Recently people have been saying that Life topics have been overflowed with football topics, but I think this is mainly due to the fact that football *is* life to alot of people.

OK, so maybe football isn’t the only part of life, but it’s a whole way of life.

Reasons I enjoy Football:

1. I like playing it
2. I like watching it
3. I like talking about it
4. Did I say I like it?


I like playing it....

I play football regularly, both competitively and just for fun. Whether it’s from a Cup Final to kicking a ball around with my mates I enjoy it. The main thing is the fact that at the same time as playing football you’re socialising, making friends and having a laugh. The worst thing for me about playing football is the fact that I have to get up at 9 or 10 in the morning to get to the match. Me being a 12/1pm waker it’s quite a struggle getting up at these times!

When I’m on the field I get an adrenaline rush, which is an unexplainable feeling, but you’ll know what I’m talking about if you play competitively. The past few seasons I’ve played central midfield but this season I've been put into the Left-back position.... Left-back is bad enough when you’re left-footed... I’m right footed!
Anyway, I don’t really get the same opportunity to score now, which I have to say was the biggest buzz for me out of the game, but now instead I’ve found a new joy within the game, a sliding tackle! These babies can do some damage if you time them just right and a successful one is as good as scoring a goal.

Basically I love playing football, not for the winning, but for the fun of playing with mates. But winning doesn’t half help!


I like watching it....

“Tottenham, Tottenham are the greatest team the World has ever seen!”
“Come on you whites!”

As you may or may not have realised I’m an avid Tottenham fan. Maybe they’re not the best team in the world, but I've always supported them and love watching them. Now its not just Tottenham that I like to observe it can be any team playing and Ill sit there watching eagerly.

Viewing football also means I can learn from the players I see. Whether its Harry Kewell attempting a wondrous trick or David Beckham with one of his infamous free-kicks, ill be attempting them at training and with my mates, trying to impress.

As we all know thhe World Cup is approaching and Im definitely going to be watching England play, whether it means getting up at 5am, or missing a day of college (oh no!) The buzz that we all get during a big tournament like this is great, and what’s nice is it seems to bring us all together.


I like talking about it....

There’s so much happening in football these days that there’s so much to talk about. Transfer speculation, Great Goals, Hooliganism and more runs the lips of many football fans around the world. With the media becoming more and more involved with the game, we the public hear about things inside football that we would never before now of known.

I probably spend a lot of time discussing football whether it’s with my mates at college or on these very forums. We all enjoy talking about our “favourite” team and how many points they’re going to win the league by (Tottenham are going to win the league by 7 points by the way). We also all have different views about football and its great to share opinions and discuss various issues that we may not have thought of up till now.

Football almost seems to have its own language that all of us football fans can speak. This is a great thing because even with people you’ve never met before you can talk about football and they will know what you’re talking about, well hopefully anyway!


Did I say I like it?....

You’ve probably realised by now that I’m a bit of a football fanatic, I love to talk, play, eat, and sleep football!

In my opinion it’s the greatest sport ever imagined, well except tiddlywinks of course....

Yeah, a long accurate pass that sets up a goal definitley gives you alot of satisfaction, even if you dont get praised for it.

I still prefer scoring goals though.... Just a shame the only goal Ive scored this season was in my own net! :S

Gah at newbies.

Dave, yup. I am the same as you. I struggle to get up at 8pm! When im a 12pm waker. Ah well, setting up, scoring, making a 40yr point perfect pass or a beautifully executed tackle give the best feeling in the world. Don't listen to the faggots. Listen to me :o)
