I have a great seat near the Leicester dugout. . Around me are a bunch of cheerful characters who I am always pleased to see and who I think are pleased to see me. Other people have written about unpleasant people near them but I have been very lucky. My seat and the people around it are one of the minor pleasures of the match day.
However, I have had a letter from the football club saying I have to give up my seat to some corrupt little UEFA scumbag for the Champions League games. I admit that the words "corrupt little UEFA scumbag" do not actually appear in the letter but they are implied.
It would be nice to go up to him (*) and use some Nigel Pearson language but the steward round there is very pleasant and I do not want to make things difficult for him. The letter makes it clear that this is UEFA requirements and not the fault of the club. I am sure that nice Susan Whelan would rather have me sitting there. Certainly Claudio will be at a disadvantage without my calling out advice. . Do you think whoever has my seat will have to queue for the urinal at half time?
Before any pedant corrects me I do realise it will not actually be Herr Blatter but one of his "goodfellas" - one of his "made men".
(*) Some may query mu use of the word "him" claiming it might be a "her". Experience tells me that while a European lady might break a gentleman's heart she would never steal his seat at a football match.
