Sorry Wrong Number
New member
I have never really gotten football, even during the big events like the world cup I\'m at a loss to gather up any form of interest or enthusiasm for the sport at all. I\'d rather read a book, tap dance or take up knitting or lick the cats arse.
It annoys me because it’s on TV all the time and the games last as long as films. My friends (including my best mate whose a hyper competitive football/sports obsessed guy) all love football, even my partner (a former footy hater) has become interested in \'the beautiful game\' because my best mate has assimilated him into his world of football watching and carling drinking. They both shout at the telly during matches getting very red in the face over things and I feel completely left out.
I sit around for over 90 minutes twiddling my thumbs and grinding my teeth waiting for it to end. The monotonous noise of the crowd washes over me and sends me into a foul black mood. Sometimes football even takes away my beloved Doctor Who because it goes into extra time or whatever its called -how dare it!
But recently I have decided to try something... I\'m sick of the mockery, fed up of being told to go and make everyone cups of tea or get them another can or finding myself so bored I end up doing something like: folding the laundry because I don’t\' fit into their ball kicking world of spirited testosterone joy. I’ve had enough!
I\'m going to try to like footy, I\'m going to attempt to learn all about it without any of my friends knowing and then shock them with my knowledge of the game, easy right?
So I’m asking for your help.
First off I need a team to support, a decent one –one that will possibly crush theirs into the ground in those tournaments and win a lot of cups, so I can gloat. Possibly a team with some nice stylish metrosexual players –that would be nice also.
A team with a good strip would be a must –if I am to purchase a football top I want to get one with suitably fashionable cut and colours. I quite like Newcastle because of the black and white strip, the vertical stripes are rather slimming –also they are one of the better teams right? My friends support Middlesbrough, Liverpool and Leeds. If I understand correctly only Liverpool is any good out of those?
Um…I quite like the colours: red, black, white and purple and I prefer speed and dexterity over strength and stamina when I play characters on computer games.
Right, that’s enough for now. It’s over to you lot.
And thanks.
