Fun reading.

More fun reading.

How can some people attach such overblown importance to symbols (wearing black armbands, cancelling games, lowering the national flag...) is beyond me. Everything seems equally petty to me when someone has died. A pretext, you say? ...Oh.

Plus, there’s a false binary here that really gets on my nerves. Also it

The ultras' situation, it is the suck that keeps on sucking. Here, too. Doesn't turn into street riots each time, but still, it drives me away from the stadiums.

I had an unbearably annoying workday, of the kind that makes me wish an army of rabid tifosi would break through the windows and invade my office and yay the meetings and phone-answering and checkbook balancing would be postponed to an undetermined date and so I could stay home and screw around all day... But no, such happenings are the privilege of famous football players. Blah.

"Je l’aime bien maldini, il est beau, riche, classe, le maillot et la coiffure impeccable même a la 94e dans les arrêts de jeu...un peu poissard aussi..perdre une finale de coupe du monde ok, perdre une finale de championnat d’europe à la dernière minute, c’est déjà plus limite, et perdre une finale de C1 en menant 3-0 a la mi-temps, là ça commence a faire pas mal de grosses déconvenues...pourquoi pas un ballon d’or pour l’ensemble de sa carrière de manequin milanais, mais faut arrêter d’etre dupe, c’est trop tard. Mais bon je l’aime bien quand même."
