My wifes a City Fan - ( I don't think so ! )

If like me your partner is about as interested in football as I am in the ironing, what has been the daftest thing your partner has said ???

After I had returned from the Bristol City match my wife ( pretending to show some interest in my fruitless support of the canaries ) was reading the program and said " How long has Ashton Gate been playing for Norwich ". A stunned silence was followed by a period of hysterical laughter much to the bemusement of my perplexed looking wife ![:|]

Well we tried, but believe me it wasn''t easy. She had to recheck the programme a few times before conceding she had got it wrong. At least she did eventually see the funny side of it and had a good laugh herself.

Oh well Pirate, at least she tried. And as for ironing, is anyone interested in it? I doubt it.

Maybe you should bring her along to a few matches and see if she enjoys it. I say that in all seriousness, honest!

This is not about my wife but my Mother, I was reading a daily paper and I said "Oh looks like Tottenham did well yesterday",

 She then Replied," How did Spurs get on".  Well she was 84 bless her.

Was watching South American football in bed in the early hours one morning, and was amazed at the crowd scenes.

Goodness knows how many spectators were in the stadium, but it looked like the old Stretford  End , the Kop, the Shed and anymore you might like to add, all rolled into one. Truly awesome.

In fact I was so taken back by the scenes that I woke my wife so that she would not miss it.

Bleary eyed she watched the final few minutes and when told that it was a Boca Juniors home game, she replied, "Wow, how big is the crowd for the Seniors"?

Nearly wet the bed.

Unless you''re looking for a quick divorce, no.

not football related but when the GF lived in Ipswich we went to the local aldi''s to get some food for a picnic we were going on.

We were looking at the Biscuits and cake and she said "Oh look! Macaroons, isnt that that country in Africa, always at the world cup?"

I had to give her a quick geography lesson... we stil cuckle about that now :)

Doubt anything can compare to my beloved attempting to console me with the words "don''t be upset, it just means Ipswich and Norwich are as good as each other so everyone can go home happy" moments after Counago scored an injury time penalty (retaken I believe) that went in via both posts and a rebound to give the scum a 1-1 draw at Portman Road a few years back.  Seldom has domestic violence seemed so justified.

Saturday just gone my other half asked who we were playing.  I told her Burnley.  She then responded with ''wow I didn''t even realise they had a football team!''  Just goes to show how far we have sunk, although she has pretty much zero interest in footy.

"So, How does he end up being a Boxer"

Fair play but their FA cup was in 1914 leagues in 1921 and 1960, the 60 win is in living memory but the others aren''t apart from to very few, i''ve not looked at the stats but I''d say we''ve probably been higher up the pecking order than them in the last 30 odd years.
