The English Premier League is done and dusted for another season, and what a season it was with Manchester City becoming the first side to amass 100 points, and score over 100 goals.

There was a time when the world would have stoppd on its axis for me to watch the Premier League end game. Then poker came along in its short skirt, high heels and flashes of flesh. I fell for her charms hard, like a man falling for the right hook of Mike Tyson.

These days, I don’t play as much poker.

The skirts are still short. The glimpses of flesh always turn me on. But I have an 18-month-old daughter. The choice becomes 90-minutes of football, 12 hours of poker or 90-minutes of imaginary theatre with me playing all members of the cast.
