    I just don't get that at all, I find shopping one of the most stressful experiences there is, only moving house is worse. Women from Venus, men from Mars? Nah, more like women from Alpha Centauri, men from Messier 31....

    Football isn't essential and should stop as should all elite sport. It gives a confusing message to me. Real risk the NHS will be overwhelmed but let's have some football.

    Just have before read your reply Jay.

    Couldn't locate the ones I've read over the years like. But yeah it's littered with them.

    Exactly, the amount of men sat outside shops, looking like they have lost the will to live whilst their other half takes a millenia to stalk the aisles, then she comes out with nothing, horrendous, I refuse to go with my wife, I'll do the food shopping not a problem, but going down town to look when she as nothing to go for is a big " No, I'm quite happy sat at home stapling my eye lids open thanks"

    Indeed.
    However, football has never made me feel violent or even darken my mood. But this season, iFollow has certainly prompted me to crack Mrs Broddle’s Perm round the chops on a few occasions.

    On a slightly connected point. My very good friend I've known 35-40 years. Totally friendly blowk and in all the years I've never seen him have a fight. Family man, own business and highly intelligent. Follows BFC and never been involved in a spot of bother. Top top lad....... here's the but........

    Get him behind the wheel and he turns into the Hulk. Totally different person. Aggressive abusive and embarrassing tbh. Takes ages to calm down afterwards. The slightest thing sends him off the clock........ losing on a Saturday and its well we'll just go for a pint......

    A middle lane driver and he'd kill the lot!

    Different strokes for different folks.

    The point is that we cant watch football only on TV.
    Women can still go to Tesco, M&S etc and walk round the clothing aisles and mix with other people whilst taking an age and at the same time touching everything.
    No comparison in my eyes.

    Its not the same as a good shopping trip with somebody else though, going in and out of lots of shops and sitting down for coffee or lunch.

    If they stop Football under lockdown because some idiot beats his wife up when his team loses then following that logic alcohol sales should also stop because far more domestic abuse is caused by alcohol than football

    Both only provide a transient boost in stress reduction. If you’re life has fundamental issues it’s not going to be cured by either.
