Jammathon, your doing no damage to your body, you just wont be as functional as you would with 8hrs sleep. Make up for the sleep another time. Sorted!

I’d be interested to hear someone with a medical background tell me what kind of damage I’m doing to myself. I once heard that those that only sleep for four hours live longer, but that sounds bogus.

Gradually, the ritual’s become less of a chore and more of a lifestyle. Yes, I feel tired during the day, but I still get to 10pm by hook or by crook.

After being a season ticket holder for 10 years but now in oz for 3, I feel more for the arse than ever. I love getting ready for work before a 545 am ko or watching iq and timing it so I can get my last bus at 745 am for work! Shit on a monday though!

There’s always the risk that people won’t read something that’s literally an opus. But I feel I needed to do it, almost as a penance, after my long absence. Lazy, opportunistic bastard that I am.

Brilliant write up. When I saw the length of the article, I thought to myself “there’s no way I’m reading this.” Then I thought I’d just read the first section and I just kept reading. It reminded me of all of the emotions I have experienced in this phenomenal season.

My story is kinda similar to yours except that I have to stay up till 3.30 rather than wake up early. I think I prefer staying up late even if I have to spend the next day at work bleary eyed. I think some of the “real” Arsenal fans from England should try this for a month, let alone 15-20 seasons that most “foreign” fans have been following Arsenal have done and then tell us that we’re not real fans.

An excellent return of one of my favourite Arsenal blogs. The thing for me about being an Australian Arsenal supporter is that watching that games in the early morning can either bouy the rest of your day or make is sink like lead, depending upon the result.

The usual…work, Carlsberg, Arsenal, Arsenal, Arsenal, sleep, work, more Carlsberg, bit of internet rubbish, work, Arsenal, Arsenal, Arsenal, sleep, Arsenal. Not the most exciting existence, but it suits me at the moment. haha

Making up for lost time, of course. What’s your story in that timeframe, Mr SKA?
