We all know that man cannot survive on bread alone – unless of course he is Lord Havelock Vetinari, Patrician of Ankh-Morpork. Vetinari usually dines on bread and water, followed by the oil that makes the city of Ankh-Morpork run smoothly.

In this year of the Pensive Hare, people were getting bored and the oil was wearing a bit thin. It was threatening to spread out of control via the vicious street game of foot-the-ball that people were turning to for their amusement. A game that they believed was more exciting than beating other people over the head with big weapons.

Football – like diplomacy and marriage – short periods of fighting followed by long periods of negotiation.

The thing about football – the important thing about football – is that it is not just about football.

Here we go! Here we go! Here we go!
