You get used to it and to be honest it’ll be easier here in England, especially with the games kicking off at 3 o'clock.  I had more of a problem when I was playing in France, because games there start at eight o'clock in the evening.  I've been fasting during Ramadan for 19 years and at least this season it happens in December, so I won't have to wait longer than half past four in the afternoon to eat."
