Yeah, i feel like for long spells I'm fine. I'm much more chilled than when I was younger. I can be polite and smile at people chatting shit .... my gf being from Coventry has helped with that - I've found all the lads from there know sod all about premier league football.
Every now and again though, it doesn't go so well.(with friends and work colleagues) and I don't react well to confrontation, so it's easier to remove myself from the possibility I think. I'll keep working on it...

You know more than them about footy, don’t lower yourself to argue with such noobs.
The only people I can have a proper argument with about footy are my dad and brother and it’s because I know they know what they’re talking about. Everyone else it just depends what mood I’m in, if I fancy winding someone up I’ll join in, if not it goes in one ear and out the other.

Haha I appreciate the sentiment Chappy, but thinking that is probably half the reason I find myself in those positions. I'll see how I get one tomorrow and go from there!

Your common every day football fan gets his info from the suns website or sport bible or other similar clickbait shite and can't wait to shout it off as gospel, this probably covers about 8 or 9 of every ten football fans, they have a very limited scope past the top 6 clubs in England and Real and Barca, sometimes when they've heard a commentator mention something five million times they'll pass it off as their own insight 'Ronaldo's actually really good in the air you know' 'Spurs struggle at Wembley don't they'. I dunno about anyone else but I don't care whos better Ronaldo or Messi, Gerrard or Lampard, I couldn't give a shit the first time I heard it and 'whos better x or y' will never stimulate my brain because I'm not 9, you could have a crack team of scientists work for years, devising formulas to try and work out if x is better than y and for years they still won't have a definitive answer, big John in the corner of the Queens Arms in his piss soaked clothes has all the answers and he's shouting them freely for any cunt unfortunate to be within earshot.
Then you've got your educated fan who'll do anything to avoid interaction with the masses and its better that these people form their communities thay filter out the everyday gobshite (like we have). Remember on neoseeker when things would get quiet you'd have debates emerge about whos 2007 away kit was nicer or whether or not someone was or was not sat in the gods at Old Trafford with an old laptop hooked up to an RV and a pair of aa batteries, and it'd be five pages deep, by the time you've read it you're less educated than you started

Don’t argue with fools, because people from a distance can’t tell who is who

I’ve injured my larynx which means I can’t soeak at all, so I’ve had to take time off work at a very un-ideal time and use a text to speech app to talk to anyone in the house. It’s not ideal but I’m having a bit of fun with it. That was an absolutely riveting conversation with my dad when he got home from work. Another one was setting the voice accent to Irish, lowering the pitch and typing the first refrain of Fairytale of New York.
