Things we know thus far this year: 1) Football is not coming home. In fact, it snubbed “home” completely and the best we can hope for now is a postcard from Marbella where it’s gone sunning itself with its real mates.
2) Leading on from that, something else that seems evident so far is that summer is not bothering to visit either, given that in July, I still have to don a jumper in the evening to keep the distinct chill at bay.
