I suspect my girlfriend thinks I watch too much football...

I'm no poet, I've never written a poem in my life, and can't really get my head around what makes a poem a poem if it doesn't rhyme. This is just something I thought of while reflecting on what I did last weekend (not necessarily a poem)...

Saturday morning, I caught the build up to the Liverpool game on my mobile.
I don't like Liverpool, I'd hoped they'd lose.
From the sounds of it Stoke could have shocked them.
I suspect my girlfriend thinks I watch too much football.

I went to West Ham, to watch us play newly promoted Cardiff.
We weren't amazing, but Cardiff weren't good enough to punish us.
In the end it was a comfortable victory, Cardiff will do well to stay up.
I suspect my girlfriend thinks I watch too much football.

I rushed home to watch the end of the Man United game.
Van Persie carried on where he left off.
I must be the only person without him in my fantasy team
I continue to suspect my girlfriend thinks I watch too much football.

Next up was Bilbao away to Valladolid.
Couldn't watch it on Sky Go, so I frantically searched for a stream.
Bilbao were too good for them, they looked very incisive going forward.
At this point my girlfriend definitely must think I watch too much football.

Sunday morning was the same, up early to see the build up to Palace v Sp*rs.
Palace aren't ready for the Premiership, Sp*rs unfortunately look quite good.
Went from this game straight into Chelsea v Hull
Yeah, my girlfriend thinks I watch too much football.

On to Barcelona v Levante, intermittently flicking over to the Dortmund game.
Barcelona are 6-0 up after 45 minutes, are Levante even trying?
Dortmund scrape a late 2-1 win, my accumulator is still on.
If you ask my girlfriend she'd say, I watch too much football.

PSG to end the day, at home to Ajaccio.
Last game on the accumulator, it takes precedence over Real Madrid.
PSG draw comeing back from a goal down, Cavani's equaliser was brilliant.
My girlfriend goes to bed in the dying minutes probably thinking, "man alive, he watches too much football".

So in 48 hours I managed to watch 9 live games in one way or another.
I'd like to point out that the majority of this was done on my laptop and mobile.
I'm no TV hogger, god bless Sky Go/BT Sport Mobile
Despite this if you ask her, I suspect my girlfriend thinks I watch too much football.
