Knowing nothing about Football
Discussion
I'll hold my hands up and admit this. I'll watch a game or two if nothing else is on, but don't particularly care and am not excited at the forthcoming festival of staying off work on made up sick leave and intense debate about people I've never even heard of.
However, I am also aware that other people find cars and Motorsport boring. That's OK too. But some people don't seem to understand this. Why is it assumed that as a bloke you are automatically assumed to be fanatically passionate about a particular team and can discorse freely about how we've been robbed so many times in the past and that England are going to win it again this year.
In particular, this applies to taxi drivers in London, who assume that a tip is likely to be more forthcoming from someone who neither understands nor cares what you are on about, has just finished an 18 hour day and quite clearly was trying to read a book and hence stops responding.
Am I the only one who just isn't that bothered?

bunch of overpaid gheyers.
According to my driver's mate, who supports Chelsea City United or something, they have a player they're getting rid of because he wants £150k a week, but they're only prepared to pay him £90k a week. bunch of overpaid gheyers.Barmy.

Yeah, what is all that about? I was once called a "f
king homo who deserved a head but" just because I said I don't like watching over paid bawbags kicking a ball about.mat13 said:
Good work if you can get it though.
It's obscene. Sickening. Being paid stupid amounts of money just to accurately kick a bloody ball around is the biggest joke going.Do these people save lives? Change the world? Do they actually contribute to the advancement of society?
No, they're thick
s who didn't do too well at school and discovered that they can control their feet. Then they got lucky. Very lucky.Compare what Mr. Rooney gets paid to what a humble nurse at your local A&E gets paid and explain to me who does the more important job.
