In light (or the lack of it) of the recent heated exchange of words and flame wars in almost all the Top 4s' threads here, let us discuss on something more heartwarming and less risk (I hope) of a battle of words again.

Being a football fanatic and having dated a few girls, I find it amusing to see how different girl approaches and acts differently towards football. I used to have this girlfriend who was obviously very annoyed with my passion for the game. I remember this conversation once:

Me: Have you heard of Lionel Messi?
Her: What? Who?
Me: Lionel Messi?! One of the best football players around! He's so famous!
Her: When YOUR girlfriend doesn't know who whatever Messi is, obviously he's not popular enough!

As for my current girlfriend, she is slowly picking up on the game and she's actually very receptive towards supporting Liverpool! We went to Anfield together and now she can even memorise the Torres, Gerrard and You'll Never Walk Alone songs by heart!

So, come fill in your stories that involve your other halves and the beautiful game. For you single guys, you can even tell us about your parents with their funny antics and sentiments toward the game or something similar.

Please, do not drag club comparisons and rivalries into this thread. Keep it light and fun!

Haha, my girlfriend doesn't even have to try, she knows how Liverpool is important to me and she's just learning how to live with it now. Pity them at times though

That's because your girlfriend can give you something a football club can't
