The Sisyphean labour begins again...

Sisyphus toiling to push a huge boulder up a steep hill 



"We must imagine Sisyphus happy."




This game we so love and hate does seem very like the famous mythical punishment in Hell: endless toil, constant setback... ultimate futility.

We must learn to value the effort expended for its own sake, to celebrate the endeavour to achieve, rather than achievement itself.



Only about 14 hours to go now until the first kick-off of the new season:
 Liverpool v Bournemouth - at 8 pm, UK time. 

Stand by your boulders....


[Yes, this is a re-post from this time last year. But it is so inescapably appropriate that I'm probably going to use it every year.]
