why do I care so much about the fortunes of one (admittedly exceptional) football team?
why does so-called 'important' news (wars, global warming bla, bla, bla) seem irrelevant compared to how many times town hit the back of the net? have I got my priorities right?

You have got your priories perfectly right. i couldn't give a shit about important news as you call it. |

football is massively important in society....say you go on holiday & meet a foreign, non-english speaking bloke, you will try & communicate with that person (in bizarre pidgeon English) saying stuff like Bobby Charlton, Franz Beckenbauer etc
You just happen to be lucky enough to support the greatest team in football, the world has ever seen

I came home one Saturday afternoon at approximately 4.30. The wife announced she had had enough, and wanted us to go our separate ways. I am not joking, I said can`t this wait till after I know the Town result.
Might have accelerated her decision somewhat, but what the fuck, now married to a lovely lass.
Wives may come and go, but your team is with you forever ( or more precisely you are with your team forever ! ).
UTT !!

I am obsessed with both Huddersfield Town and what is going on in the world, not being judgemental, just saying like.

I only love my team because its to linked MY past. Its silly and not reciprocal.
I could give it up easily, in the same way i could just not ring my sisters.

If you just gave up on watching the news would it affect you at all? We watch events in Syria, USA and -just as remote - Westminster, and does it have any effect upon our choices? Sure fuel prices go up etc but would it change your life? I watch the news but so much of the world turns upon tribalism and if the warring tribes don't really affect you then is there a point? It seems ignorant but the answer has to be, No.
We have our own tribalism to get on with. UTT.

Israel, Palestine, Syria, Ukraine, all politicians and religious leaders, journalists, the politically correct, the mock offended by fucking everything, the middle class chattering classes, lobbyists, environmentalists, lefties, righties, centrists, royalists, communists, government, councillors, better together, yes to independence, can go ride themselves. |

I don't even like football just love Town. In the pub the other week I couldn't name 30 premier league players but ask me the scorines of Towns last ten meetings with Brentford and I'll be able to tell you them all.

Never attempt talking to the wife just after Town have lost 4-2 . . . you may think all the anger is directed at your team, but they kind of pick up different vibes - never worth it ! |
