When people talk to me about football, I shall simply look blankly at them, then smile and say 'I'm sorry, I don't really follow football' and then change the subject. No more football banter, no more painful conversations with Tottenham supporters and no more feeling duty bound to defend the Arsenal when they're slagged off by supporters of other teams.
Just think how liberating it will be! :cloud9:
well, yes, but you'll have to take up politics or the like so something else can become the target of your loathing :thumbup:Quote:
