@PhokaTSV shared:

"I told my wife and kids that football is back and their response was, 'can't you record or catch-up or something?'"

@moloto_makgabo pronounced:

"Football is life, beke le beke, soapies gang rest rest. Now it's our time."

@callmeMendoza added:

"I’m the only one that watches football in my family. So, I don’t drag remote with anyone, I just wear my jersey and walk down to the viewing centre jeje."

"Plot twist: the ladies aren't sad because football would limit their time of seeing their favourite shows, they're actually unhappy because they support Arsenal."
