I know iabu so please don't tell me so. But I'm struggling with my husbands love of watching football. I know its really popular but I just hate the mob mentality around watching it. I'm also a bit envious that he has this passion and that he can literally talk to anyone anywhere. We are currently abroad and there is a big match on that is shown in most bars, we have arranged to meet his friends and it will be all about the football, even the wives don't seem to mind it. I feel very out of it. Does anyone else feel the same?

Me. I can’t understand what the appeal is, it’s slow, the players are pathetic - falling over if anyone goes near them, the level of violence towards other fans which means that they have to be kept separate, the fact that domestic violence increases after a game. Everything.
