I have many lady friends, and even cousins, who are avid fans AND players of football. Indeed, I've been quite surprised by the girls whom I've played footie against.
But sometimes, u get the feeling that some women JUST don't get it.
Like poor Lewis's Missus here...
I wrote in a while ago, prompting one of those 'my missus said this...' things in the Mailbox after my good lady questioned Riise's kit clashing with his hair (when at 'Pool).
Well, yesterday she topped it. Having only got into football through me forcing it upon her, I suggested that the next time I was offered tickets for a match at United, I'd take her along so she could experience a match at Old Trafford for the first time. After detailing ad nasuem my first ever match (Giggs' debut, I'm getting old) and the magic being inside your team's stadium induces, she seemed genuinely excited by the prospect of going, as was I by this point, thinking 'great, I'll get her truly hooked on footy, then Saturdays will be all mine. My plan is working perfectly...'.
All this was ruined 30 seconds later when she turned to me and asked 'Do they play the commentary at the stadium?'.
Jesus H. Obama, I've still got work to do yet...?
Lewis, Busby Way
and then u get the ones who are can make men fall in love with them by virtue of their football knowledge...
Just to put a different spin on the wisdom that emerges from the mouths of ladyfriends at the footy...
A few years ago I was courting (my Gran says this and I like it) a beautiful Belgian girl. Honest, they do exist. Determined to seal the deal, I took her to White Hart Lane on one of her visits to London, secure in the knowledge that nothing says romance like 90 minutes of blue-tinged invective and a pie at half time.
After about 10 minutes, she turned to me and said: "Carrick and Davids aren't sharing their responsibilities properly. Davids ought to drop back to allow Carrick to push forward and pass to the strikers."
At that moment my heart melted and I fell in love.
She dumped me not too long after. Bitch.

Woman. We Men just don't understand them.
