff with the wife and kids

That’s definite a slog, as well.

But the days between matches now are, too, at least for me. But I also have a lot less “busy” activities than most.

Though, ironically, I imagine the time is actually passing quicker for me than most, even whilst it seems to crawl.

Not sure cruel and unusual torture is the best way to fill the void between matches.

 

[laserblue]

Sobering up.

Just don’t get feeding the dog and cooking mixed up.

Otherwise your curry will have more bite than you expected.
