Always glad that I went to Boca Juniors Vs River Plate at La Bombonera in 2003 when I was in Buenos Aires. Probably the best atmosphere at any footy ground I've ever been to. 

 

When I got back and told people I'd been to it no one was barely arsed. Now all of a sudden it's the one game in the world that you "must" attend. 

 

I've seen loads of poncey twats who aren't that arsed about footy spend a fortune going to that game just so they can brag about ticking it off their "bucket list" it on social media.

Saw Boca get presented with the title at the end of a home match in 2006. Insane atmosphere. 
 

At the end of the 4-0 over Barcelona the other year, there was a stupidly fit what I thought was Spanish lass right next to me in a Barcelona shirt who I’d clocked throughout.
 

I turned to her and offered my magnanimous commiserations with nothing but the Corinthian spirit and being a gentleman in mind, to which she said she was gutted but the atmosphere was absolutely incredible.
 

She then told me she’s actually from BA not Barcelona and goes to every Boca home game, which without being disrespectful often boasts a similar noise. I certainly couldn’t argue with her based on my experience there.

Done very little exercise since I left school, certainly nothing regular. Following some new meds I have a fresh lease of life and have taken myself off to a strength and conditioning gym, to slowly work my way up from the very bottom. 

 

Went in Saturday morning and at the end of the session before there was a tug of war going on. One of the long-termers basically won it on his own, was ridiculous watching him actually drag 3 other very strong adults on the other team off their feet and up along the gym floor.

 

Shortly afterwards I was doing some front squats with the barbell and he said to me 'You have incredible depth on that squat, its fucking impressive'. I checked and he has a wife and kids so I don't think he wanted to bum me. As someone who regularly struggled to get off the sofa for years, I'll take that. Probably helped my squat thinking about it, the act of sitting down on the fucker 1000 times a week in between pisses.

 

I was also in there bench pressing a few weeks ago when Danger Zone came blaring out the speakers. I looked around all the sweat-drenched gym bros I was hiding among in plain sight and thought...yes, I can now die a happy man. Achievement unlocked.

I seem to recall some while ago I suggested we play a game of tennis. I'd like to formally retract that offer, as at the time you were a physical wreck I was certain I could trounce despite having never played the sport.
