1. Go to the match – it costs loads though – I am happy having Sky Sports News on here to be fair.

2. Listen to it – I like listening to football – I figure out who got the assist for 3rd goal scored by play x for team y by hearing who crossed the ball from the left wing.

3. Just guess the score or find out later – ok I am obviously not being serious there – but I have managed in improve in recent times by not kicking every ball – I can go about 40 seconds now without knowing who scored the 3rd goal for Manchester City.

4. Watch it in the pub – just make sure they haven’t got the rugby on or something though.

5. Watch Match of the Day – sometimes I watch it with some tunes on – but for those who are not me – watching it with commentary & all that jazz is an option.

I do actually watch it in full more these days to be fair.

6. Ask someone on the bus – what the score is – in fairness I don’t think that I have actually done this – please note that this was partly written to come up with a 6th way to take in football and I do not actually advise that you ask someone on the bus what the score is.
