How tedious

January 10th: Leicester City v Ipswich Town (Championship)

Yes, it's a Sunday. This game was originally scheduled for yesterday, but was shifted at the start of the season to avoid clashing with Leicester Tigers' game against Wasps. If you're interested, the home side won. Or lost. I forget. In addition, owing to the fact that all the other games that were meant to be played today have been postponed, Sky have made the last-minute decision to televise this game.

I walk into the ground four minutes before kick-off. Four minutes and a handful of seconds afterwards, City's defence collapses and Ipswich are in front. Good start. How long gone, 20 seconds? Maybe, at a stretch, 30? I neglect to do the obvious thing and look at the scoreboard, probably because I'm too stunned to take in what's actually happened.

Ipswich soon make it clear they've come here not to lose, and despite their lead they stick resolutely to that gameplan. But one wayward deflection falls kindly for Steve Howard, who places the ball into Adam Lee-Barrett's net.

Half time is the usual 'some shit happening on the pitch', and is ignored. Second half is mind-numbing, I won't bore you with that. Another point, time to go home.

Final score: Leicester 1 Ipswich 1
