I've never been a football fan and I barely even get excited about the World Cup, so I've always looked on with a sense of benevolent bemusement when others get emotionally invested in following football teams; the highs and the lows, the beery passion of an afternoon sat in front of the telly, or in the stands (seats) supporting their team, the not insignificant expense of this season's replica kits, season tickets, travel to the away games etc.
Can anyone help me understand why they bother with all this, especially when they could go dangling for dogfish instead??
