Go on holiday? Last four years I've been away for all of July, and got back just as the season started. Its great, the summer just doesn't happen. Of course, you can get some surprises vis a viz transfers...
 
Cricket? Hampshire is a good bet if you're getting too used to winning!

Alternatively you could get drunk

Or like a real football fanatic, you could spend all day on football-rumours.co.uk and give yourself RSI by tapping F5
 
Scour the internet for the tiniest most unreliable little snippets of information and then speculate if it might be true and what it means.

Failing that make some up yourself and post them as ITK inside info.

We'll start winning before long. Just takes us a bit of time to warm up.....a bit like Saints!

Indeed SA. Good news is that Dimi has been playing for the 2nds this week and last (took 3 wickets and score 50 in a one-day game yesterday), so he might even feature in one of our CB40 games next week.

Good to see Kabir back this week as well, and Tommo is all ready to go as well. Fingers crossed we can avoid defeat tomorrow. Hey, if Yorkshire are too aggressive they might even open the door for us to win!
 
Writer Gregg Easterbrook posts an updated version of this at the end of every American Football season regarding his column called "Tuesday Morning Quarterback," and I think it applies here, too.

Season Sign-Off: Tuesday Morning Quarterback folds its tent and steals off into the desert, though will resurface briefly during the draft. As usual, I recommend you employ the offseason to engage in spiritual growth. Take long walks. Attend worship services of any faith. Exercise more and eat less. Perform volunteer work. Appreciate the beauty of nature. Read, meditate, serve others. Do these things, and you will feel justified in racing back to the remote, the swimsuit calendars and the microbrews when the football artificial universe resumes anew in the autumn.

Here are new books I recommend for offseason reading:

Politics: "The Promise" by Jon Alter.

Sociology: "Happiness Around the World" by Carol Graham.

Novels: "The Girl Who Fell from the Sky" by Heidi Durrow and "The Infinities" by John Banville.

Technology: "Four Fish" by Paul Greenberg.

Biography: "The Seeds We Sow" by Gary Beene.

Science: "The 4% Universe" by Richard Panek.

Memoir: "The Memory Chalet" by Tony Judt.

For emotional power, "The Memory Chalet" is one of the finest books ever written. If the concluding pages do not break your heart, nothing will. Born in Britain but spending most of his life in New York, Judt, a prolific public intellectual, who wrote from the left, opposed all forms of tyranny, including socialist cant; he was Orwell's successor. "A History of Europe Since 1945," which Judt completed in 2005, is the work of a master historian.

In 2008, at age 60, Judt developed amyotrophic lateral sclerosis -- Gehrig's disease. As his body failed, his mind remained clear. No longer able to type, and often unable to close his eyes, he composed his final book in his head, whispering into a tape recorder as his family slept. Among Judt's last words before his 2010 death were his report that his mind and memories remained intact, but he was losing the power to make his lips move. I pray that mind is now eternally preserved. A work of pure awareness as life concludes, "The Memory Chalet" is a book God would read.
