D-Day of the Premiere League


Dear World,
WIGAN HAS NOT BEEN RELEGATED!!!!!!! Hallelooooolyah!!!!

Fran supports Wigan. Wigan has been one of the five teams in the battle to not be relegated. I have been dreading today in case Wigan gets relegated. Mentally, I've been coming up with contigency plans in case they lost to pull Fran from his inevitable depression--last minute deals to Majorca, the price of a Wigan jersey, etc. If there's anything worse than watching your team lose, its watching your boyfriends team lose, knowing that you actually don't give a rat's hynie about what happens to them, but you'll have to live with the mopey son-of-gun for goodness knows how long:: will he throw himself under a train? will he begin to drink dangerous quantities? or the worst, will he just recede into himself and have this far-away look in his eyes and when he finally looks at you its from a different universe:: SO YOU BEGIN TO CARE VERY QUICKLY.

I received four phone calls within the span of half an hour, waking me up from the oh-so- precious Sunday nap. Today in the 60th minute, Wigan scored against Stoke City, thus winning their match. YESSSS!!! After all, whats more fun than going through the hold-you-breath moments together with a friend and enjoying the triumph and joy and radiance of their pleasure. I will just say I am very glad.
