This reminded me about this IT Crowd episode, proper funny, geeks learning football quotes and trying to blend it, the final quote says it all
Back to the topic, I watch football, but don't talk about it all the time, but have mates at work that go on about it every time. Most of my close mates are not into football, so that works for me.
Still don't get why PL Footballers are on £200k+ /week, guess because of all the fans paying for the ridiculous sky fees, but I stream most matches or go to the pub.

Memorize a few names, stats and dates. Then you can be one of the LAAAAAAAAAADZ.
Seriously, football banter does my fucking tits in. Like its the default topic to talk about as a British male. All the "lads" at work bang on about it every day. It's dreadfully monotonous - "Did you see (insert club) last night, what the fuck was (insert player) doing? Yeh, well (insert player) is looking much better".
Most these "lads" are in there mid thirties and bang on all day about what "lads" they are. The reality is that there all married with kids, watch X Factor on a Saturday and wash there car on a Sunday. So yeh, they need to talk about something I suppose.
