:44:02
what are you left with?
:44:04
You pay £5 to stand
on a lump of concrete.
:44:07
You can't see anything,
you're not even safe.
:44:10
And you can't complain
:44:11
because that would be
letting the lads down.
:44:14
That'd show
you didn't care enough.
:44:18
Well, at least
we care about something.
:44:21
At least we're not in
night after night
:44:24
worrying about our lesson plans.
:44:26
Whether a Scale 3
might come up in Bournemouth.
:44:31
Perhaps one day you'll learn
:44:32
to care about something
you can't tick.
:44:39
Thanks.
:44:49
l'm sorry.
:44:53
[Front door opens
then closes]
:45:04
[Paul] Football
has meant too much to me
:45:07
and come to represent
too many things.
:45:10
After a while,
:45:11
it all gets mixed up
together in your head.
:45:14
You can't remember whether
:45:16
life's shit
because Arsenal's shit
:45:18
or the other way round.
:45:19
l've been to watch
far too many games,
:45:22
spent far too much money.
:45:24
Fretted about Arsenal
:45:25
when l should have been
:45:27
fretting about something else.
:45:29
l've asked too much
of the people l love.
:45:32
OK, l accept all that.
:45:34
Perhaps it's something
you can't understand
:45:36
unless you belong.
:45:38
But what about this...?
:45:39
Three minutes to go
:45:41
and you're two-one up
in a semi-final.
:45:44
You look around and see
thousands of faces
:45:47
contorted with fear
and hope and worry.
:45:49
Everyone lost.
:45:51
Everything else
gone out of their heads.
:45:54
Then the whistle blows
:45:55
and everyone goes spare.
:45:57
And just for those few minutes,
:45:59
you're at the centre
of the whole world.
