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)
