      Football and love can never coexist

      The World Cup is held every four years, today! sky! end! At! open! race! !

      As in previous years, before the game comes, the joke will go first.

      Today's World Cup is still warmed up with the question of "how to explain offside to my girlfriend", and then to popular science "the essential knowledge points for pseudo-fans of the World Cup", "how to pretend to understand the ball king" as...

      my arsenal, my extreme fanaticism

      All Arsenal games since that day in 2007

      Written on May 11, 12, 2012

      Ordinary day of freshman year with a blackout

      Directly stimulated by extreme fanaticism, for my favorite things, I think I should still write. Constantly writing is far better for me than the occasional chatter on the QQ space and idleness in these days when the power is black and the sun is not seen. Sleep well. I never deny that I am a maniac and paranoid, and sometimes even proud of...

      A monologue in a movie

      Football has meant too much to me and come to represent too many things to me. And after a while, it all gets mixed up together in your head. You can't remember whether life's shit because Arsenal's shit or the other way around. I 've been to watch far too many games, and spent too much money. Fretted about Arsenal when I should have been fretting about something else. I've asked too much of the people I love. OK, I accept all that. Perhaps it's something you can't understand unless you belong....

      true rabid fans

      I made up "fever pitch" last night. To exaggerate, it should be the best sports movie I've ever seen, if it's also a sports movie. Paul loves Arsenal so much that everything in life can come to him. Arsenal can be said to be everything before he met Hughes, and even after he met Hughes, it was what he cared about the most. I wonder why Hughes and Paul are together? It should be counted as one of the places in the movie that I didn't understand very well, but the other scenes,...

      ★★★★☆The brain made up that Colin Firth would be really like Nick Hornby if he didn't have hair. The rhythm of the light movie with the masterpiece is super...

      This is nothing more than a love drama with football as a smokescreen, even though the pigs' feet call themselves Arsenal fans. However, that's about...

Paul is crazy about football, but his usual job is so-so.
