Don’t touch that remote!

Sad news, reader. Monday nights aren’t looking as great…

Husband received the email he had hoped would never come informing him of the slow demise and imminent closure of Monday Night Football. The old blokes are getting older, falling apart and there’s not enough fit, younger guys coming through the ranks to make up two reasonably-sized teams. This is very sad news.

Monday nights are my TV quizzy nights. I sit staring at the TV trying to answer one or two questions in University Challenge and marvelling at the way some people’s minds work in Only Connect. I can usually get a quick cooking programme in as well. 

I spent some time trying to find him another Monday night football team to join-looks like there is something at the local Sports Park playing with the Masters… Maybe they should set up a Facebook group – there must be loads of middle-aged men in the local area who like kicking a ball about once a week. Hell, I would do it if there was nothing better on the TV!

Plus! This week it’s the new Nigella show. So I have to have control of the remote. We’ve already had the discussion about what time my programmes start so I think the battle is won this week. But I really hope the football gets sorted as I don’t think I will be able to win every week. 

Fellow Monday Night footballers’ wives – how can we fix this?
