First love

[Arabmariner]

While reading the book "Dead Famous" by Ben Elton, I came across this  paragraph where a group of guys and girls are supposed to be discussing their first love.This is an exchange between a bloke called Gazzer and a bird called Moon after Gazzer names his football team as his first love.......

"We're talking about proper love,Gazzer" said Moon."Not f**kin football."

"So am I girl.Let's face it, the love a bloke has for his team transcends all others.Think about it.I fancy loads of birds, ALL blokes fancy loads of birds, 'cept poofs, and they fancy loads of blokes.Gay or straight, men like to put it about a bit, full stop.But when it comes to football, you only ever support one team, don't you?You're faithful, Moon, it's true love"

Well blokes.....what's the score?

Is Gazzer right ?

Answer the poll please..........just don't let the Mrs see you doing it!!

My football team came 1st, and I meet my "bird" through supporting my football team.....

I'll say "my football team", but the proper answer is "the game of football itself".  ;D

I believe some reasearch is kicking around that shows that UK makes are more likely to change their wife than their football team.

Football was there before she was

and will remain after she goes!

I don't understand how someone could ever change their football team...... it's just......... no.

NO!!!!!

(before anyone points out the case of Jo/MarinerGirl - there's an exception to every rule)

I can't think of many exceptions to the rule.
We all make de facto pledges to our club. You can't change.
Unless they no longer exist, as in the case of Northern Spirit.
But if it were in another position, eg. Perth's first three versions., I would still be there.
Football not being my first love though means that I will not always be in the stands or on the Central Coast in the future. But that doesn't change the fact that I support the Mariners over any other club until I die.

I'm assuming he did the same thing many Breakers fans did after the club folded and came to the Mariners??

P.S.  Doesn't excuse him being a Chelsea fan though......
