Drip-Drip-Drip…

As we here in Australia enjoy what must be one of the most odd weather patterns in the entire universe (Jupiter included – and anyone vaguely familiar with Jupiter as I am realizes that we here in Australia mix it with the best in the Milky Way when it comes to weird whether) the familiar drip-drip-drip sound of the remnants of rain following an inexplicably sunny day becomes an immense source of frustration to those who wish to retain a semblance of sanity: as is the universal truth across the human race, nothing can be more annoying than the constant sound of rain hitting some metallic object just outside of your bedroom window, or a tap that has been left unattended.

Perhaps that’s why Chinese Water Torture has developed something of a reputation as unbearable; but neither a political prisoner having to endure it, nor an alien life-form having to deal with Jupiter’s weather compares with the frustration of even keeping informed about AEK Athens.

A 1-0 home defeat against Aris is the last thing needed for yours truly whilst he has been struggling to find a logical reason to rouse himself at 2am for meaningless end-of-season matches. The rather pointless presence of the play-off series to decide European places next season offers no more excitement than an early holiday and the vast array of nonsensical transfer talk to come out of the Mediterranean.

What appears to have been an abject performance of which I only watched 20-or-so minutes before realizing that sleep patterns are slightly more important than Pantelis Kafes saw Koke score the winner in the first half, the only good news being that Juanfran has suffered a knee injury and might miss the Greek Cup Final against Olympiakos on May 2 (hah!).

All jokes aside, if someone could provide me for a sensible reason to keep watching this club function on a weekly basis, it would be much appreciated…
