Today is Black Friday, a celebration of rabid consumerism which began in the USA USA USA, a means of rewarding citizens for getting through the tedium of Thanksgiving by selling them cut-price electrical goods. A true 21st-century holiday, and the perfect day to welcome back the Premier League after an international break that must have lasted at least six weeks. We’re getting thrown back in at the deep end, too, with Manchester City v Liverpool an absolute door-buster of an early Saturday game. First plays second in a fixture that practically guarantees drama, outrage and title-race repercussions; it’s almost too much too soon, like starting the FD Towers Xmas Party playlist with Mr Brightside.
I am glad that my mighty (Serbian) national team was mentioned (twice!) yesterday in your leading story. Football Daily has finally realised that if you want to find humour in international football, we are always there: a very good attacking team but a disaster in defence. For those looking for some entertainment next summer in Germany we certainly won’t disappoint. For example, last time when we played a Euro (back in 2000) in four matches we scored eight goals and conceded no less than 13!” – Bogdan Kotarlic.
A key aspect of Erwin Schrödinger’s thought experiment (yesterday’s letters) was that his cat was both dead and alive at the same time. This might be proved by Manchester United’s current situation, since the team are most likely dead in Europe but alive in the EPL. As a United fan, I’m hoping Schrodinger’s cat is not pronounced completely dead at season’s end” – Jim Christie (and no other superposition theorists).
Re Mike Wilner’s letter: first he gave up letter writing to try working, then he gave up letter writing to try holidays. I can only hope that Noble Francis is not now going to give up letter writing to try experimenting” – Peter Harper.
I’d love to see Jim Deery’s Fati-Baldi midfield axis (yesterday’s letters) supported by the likes of Eric Dier, Tyrone Mings, Craig Short, Pascal Gross and of course the one and only Rafael Scheidt. Gives hope to us all” – Tim Clarke.
