When Saturday Comes Saturdays 3:00 pm

SATURDAY, 3:PM

At three o' clock on Saturdays,
we know who we are , where
we belong, and where we
should be even when we aren't.
Not everyone has that. We're
actually very lucky. For us
there is a fixed break from the
complications and obstacles of
being human...

Being a football fan entitles
us to a temporary, recurring
retreat, a short holiday from
real existence. Our lives can
be in chaos and nothing
seem fixed. Nothing except
how we feel on a Saturday at
3pm, when we are elevated
into blissful and infuriating
distraction. What a privilege
that is.

Extract from Daniel Gray's book
Saturday, 3pm (50 Eternal Delights of
Modern Football)
