0:30.4	Oh, Bologna versus Aston Villa, what might that mean?
0:35.0	Oh, what could that mean?
0:36.7	None of this. Down to the good stuff, the real stuff. Why would you delay getting to this point in the season? I suppose you don't delay, but why would you fill the rest of the season?

And it said something like, I'm paraphrasing because I don't have the tweet in front of me, but it was something like I realized over the last 48 hours that it's not football I hate.

2:00.2	That sums up so well how I feel.
